of the 50 U.S states, 4 have names that start with the letter W. What percentage of U.S. states have names that start with the l

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

8% of of the Us states have the names that start with W.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that, of the 50 states, 4 have names that start with letter W, and to figure out what percentage of U.S. states have names that start with the letter W, we need to know what what 4 is what percent of 50.

We figure this out the following way:

Percent = $\frac{4}{50} *100=0.08*100 =8$

Percent = 8%

A boat is pulled toward a dock by means of a rope wound on a drum that is located 6 ft above the bow of the boat. If the rope is

Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The height of the dock (h) = 6

Let represent d to be the distance between the boat and the dock

Let the length of the rope between the boat and the drum be denoted by (l)

Then, the rate of change for the length of the rope be:

dl/dt = -5 ft/s

Using Pythagoras rule to determine the relationship between these values, we have:

$l^2 = h^2 +d^2$

$l^2 = 6^2 + d^2$

$l^2 = 36 + d^2$

We relate to: $2l * \dfrac{dl}{dt} = 2d* \dfrac{dd}{dt}$

From the question;

l = 34,

So to find $\dfrac{dd}{dt}$ , we get;

$d = \sqrt{l^2 - 36}$

$d = \sqrt{34^2 - 36}$

$d = \sqrt{1156- 36}$

$d = \sqrt{1120}$

d = 33.46

So, we have:

$\dfrac{dd}{dt}= \dfrac{l}{d} \times \dfrac{dl}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dd}{dt}= \dfrac{34}{33.46} \times - 5$

$\dfrac{dd}{dt}= 1.016 \times - 5$

$\dfrac{dd}{dt}=-5.08 \ ft/sec$

Triangle GHI is rotated 90Degrees clockwise and then reflected over the y-axis. Which congruency statement is true?

lesya [120]

The congruency statement which is true among the answer choices is;

On a coordinate plane, triangle G H I is rotated 90 degrees clockwise and then is reflected over the y-axis.
Triangle G H I is congruent to triangle G double-prime H double-prime I double-prime.

<h3>Which congruency statement is true?</h3>

According to the task content, the initial transformation is; Triangle GHI is rotated 90Degrees clockwise and then reflected over the y-axis.

On this note, the congruency which are true regarding the transformation are;

On a coordinate plane, triangle G H I is rotated 90 degrees clockwise and then is reflected over the y-axis.
Triangle G H I is congruent to triangle G double-prime H double-prime I double-prime.

This follows from the fact that the transformation.does not involved dilation by means of a scale factor and hence, size remains equal and all angle measures remain the same.
