Answer:

B. 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a segment bisector which means the other line bisects the direct middle of AB. 17/2 is 8.5, meaning that AP should be 8.5

Answer:

i think the answer is A: 0.0005

Step-by-step explanation:

i think so because when i divided alaska by rhode island, i got 500000000. so i guess you move the decimal

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of 510 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate

sdas [7]

Answer:

442 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

To properly solve this question, I illustrate some given parameters using attached image

From the image, apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

Differentiate w.r.t time (t)

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

Divide both sides by 2

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

From the question, we have that the plan travels are 510mi/h.

This implies that:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 510mi/h$

So, we then calculate the value of x when the distance (y) is 2mi i.e.:

$y = 2mi$

Apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

$x^2 + 1^2 = 2^2$

$x^2 + 1 = 4$

$x^2 = 4-1$

$x^2 = 3$

$x = \sqrt 3$

So, the expression becomes:

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 510 = 2* \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{\sqrt 3 * 510}{2} = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 255 = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255\sqrt 3$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255 * 1.7321$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 441.655$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 442$

<em>Hence, the distance is 442 miles</em>

The table shows the heights in inches of trees after they have been planted. Determine the equation which relates x and y.

fenix001 [56]

To get the that relates x and y, we choose two points on the table and use the equation of a straight line as follows:

Recall that the equation of a staight line is obtained from the formula
$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Using the points (30, 18) and (36, 24), we have
$\frac{y-18}{x-30} = \frac{24-18}{36-30}= \frac{6}{6} =1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y-18=x-30 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=x-30+18 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=x-12$

PLEASE I NEED HELP.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

I believe it is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property switches around the order of the digits to make the problem easier. In my opinion it is easiest to multiply the fractions together, and then the whole number.
