Answer: 130 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the legs that form the right angle and c is the hypotenuse (the side directly opposite of the right angle)

50^2 + 120^2 = c ^2

2,500 + 14,400 = c^2

16,900 = c^2

Take the square root of 16,900 to get c.

C = 130

Hypotenuse length is 130

Answer:

The airplane gains speed when it takes off. Then it begins to lose speed at the same rate. The plane then stays at the same speed the rest of the time.

For a circle with a diameter of 6 meters, what is the measurement of a central angle (in degrees) subtended by an arc with a len

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{\theta=150^{\circ}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

$\text{Arc length}=r\cdot \theta$

where,

r = radius,

θ = central angle in radian.

Given,

diameter = 6 m, so radius = 3 m.

$\text{Arc length}=\dfrac{5}{2}\pi$

Putting the values,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{2}\pi=3\theta$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{5}{2\times 3}\pi$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{5}{6}\pi=\dfrac{5}{6}\times 180^{\circ}=150^{\circ}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{990}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The full question:

"A committee has eleven members. there are 3 members that currently serve as the boards chairman, ranking members, and treasurer. each member is equally likely to serve in any of the positions. Three members are randomly selected and assigned to be the new chairman, ranking member, and treasurer. What is the probability of randomly selecting the three members who currently hold the positions of chairman, ranking member, and treasurer and reassigning them to their current positions?"

The permutation of choosing 3 members from a group of 11 would be:

P(n,r) = $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$
