Answer:

20 kilometres

Step-by-step explanation:

We will imagine a triangle. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between you and the plane. 16 kilometres is the aerial space between you two, in other words its the base of the triangle. 12 km is the length of the third leg of the triangle. We will apply the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse and the distance between you and the plane.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 16^2 = c^2

144 + 256 = c^2

400 = c^2

square root of 400 is c which equals 20 km.

A comic-strip writer churns out a different number of comic strips each day. For 16 days, the writer logged the number of comic
Nimfa-mama [501]

First we need to graph the given values.

there are total 16 data so x-value can be taken as 1,2,3,...,16

given values will be assigned as y-values as shown in attached table.

Now we just graph those points to see the type of skew.

From graph we see that points are very close and almost in the shape of a line. Lines seems to be moving upward when going to the right side.

Hence correct answer will be "positive skew".

140 subtracted from the square of a number the result is three times the number find the negative solution
natima [27]

Answer:

Suppose~that~the~number~is~x.\\According~to~question,\\x^2-140=3x\\or, x^2-3x-140=0\\From~the~quadratic~formula,\\x = \frac{-(-3)+\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-140)} }{2(1)} ~and ~x= \frac{-(-3)-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-140)} }{2(1)} \\or, x = \frac{3+\sqrt{9+560} }{2}~and~x=\frac{3-\sqrt{9+569} }{2}\\or, x = \frac{3+\sqrt{569} }{2}~and~x=\frac{3-\sqrt{569} }{2}\\So,~the~required~negative~number~is~\frac{3-\sqrt{569} }{2}.
