The cup, on the 9th hole of a golf course, is located, dead center, in the middle of a circular green, which is 35 feet in radiu
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

± 27.33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given problem, we can estimate the initial and final coordinates of the line of the ball path as (-40,-50) and (0,0). Therefore, the slope is:

(-50-0)/(-40-0) = 50/40 = 1.25

Similarly, we can estimate the slope of a perpendicular line to the line of the ball path as: -1*(1/1.25) = -0.8.

Therefore, using (0,0) and the slope -0.8, the equation of the perpendicular line is: -0.8 = (y-0)/(x-0);

-0.8 = y/x

y = -0.8x

Furthermore, we are given the circle radius as 35 ft and we can use the distance formula to find the two points 35 ft far from the origin:

35^2 = x^2 + y^2

y = -0.8x

35^2 = x^2 + (-0.8x)^2

1225 = (x^2 + 0.64x^2)

1225 = 1.64x^2

x^2 = 1225/1.64 = 746.95

x = sqrt(746.95) = ± 27.33 ft

Give me example of a unit rate used in real life
lana66690 [7]

Before you begin this lesson, please print the accompanying document, Unit Rates in Everyday Life].

Have you ever been at the grocery store and stood, staring, at two different sizes of the same item wondering which one is the better deal? If so, you are not alone. A UNIT RATE could help you out when this happens and make your purchasing decision an easy one.

In this lesson, you will learn what UNIT RATES are and how to apply them in everyday comparison situations. Click the links below and complete the appropriate sections of the Unit Rates handout.

[Note: The links below were created using the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen. If you have never watched Livescribe media before, take a few minutes to watch this very brief Livescribe orientation]

A factory produces 80,000 candies each day. They produce equal quauntities of four flavors cherry lemon orange and strawberry. T
Stells [14]

Answer: \dfrac14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The factory produces equal quantities of four flavors cherry lemon orange and strawberry.

Let  orange candy= cherry = lemon = strawberry  = x

Total candies = x + x + x + x= 4x

The probability that a randomly selected candy is orange = \dfrac{x}{4x}=\dfrac14

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected candy is orange = \dfrac14
