Answer:

The actual speed = 27.12 mi/h

Direction = 36.5° in NE(north of east)

Step-by-step explanation:

As given , A hot air balloon is flying at a constant speed of 20 mi/h at a bearing of N 36° E.

⇒θ = 36°

Let v₀ be the constant speed, then v₀ = 20

Let vₓ be the speed in East direction

     v_{y} be the speed in North direction

So,

vₓ  = v₀ sin(θ) = 20 sin(36°) + 10 ( As given, There is a 10mi/h cross wind blowing due east.)

⇒vₓ  = 20(0.588) + 10 = 11.76 + 10 = 21.76 mi/h

and   v_{y}  = v₀ cos(θ) = 20 cos(36°) = 20(0.809) = 16.18 mi/h

Now,

the actual speed = √(vₓ)² + (v_{y})²

                            = √(21.76)² + (16.18)²

                            = √473.498 + 261.792

                            = √735.29 =  27.12

⇒The actual speed = 27.12 mi/h

Now,

Direction = θ = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x} } ) = tan^{-1}(\frac{16.18 }{21.76 } ) =  tan^{-1}(0.74) = 36.5

⇒ Direction = 36.5° in NE(north of east)

12 10,9,68,12<br> What is the most appropriate measure of center?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: The most appropriate measure of center is the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The measure of center generally represented by 1) mean 2) median 3) mode.
  • Mean is the best measure to represent the center of the data but when data have outliers it gets affected badly.
  • In that case, we use the Median as the best measure of center.

The given data is 12 10,9,68,12 .

As it can be seen that, the data have extreme value 68 ( called outliers).

In this case, we will use the Median as the best measure of center.

So, the most appropriate measure of center is the median.

Find the area of the trapezoid. points are (-5,-3)(4,-3)(6,-7)(-7,-7)​
Olegator [25]

Answer:

44 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid with bases b₁ and b₂ and height h is given by the formula

A=\left(\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\right)h

If you're wondering how we get this formula, check the attached illustration (remember the area of a parallelogram is its base multiplied by its height)! Moving on to our trapezoid, the pairs of points (-5,-3)(4,-3) and (6,-7)(-7,-7) form two horizontal segments, which form b₁ and b₂, and our height is the distance between the y-coordinates -3 and -7, which is 4. We can find b₁ and b₂ by finding the distance between the x coordinates in their pairs of points:

b_1=|-5-4|=|-9|=9\\b_2=|6-(-7)|=|6+7|=13

Putting it altogether:

A=\left(\dfrac{9+13}{2}\right)(4)=\left(\dfrac{22}{2}\right)(4)=(11)(4)=44

So the area of our trapezoid is 44.
