Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the horizontal distance the ball travels, we need to know first how long it took to hit the ground. We will find that time in the y-dimension, and then use that time in the x-dimension, which is the dimension in question when we talk about horizontal distance. Here's what we know in the y-dimension:

a = -32 ft/s/s

v₀ = 0 (since the ball is being thrown straight out the window, the angle is 0 degrees, which translates to no upwards velocity at all)

Δx = -15 feet (negative because the ball lands 15 feet below the point from which it drops)

t = ?? sec.

The equation we will use is the one for displacement:

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in:

-15=(0)t+\frac{1}{2}(-32)t^2 which simplifies down to

-15=-16t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-15}{-16} } so

t = .968 sec (That is not the correct number of sig fig's but if I use the correct number, the answer doesn't come out to be one of the choices given. So I deviate from the rules a bit here out of necessity.)

Now we use that time in the x-dimension. Here's what we know in that dimension specifically:

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is always 0)

v₀ = 80 ft/sec

t = .968 sec

Δx = ?? feet

We use the equation for displacement again, and filling in what we know in this dimension:

Δx = (80)(.968) +(0)(.968)^2 and of course the portion of that after the plus sign goes to 0, leaving us with simply:

Δx = (80)(.968)

Δx = 77.46 feet

Two events, X and Y, are independent of each other. P(Y) = 5/6 and P(X and Y) = 1/3. What is P(X) written as a decimal? Round to
Ksenya-84 [330]
For independent events,
P(X ∩ Y) = P(X)* P(Y)
=>
1/3 = P(X)*(5/6)
solve for P(X) =>
P(X) = (1/3)*(6/5) = 2/5 = 0.4

Answer:

(a)x=128 degrees

(b)\angle APD\neq 116^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

\angle ABD+\angle CBD =180^\circ$ (Linear Postulate)\\\angle ABD+116^\circ =180^\circ\\\angle ABD=180^\circ-116^\circ\\\angle ABD=64^\circ

(a) Now:

\angle AOD=2 \times \angle ABD$ (Angle at the centre is twice the  angle at the circumference)\\x=2 \times 64^\circ\\x=128^\circ

(b)

\angle APD=2 \times \angle ABD$ (Inscribed Angle Theorem)\\\angle APD=2 \times 64^\circ\\ \angle APD=128^\circ

\angle APD\neq 116^\circ

Work out the size of angle x <br> Next to 164 and 90
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

x=106 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume that this is a circle since you didn't give it to me

So you want to add 164 and 90 together and subtract the sum by 360

360-(164+90)=106

So you want to use PEMDAS (order of operations) to solve this

  1. so do what's in the perenthesis first so 164+90=254
  2. Then you want to subtract 254 from 360 so 360-254=106

x=106 degrees

On a right triangle, to find one missing side you can use this equation
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are the sides next to the right angle, and c is the hypotenuse (side not connected to right angle).

You first need to find the length of the dotted line before finding x. This is because to be able to use the above formula, you have to know the length of two out of three of the sides.

To solve the length of the dotted line, note that it also makes a triangle with the 5 unit line and the 5 √5 unit line. You can plug these numbers into the formula.
(5)^2+b^2=(5 √5)^2
25+b^2=125
b^2=100
b=10

Now that you know the length of the dotted line is 10 units, you can now solve for x

(20)^2+(10)^2=x^2
400+100=x^2
500=x^2
x= √500, which equals 22.361
