To solve this problem, we are going to use a scientific/mathematics strategy called Dimensional Analysis.

40 miles / 1 hour * 5280 feet / 1 mile = 211200 feet / 1 hour

211200 feet / 1 hour * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 3520 feet/ 1 minute

3520 feet / 1 minute * 1 minute / 60 seconds = approximately 59 feet / 1 second

Jackrabbits travel approximately 59 feet per second, when rounded to the nearest whole number.

Bradley and Kelly are out flying kites at a park one afternoon. A model of Bradley and Kelly's kites are shown below on the coor

Alex787 [66]

The correct answer is:

C. They are similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 2:1.

Using the distance formula,

$d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

the lengths of the sides of BRAD are:

$\text{BR}=\sqrt{(7-6)^2+(3-4)^2}=\sqrt{1^2+(-1)^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}\\\\\text{RA}=\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(4-3)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+1^2}=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}\\\\\text{AD}=\sqrt{(3-6)^2+(3-2)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}\\\\\text{DB}=\sqrt{(6-7)^2+(2-3)^2}=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-1)^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}$

The lengths of the sides of KELY are:

$\text{KE}=\sqrt{(2-0)^2+(11-9)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+2^2}=\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}\\\\\text{EL}=\sqrt{(0-2)^2+(9-3)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+6^2}=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}\\\\\text{LY}=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(3-9)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}\\\\\text{YK}=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(9-11)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}$

Each side of KELY is twice the length of the corresponding side on BRAD. This makes the ratio of the sides 2:1 and the figures are similar.

17. Evaluate a. 6! b. 8P5 c. 12C4

Andreyy89

The factorial ! just means we multiply by every natural number less that the value so
6! =6×5×4×3×2×1= 720

for permutations we use the formula n!/(n-r)!
so we have 8!/(8-5)!=8!/3!=8×7×6×5×4

for combinations s we have n!/(n-r)!r!
so we have 12!/(12-4)!4!=12!/8!4!=12×11×10×9/4×3×2=11×10×9/2=99×5
