The distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon is 6398 km

<h3>Pythagoras theorem</h3>

Pythagoras theorem is used to show the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle. It is given by:

Hypotenuse side² = Adjacent side² + Opposite side²

Let x represent the distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon

Hence:

  • x² = 6370² + 600²
  • x² = 40936900
  • x = 6398 km

The distance from the satellite to the Earth's horizon is 6398 km

The slope of a line is 5 /7. What is the slope of any line that is perpendicular to that line?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

-7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the original line. so just switch the numbers and put the top number into a negative.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that satisfies the following condition.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The equation of the line we want to write is 4y = -x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write the equation of a line

.

The standard equation of a straight line is given as:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c represents the y-intercept

Now, let’s look at the line y = 4x + 16

The slope of this line is 4

Now, the equation of the line we want to write is perpendicular to this line

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes = -1

Hence;

m * 4 = -1

m = -1/4

So the slope of the line we want to write is -1/4

Now, using the point-slope form for the new equation;

y-y1/x-x1 = m

From the point given (x1,y1) = (10,3)

Thus;

y-3/x-10 = -1/4

4(y-3) = -1(x - 10)

4y - 12 = -x + 10

4y = - x + 10 + 12

4y = -x + 22

A. One player places 1 red, 5 green and 3 blue tiles in Bag A, and 6 red, 4 green, and 2 blue in Bag B. What is the probability
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

\frac{8}{27} is the probability that a player draws out two tiles of the same color assuming they are drawing one tile from each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

In each bag there are red, green, and blue tiles, meaning that no matter which color is pulled out first there is always some probability that the second tile will be the same color. So, we can set up three possible outcomes:

Red: The player pulls out a red tile first. This has a \frac{1}{9} probability of happening. Then in order to succeed for the problem, the next tile also needs to be red which has a \frac{6}{12} probability attached to it. \frac{1}{9} × \frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{18} probability of happening.

Green: There is a \frac{5}{9} probability of the player pulling out a green tile first. In this case we want to calculate the probability of the second tile being green, which would be \frac{4}{12}. \frac{5}{9}×\frac{4}{12}=\frac{5}{27}.

Blue: There is a \frac{3}{9} probability of the first tile being blue in which case we are hoping for the second tile to be blue as well. The probability of the second tile being blue is \frac{2}{12} on its own, and them both being blue is  \frac{3}{9}×\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{18}

Adding \frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{18}+\frac{5}{27} we get the answer \frac{8}{27}.
