Answer:

20 km

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.

Which representation of a transformation on a coordinate grid does not preserve congruence?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider all options:

A. Transformation with the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow (x,-y)

is a reflection across the x-axis.

Reflection across the x-axis preserves the congruence.

B. Transformation with the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow \left(\dfrac{7}{8}x,\dfrac{7}{8}y\right)

is a dilation with a scale factor of \frac{7}{8} over the origin.

Dilation does not preserve the congruence as you get smaller figure.

C. Transformation with the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+6,y-4)

is a translation 6 units to the right and 4 units down.

Translation 6 units to the right and 4 units down preserves the congruence.

D. Transformation with the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow (y,-x)

is a clockwise rotation by 90^{\circ} angle over the origin.

Clockwise rotation by 90^{\circ} angle over the origin preserves the congruence.

sattari [20]

Question in order:

The exact numbers of each color of Umbrella Corporation's most popular candy, W&Ws, naturally vary from bag to bag, but the company wants to make sure that the process as a whole is producing the five colors in equal proportions. Which of the following would represent the alternative hypothesis in a chi-squared goodness-of-fit test conducted to determine if the five colors of W&Ws occur in equal proportions?

a. H1: All of the proportions are different from 0.20

b. HI: p1 = P2 = p3 =P4=p5 = 0.20

c. H1: At least one proportion is not equal to 0.20

d. H1: At least two of the mean number of colors differ from one another.

e. HI: the number of candies per bag and candy color are dependent

Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

H1: At least one proportion is not equal to 0.20
