A submarine travels 6.6 km due West from its base and then turns and travels due South for 3.9

Mathematics

Answer:

7.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The submarine's path from its base forms a right triangle when its final position is "connected" to the base. We know that the right triangle has legs of 6.6 km and 3.9 km, and we need to find the length of its hypotenuse. To do so, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}, where a and b are the lengths of the triangle's legs and c is the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. In this case, we know what a and b are, and we need to solve for c, so after substituting the given values of a and b into a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2} to solve for c, we get:

a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}

6.6^{2} +3.9^{2} =c^{2} (Substitute a=6.6 and b=3.9 into the equation)

43.56+15.21=c^{2} (Evaluate the squares on the LHS)

58.77=c^{2} (Simplify the LHS)

c^{2}=58.77 (Symmetric Property of Equality)

\sqrt{c^{2} } =\sqrt{58.77} (Take the square root of both sides of the equation)

c=7.7,c=-7.7 (Simplify)

c=-7.7 is an extraneous solution because you can't have negative distance, if that makes sense, so therefore, the submarine is approximately 7.7 km away from its base. Hope this helps!

Which property of multiplication is shown? 6 · 1 = 1 · 6
saw5 [17]

Answer: Commutative property of multiplication  

Step-by-step explanation: The problem 6 · 1 = 1 · 6 demonstrates the commutative property of multiplication.

In other words, the commutative property of multiplication says that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.  

So for example here, 6 · 1 is equal to 6 and 1 · 6 also equals 6.

Since 6 = 6, we can easily see that 6 · 1 must be equal to 1 · 6.

In more general terms, the commutative property of multiplication can be written as a · b = b · a where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are variables that can represent any numbers.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The answer is a). 5/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the seventh graders there are 4 Boys + 2 Girls which totals 6 students.

  • The probability that a girl will be picked from the <em>seventh graders is 2/6</em>

For the eighth graders, there are 3 Boys + 5 Girls which totals 8 students

  • The probability that a girl will be picked from the <em>eighth graders is 5/8</em>

To find the<u> probability that both are girls</u>, we multiply the two fractions together:

  • 2/6 * 5/8 = 5/24
