It's Pythagorean Theorem, 8^2 + b^2 = 24^2

576 - 64 = b^2
\sqrt{512}  = { b}
22.6 = b
rounded to nearest tenth of a foot.

John drove 450 miles in 8 hours. he averaged 50 miles per hour on the highway and 60 miles per hour on the turnpike. how many ho
Alexeev081 [22]
Total distance John drove=450 miles
total time=8 hours
let the number of hours he drove on highway be x, number of hours he drove on turnpike will be (8-x) hours
since
distance=speed*time
distance traveled in highway=50x
distance traveled in turnpike=60(8-x)
thus the total distance will be:
50x+60(8-x)=450
simplifying the above
50x+480-60x=450
-10x=450-480
-10x=-30
thus
x=3 hours
Thus he drove on highway for 3 hours.

Solve the system of equations by graphing.
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is A.

The way you know this is by graphing the first function.

The second function is in a different format, so you just have to isolate Y. 

-1/3x + y = -1
y= 1/3x -1  OR y= -1 + 1/3x

both of the functions have the same slope, but different y-intercepts. therefore, they'll never touch. making them infinite solutions.

it's also A because both of the slopes are positive, the slopes in graph D are negative.

So, the answer is A.

Hope this helps! xx

Workout the probability that spinner A lands on 2 and spinner b does not land on b
zzz [600]

Spinner diagram isn't attached. A related spinner diagram has been attached below to provide an hypothetical solution to the problem

Answer:

4 / 15

Step-by-step explanation:

For the numbered spinner :

P(landing on 2) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (1, 2, 3) = 3

Required outcome = (1) = 1

P(landing on 2) = 1 /3

Lettered spinner :

P(does not land on b)

Total possible outcomes = (A, B, C, D, E)

Required outcome = (a, c, d, e)

P(does not land on b) = 4 / 5

Hence,

P(lands on 2, does not land on b) in this scenario is :

1/3 * 4/5 = 4 / 15
