Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This will be solved using distance formula between two coordinates.

The distance formula between two coordinates is given as;

d =

Point T has coordinate of T(80,20)

Distance to Point U(20,60) is;

TU =

TU ≈ 72 Units

Distance From Point U(20,60) to Point V(110,85);

UV =

UV ≈ 93 units

I didn't bother to calculate TV because we are looking for shortest distance for the trip and by inspection if he goes from T to V first before Point U, it will be a longer journey.

Thus, shortest distance = TU + UV

shortest distance = 72 + 93 = 165 units

In ΔEFG, the measure of ∠G=90°, EF = 95 feet, and FG = 26 feet. Find the measure of ∠F to the nearest degree.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

74.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

∠G=90° => ΔEFG is a right triangle
EF = 95 feet
FG = 26 feet

Use sine law to find ∠F

As we know:

Sin(GEF)/ GF = Sin(EGF)/EF

<=> Sin(GEF) / 26 = Sin(90)/95

<=>Sin(GEF) / 26 = 1/95

<=> Sin(GEF) = 26/95

<=> ∠GEF ≈ 15.8°

=> ∠F = 180° - ∠G - ∠GEF

∠F = 180° - 90° - 15.8° = 74.4°

The half-life of caffeine in a person’s bloodstream is about 6 hours. If a person’s bloodstream contains 80 milligrams of caffei

Luda [366]

To calculate the remaining caffeine, we use the radioactive decay formula which is expressed as An = Aoe^-kt where An is the amount left after t time, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant we can calculate from the half-life information. We do as follows:
at half-life,
ln 1/2 = -k(6)
k = 0.12/hr

An = 80e^-0.12(14)
An = 15.87 mg

Chuck travels at A) 30 mph

since chuck and dana travelled at the same amount of time (2 hours), dana travels at 26 mph, which is 4 mph less, and chuck travels at 30.

Answer:

Michael = x÷7

lee = 2(x÷7)

(x÷7)+2(x÷7)

Step-by-step explanation:

since he earns x dollars every seven days, to get the amount he earns, you divide that amount by 7 and for Lee, she gets twice as much so you multiply Michael's amount by 2
