Lucy has to run two errands. She starts from home and travels 3 miles south to the post office. From the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station. Then, from the gas station, she travels 5 miles to return home. The entire trip forms a triangle.

What was the smallest angle made in her trip?

It is at the gas station.
It is at Lucy’s home.
It is at the post office.
It depends on the direction Lucy is traveling.

Answers

Answer 1

Lucy starts from home and travels 3 miles south to the post office. From the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station. As it is known south and east directions form right angle. Since the entire trip forms a triangle, this triangle is right with right angle at post office.

Call the vertices of this triangle P - post office, G - gas station, H - home. Then HP and PG are legs of this triangle and GH is hypotenuse.

From the given data:

HP=3;PG=4;GH=5;∠P=90°.

The smallest angle is opposite to the smallest side. The smallest side is leg HP, so the smallest angle is G that is the angle at gas station.

Answer: correct choice is A.


Answer 2

In this exercise we have to mark the correct alternative corresponding to the location, so we have:

Letter A

The following information was then given by the statement:

Lucy starts from home and travels 3 miles south to the post officeFrom the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station.

Imagining the paths made by lucy as a triangle, we know that the longest path that corresponds to the hypotenuse will be from the gas station to her house, so:

HP=3;PG=4;GH=5;P=90°.

We have:

[tex]180-90=90\\90/2=45\\45-15=30[/tex]

The smallest angle is at the gas station.

Answers

6 inches is the answer
P= 2( L+W)

Answer: 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The perimeter of the rectangle = 40 inches

Let the unknown side be w.

And the bottom side l=14 in.

We know that the perimeter of rectangle is given by :-

[tex]\text{Perimeter}=2(l+w)\\\Rightarrow40=2(14+w)\\\Rightarrow\frac{40}{2}=14+w\\\\Rightarrow20=14+w\\\Rightarrow\ w=20-14)\\\Rightarrow w=6\ in.[/tex]

Hence, the  the length of w = 6 inches.

Find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -11,-3,5,13,...

tn=-11+8(n-1). n represents which number of the sequence you will find, so if you plugged in a 3 you would find the third number in the sequence. 
In this sequence, a1 = -11, k = 8

Using Pythagorean inequalities, determine which set of the given three sides produces an obtuse triangle. A. 4, 5, 6 B. 5, 13, 19 C. 12, 14, 25 D. 21, 72, 75

Answers

Answer:

Obtuse triangle sets

B. 5, 13, 19

C. 12, 14, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean inequality for the sides of the triangle to be an obtuse:

[tex]a^2 + b^2 < c^2[/tex], where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.

The other Pythagorean inequalities are:

[tex]a^2 + b^2 > c^2[/tex], for Acute triangle

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex], for Right triangle

Now let's check which set of the given sets satisfy the above inequality.

Option A

4, 5, 6

Here a = 4, b = 5 and c = 6

[tex]4^2 + 5^2 < 6^2\\16 + 25 < 36\\41 < 36\\[/tex]

Which is not true.

Here [tex]a^2 + b^2 > c^2[/tex], So this is Acute triangle

Option B

5, 13, 19

Here a = 5, b = 13 and c = 19

[tex]5^2 + 13^2 < 19^2\\25 + 169 < 361\\194 < 361\\[/tex]

Which is true. This is Obtuse triangle

Option C

Here a = 12, b = 14 and c = 25

[tex]12^2 + 14^2 < 25^2\\144 + 196 < 625\\340 < 625\\[/tex]

Which is true. This is obtuse triangle.

Option D

Here a = 21, b = 72 and c = 75

[tex]21^2 + 72^2 < 75^2\\441 + 5184 < 5625\\5625 < 5625\\[/tex]

Which is not true for obtuse.

Here [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex], for Right triangle

So this is Right triangle.

The Baker uses 1,232 ounces in 2 weeks. 
1 pound= 16 ounces.
16 ounces x 5.5 lb= 88
2 weeks=14 days

What is the probability of receiving a 6 or a 9 from a deck of 52 cards and an ace or a king?

Answers

Final answer:

The probability of selecting a heart or a face card from a standard deck of cards is approximately 42.31%, which is significantly higher than the probability of selecting just a heart suit face card, which is about 5.77%.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability of selecting a heart or a face card, we first need to count the number of favorable outcomes. There are 13 hearts in a deck of cards and 12 face cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings, with 3 in each suit). However, there are overlap cards that are both hearts and face cards (Jack, Queen, King of Hearts), which amount to 3 cards. We must subtract these to avoid double counting. So, the formula to find the total number of favorable outcomes is:

Favorable outcomes = Total hearts + Total face cards - Overlap of hearts and face cards

Favorable outcomes = 13 (hearts) + 12 (face cards) - 3 (heart face cards) = 22

Next, we calculate the probability:

P(A) = Favorable outcomes / Total number of cards

P(A) = 22 / 52 ≈ 0.4231 or 42.31%

This is the probability of selecting a heart or a face card from a standard deck. Comparing this to the probability of selecting a heart suit face card (which is 3/52 or about 5.77%), it is clear that selecting a heart or a face card is much more likely.

Therefore, the probability of selecting either a heart or a face card is less than the probability of drawing only heart-suit face cards, since the number of favorable outcomes for the latter is smaller.

Then find the difference between each of the numbers and the mean.
4.4, 3.4, 0.4, 1.6, 6.6
Then find the mean of those values.
4.4+3.4+0.4+1.6+6.6=16.4
16.4/5=3.28
Final answer: 3.28

Answer:

(MAD) Mean Absolute Deviation: 3.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean: 4 + 5 + 8 + 10 + 15 = 42/5 = 8.4

8.4 - 4 = 4.4

8.4 - 5 = 3.4

8.4 - 8 = 0.4

8.4 - 10 = 1.6

8.4 - 15 = 6.6

Mean Absolute Deviation: 4.4 + 3.4 + 0.4 + 1.6 + 6.6 = 16.4/5 = 3.28

Robert buys 3 pounds of bananas at $0.50 per pound and 3 pounds of apples at $1.00 per pound. Which of the following expressions represents the total cost of the fruit he bought (in dollars

Answers

Well I mean we know he spent a total of $4.50, but since we don't have any of the answer choices this is almost impossible. 

Answer:

The answer is $3(0.50+1.00)

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert bought 3 pounds of bananas at $0.50 per pound which can be expressed as:

[tex]3*0.50[/tex]

And 3 pounds of apples at $1.00 per pound which can be expressed as:

[tex]3*1.00[/tex]

As Robert bought the apples and bananas, you can add both expressions:

[tex]3*0.50 + 3*1.00[/tex]

This expression can be factorized as:

[tex]3(0.50+1.00)[/tex]

or

[tex]3(1.50)[/tex]

Both expressions will give you the same result, which is $4.50.

A number line contains points Q, R, S, and T. Point Q is on the coordinate 24, R is on the coordinate 28, S is on the coordinate 29, T is on the coordinate 42. Find the probability that a point chosen at random on QT is on ST. Express your answer as a percent.

25%
42.2%
50%
72.2%

Answers

This probability is going to be the length of segment ST divided by the length of QT so

P(ST)=(42-29)/(42-24)

P(ST)=13/18

As a percentage:

(p/100)=(13/18)

p=1300/18%

p=650/9%

p≈72.2%  (to nearest tenth of a percent)

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Point Q is on the coordinate 24, R is on the coordinate 28, S is on the coordinate 29, T is on the coordinate 42.

Total numbers lie on line QT is

[tex]42-24=18[/tex]

The numbers lie on line ST is

[tex]42-29=13[/tex]

The probability that a point chosen at random on QT is on ST is

[tex]P=\frac{\text{The numbers lie on line ST}}{\text{Total numbers lie on line QT}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{13}{18}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]P=72.222\approx 72.2\%[/tex]

The probability that a point chosen at random on QT is on ST is 72.2%. Therefore option 4 is correct.
