Answer:

<h3>6 feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation

Using the pythagoras theorem;

Given

The length of the flag pole = 8 feet = opposite side

Length of the rope = 10 feet = hypotenuse

To determine how far out on the ground he need to secure the rope from the flagpole so that the rope is tight, we need to look for the adjacent. Using the equation

hyp² = opp² + adj²

10² = 8² + adj²

adj² = 100-64

adj² = 36

adj = √36

adj = 6feet

Hence the rope should be placed 6feet out of the ground

The following data show the scores of some students in a competition:
Dima020 [189]

The box plot that represents the data is a box plot titled "Scores of Participants" and labeled "Score" uses a number line from 10 to 35 with primary markings and labels at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35. The box extends from 13 to 27 on the number line. A line in the box is at 24. The whiskers end at 11 and 31.(second option)

<h3>Which box plot represents the data?</h3>

A box plot is used to study the distribution and level of a set of scores. The whiskers represent the minimum and maximum values.

On the box, the first line to the left represents the lower (first) quartile. The next line on the box represents the median. The third line on the box represents the upper (third) quartile. 75% of the scores represents the upper quartile.

The data arranged in ascending order : 11, 13, 23, 24, 24, 27, 31

Median = 24

First quartile = 1/4 x (7 + 1) = 2nd term =13

Third quartile = 3/4 x (7 + 1) = 6th term = 27

Find the quotient and reduce to lowest terms: ((x²-4)/(3x)) ÷ ((x-2)/(2x)).
DENIUS [597]

Answer:   2/3 * (× + 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

((x²-4)/(3x)) ÷ ((x-2)/(2x)).          ⇒   [ ( ײ - 4 ) * 2x ] ÷ [ ( × - 2 ) *3x ]

Simplifying by x   [ 2 * ( ײ - 4 ) ] ÷ [ ( × - 2 ) *3 ] ⇒ (2/3)*{ [ ( x-2 )*(×+2)]÷ (×-2) }

Simplifying by ( ×+2)     2/3 * (× + 2 )
