Answer:

20.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be solved by applyPythagoreanean theory

a^2+b^2= c^2

19^2 + b^2= 28^2

361 + b^2= 784

b^2= 784-361

= 423

b= √423

= 20.6

John is driving around town. When he reaches the gas station, he notes that he has traveled 20 miles. He reaches home 2 hours la
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

d=5t+20

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that will model this situation will be of the form

d=mt+b

where t is the time in hours john has traveled since the gas station, and  d is the distance.

Now we know that John has already traveled 20 miles when he is at the gas station, this means at t=0, d=20; or

20=m(0)+b

\boxed{b=20}

Thus we have

d=mt+20.

Now we need to figure out m.

When John reaches home 2 hours later he notes that he has traveled 30 miles, which means he has traveled 30 - 20 = 10 miles; thus we have

m= \frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} =\frac{10 miles}{2hours} =5

\boxed{m=5}

Now we have the full equation:

\boxed{d=5t+20}

Amanda is a cabinetmaker. She makes cabinets using one of three types of wood: birch, maple, or cherry. She can finish each type
padilas [110]
Assume that each material in each category has an equal chance of being selected.

Categories:
(a) Type of wood used to make the cabinet: birch, maple, cherry.
     Each type of wood has a probability of 1/3 to be selected.
(b) Type of finish: transparent, semi-transparent.
    Each type of finish has a probability of 1/2 to be selected.
(c) Knob: bronze, steel, wood.
     Each material has 1/3 probability to be selected.

Each event (selecting material for the cabinet, for the finish, and for the knob) is an independent event.

Therefore
Probablity(birch wood AND bronze knob) = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
Probability(wood knob) = 1/3
Probability(transparent stain) = 1/2
Probability(cheryy wood AND semi-transparent stain) = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6
