<span>c = w*45/13 + 60/13 I will be assuming that the equation will be linear since there are only 2 data points available. The form of the equation will be c = aw + b where c = calories burned a = some constant w = weight b = some other constant. If you look at the equation, you'll notice that it looks like the equation for a line i slope intercept form. So first, let's calculate the slope of the desired equation. a = (600-420)/(172-120) = 180/52 = 45/13 = 3.461538462 Now we have the equation c = w*45/13 + b Substitute the values for a known point, giving 420 = 120*45/13 + b Now solve for b 420 = 120*45/13 + b 420 = 5400/13 + b 420 - 5400/13 = b 5460/13 - 5400/13 = b 60/13 = b So now the equation is c = w*45/13 + 60/13</span>

The lengths of the two sides of a triangle (not necessarily a right triangle) are 1.00 meters and 3.54 meters. The sine of the a
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

sin B= 0.096288

B = 5.525°

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider ΔABC as shown in figure attached

From figure:

a = 1 m

b = 3.54 m

sin A = 0.0272

sin B = ?

Using the sine rule for non-right-angle triangle

\\\frac{a}{sin\, A}=\frac{b}{sin\,B}\\\\sin\,B=\frac{b(sin\,A)}{a}\\\\sin\,B=\frac{(3.54)(0.0272)}{1}\\\\sin\,B=0.096288\\\\B= 5.525^o

For a track meet, Tara ran the 1,600 m event at constant speed in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. What was her speed?
9966 [12]

Answer:

300 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the general formula of d = rt, where d = distance, r = rate and t = time, we can solve for the missing variable (r, or speed). Given Tara's distance of 1600 m and her total time of 5 minutes and 20 seconds, first convert her time into just minutes:

5 \frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}

5\frac{1}{3}=\frac{16}{3}

1600 = r(16/3)

Multiply both sides by reciprocal of 16/3:  3/16(1600) = r(16/3)(3/16)

Solve for 'r': 300 meters per minute
