A 24 foot flagpole casts a shadow. The distance along the ground from the base of the pole to the tip of the shadow is 9 feet. What is the distance from the top of the pole to the tip of the shadow (nearest tenth)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9.4 feet to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

This makes a right triangle so we use Pythagoras:

23^2 = 21^2 + d^2   where d is the required distance.

d^2 = 23^2 - 21^2

d^2 = 88

d = √88 = 9.3808

Find x, please. They’re vertical angles so x will be the same for both

Answers

Answer:

23.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 20 = 3x + 66

Subtract 20 from both sides and  3x from both sides

5x - 3x  + 20  - 20 = 3x  - 3x + 66 - 20

5x - 3x = 66 - 20

2x = 46

x = 23.

A jet pilot flew a distance of 3,311 mi in 5 hour and 30 min. Find the planes average rate of speed. Please Help me! I would really appreciate it if someone helped me as soon as possible. Can you also explain how you got your answer?

Answers

Answer: 602 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of speed is calculated by the formula;

= Distance / Time

You need to convert the time into hours. Time is 5 hours 30 mins.

Convert those minutes to hours:

1 hour is 60 minutes so 30 minutes would be:

= 30 / 60

= 0.5 hours

Total time = 5 hours + 0.5 hours

= 5.5 hours

Now go back to speed equation:

Speed = 3,311 / 5.5

= 602 miles

Find the measure of an exterior angle of the regular
polygon with 8 sides

Answers

Answer: 45°

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for finding the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is simply 360/n where n represents the number of sides of the polygon.

Since our polygon has 8 sides, we plug 8 in

for n and we have 360/8, which is 45.

So our answer is 45°.

Can someone give me a definition of Measure of center? Also, some facts/properties about it, example, and a non-example. Please? Thanks!​

Answers

Answer:

A measure of central tendency (measure of center) is a value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position of the data set (as representative of a "typical" value in the set). We are familiar with measures of central tendency called the mean, median and mode.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some facts/properties are:

1. There are three measures of the “center” of the data. They are the mode, median, and mean. Any of the values can be referred to as the “average.” The mode is the data value that occurs the most frequently in the data

2. And to find the measure of center:

The two most widely used measures of the “center” of the data are the mean (average) and the median. To calculate the mean weight of 50 people, add the 50 weights together and divide by 50 . To find the median weight of the 50 people, order the data and find the number that splits the data into two equal parts.

3. The four measures of center are mean, median, mode, and midrange. ... Example: The median of 1, 3, 5, 5, 5, 7, and 29 is 5 (the number in the middle). Mode – The mode is the number that repeats most often in a data set. It's seldom used in statistics as a reliable measure of center.

River Otters Drinks about 5 times as much as water as a bald eagle drink in a day

Answers

So we know that the bald eagle drinks 0.16 per day. (I am not sure liters, gallons, etc because it is not stated in the question.) Now, the question tells us that River Otters drink about 5 times MORE then the bald eagle. So first we need to multiply.  

0.16 × 5 = 0.8

So river otters drink about 0.8 per day.  

Now to find out how much a River Otter drinks in 3 days do:

0.8 × 3 = 2.4

Answer: River Otters drink 2.4 water in 3 days.  

PS. Please check which unit it is and add the unit. Sometimes points get cut off without the units!

O.8 is how much they drink a day
