Answer: 11.6

--------------------------------------

Explanation:

See the attached image for a visual reference

The distance from point D to E is 21 units. Point C is the midpoint, so CD is 10.5 units long (21/2 = 10.5)

We have a right triangle ACD. The legs are
AC = 5
CD = 10.5
The hypotenuse is
AD = x
Because AD is another radius of the same circle

Use the pythagorean theorem to find x
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 10.5^2 = x^2
25 + 110.25 = x^2
135.25 = x^2
x^2 = 135.25
x = sqrt(135.25)
x = 11.629703349613
which rounds to 11.6 when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)

A thermodynamic analysis of a proposed brayton cycle gas turbine yields p=5 mw of net power production

lina2011 [118]

The Brayton cycle is a thermodynamic cycle named after George Bailey Brayton that describes the workings of a constant pressure heat engine. The original Brayton engines used a piston compressor and piston expander, but more modern gas turbine engines and air breathing jet engines also follow the Brayton cycle.

Assuming that boy and girl babies are equally likely, what would be Kathy's probability of having at most one daughter if she

JulijaS [17]

Answer: 0.3125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance of having a boy is 0.5,
the chance of having a girl is also 0.5.

Outcome 1: all boys

boy boy boy boy

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Outcome 2: first child is a girl, all others are boys

girl boy boy boy

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Outcome 3: second child is a girl, all others are boys

boy girl boy boy

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Outcome 4: third child is a girl, all others are boys

boy boy girl boy

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Outcome 5: fourth child is a girl, all others are boys

boy boy boy girl

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Therefore,

0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 = 0.0625 * 5 = 0.3125

Whats 126/399 in its simplest form

marusya05 [52]

A common factor of both 126 and 399 is 3 so we can divide both numbers by 3.

126 / 3 = 42
399 / 3 = 133

A common factor for both 42 and 133 is 7 so we can divide both numbers by 7.

42 / 7 = 6
133 / 7 = 19

19 is a prime number so we can't reduce it anymore, therefore 126/399 in its simplest form is 6/19
