Answer:

74.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Hannah, the kite and Patricia form the vertices of a right-angled triangle with the hypotenuse side the length of the string L = 60 feet and adjacent side the distance between Hannah and Patricia = d = 16 feet.

Let the angle between the string and the sand be Ф.

By trigonometric ratios,

cosФ = adjacent/hypotenuse

= d/L

= 16 feet/60 feet

= 0.2667

Ф = cos⁻¹(0.2667)

= 74.53°

≅ 74.5°

So, he angle between the string and the sand is Ф = 74.5°

Point A is located at (5, 10) and point B is located at (20, 25).
Alla [95]
Let's say the point is C, so C partitions AB into two pieces, where AC is at a ratio of 3 and CB is at  a ratio of 7, thus 3:7,

\bf \left. \qquad  \right.\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
A(5,10)\qquad B(20,25)\qquad
\qquad 3:7
\\\\\\
\cfrac{AC}{CB} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies 7A=3B\implies 7(5,10)=3(20,25)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
{ C=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)}\\\
-------------------------------

\bf C=\left(\cfrac{(7\cdot 5)+(3\cdot 20)}{3+7}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(7\cdot 10)+(3\cdot 25)}{3+7}\right)
\\\\\\
C=\left( \cfrac{35+60}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{70+75}{10} \right)\implies C=\left(\cfrac{95}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{145}{10}  \right)
\\\\\\
C=\left( \cfrac{19}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{29}{2} \right)\implies C=\left( 9\frac{1}{2}~~,~~14\frac{1}{2}  \right)

Data were collected on the number of days per week that members visit a certain fitness center. The values varied from 0 to 7, a
pshichka [43]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

choice A is not guaranteed since the values varied from 0 to 7.

choice B seems alright, but doesn't include about or anything about the long run.

choice C is incorrect because 50% are less than 3.12 and 50% are greater than 3.12.

choice D seems pretty good, since it says average, long run, approach, etc.

choice E is incorrect because it says "will be". It is not definite.

gpm = 29.7 \times  {d}^{2}  \times  \sqrt{np}
this formula is used to determine gpm (gallons per minute) of flow with a known hose diameter (d) and nozzle pressure (np). The constant (29.7) is consistent when figuring flow with in gallons with a know pressure expressed in psi (pounds per square inch).

Scenario example: a firefighter is using a handline to fight fire with an 1 3/4 inch line with a nozzle pressure of 100 psi. How much water is the firefighter flowing when fighting fire?

gpm = 29.7 \times  {1.75}^{2}  \times  \sqrt{100}
