Answer:
the guy wire is 7.211 ft long
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that we are in the presence of a right angle triangle formed by: the height (the standing 6 ft pole), the base (the distance from the pole to the anchoring point on the ground), and the actual guy wire. See attached image for reference.
Notice that since pole and ground are perpendicular to each other (at 90 degrees) , the guy wire forms what is called the "hypotenuse" (longest side) of the right angle triangle. We can therefore use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem with the formula for the hypotenuse:
Molly's 3.45 mi - sisters 1.23 - brothers .85
3.45- 1.23= 2.22
2.22-.85=1.37
molly walked 1.37 miles farther
Answer:
D. 15-8=17-10
Step-by-step explanation:
Both equal 7
So since he eats a pound of food when he weighs 3 ounces he eats about 5 and 1/3 times more than his own size. That means if we ate like shrews and we weighed 80 pounds we would eat about 426 pounds of food.
Answer:
The number of students who scored more than 90 points is 750.
Step-by-step explanation:
Quartiles are statistical measures that the divide the data into four groups.
The first quartile (Q₁) indicates that 25% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₁.
The second quartile (Q₂) indicates that 50% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₂.
The third quartile (Q₃) indicates that 75% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₃.
It is provided that the first quartile is at 90 points.
That is, P (X ≤ 90) = 0.25.
The probability that a student scores more than 90 points is:
P (X > 90) = 1 - P (X ≤ 90)
= 1 - 0.25
= 0.75
The number of students who scored more than 90 points is: 1000 × 0.75 = 750.
