Find the measure of b. please help!

<h3>Answer:  40</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The inscribed angle 20 degrees doubles to 2*20 = 40 which is the measure of the central angle, and the arc in which the inscribed angle subtends (or cuts off). This is due to the aptly named inscribed angle theorem.

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

A slightly longer alternative path would be to do this:

The triangle with interior angles 20 and c is isosceles. Note how the missing angle up top is one of the congruent base angles, so the missing angle is 20 degrees. That means angle c is...

20+20+c = 180

40+c = 180

c = 180-40

c = 140

Then angle b is supplementary to this

b+c = 180

b+140 = 180

b = 180-140

b = 40

This path leads to the same answer. It's slightly longer, but it's a path you can take if you aren't familiar with the inscribed angle theorem.

In fact, this line of thinking is effectively how the inscribed angle theorem is proved as shown in the diagram below.

The distance from the Earth to the moon is about 239,000 miles. Rewrite the distance in scientific notation.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

2.39 x 10^5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it is not usually written, there is always a .0 at the end of a number unless there is a specific decimal that was given.

So, the number here is 239,000.0 and if you count the number of spaces that the decimal needs to move in order to be in the correct spot for scientific notation (which is always after the first number), there is 5 spaces.

Therefore the answer is 2.39 x 10^5 miles.

A jar of peanut butter contains 454 g with a standard deviation of 10.2 g. Find the probability that a jar contains more than 46
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is 0.119.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a jar of peanut butter contains a mean of 454 g with a standard deviation of 10.2 g.

Let X = <u><em>Amount of peanut butter in a jar</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 454 g

           \sigma = standard deviation = 10.2 g

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=454 , \sigma^{2} = 10.2^{2})

Now, the probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is given by = P(X > 466 g)

            P(X > 466 g) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{466-454}{10.2} ) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.18)

                                                                  = 1 - 0.881 = <u>0.119</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

It took Mark a total of 4 hours 40 minutes to clean the garage and cut the grass. If it took 1 hour 45 minutes to cut the grass,
Lady_Fox [76]
You can get the answer by subtracting the time it took Mark to cut the grass from the total amount of time it took him to do the chores. So 4 hours and 40 minutes minus 1 hour and 45 minutes is 2 hours and 55 minutes
