The distance d (in miles) that you can see to the horizon with your eye level h feet above the water is given by d=3h2−−−√. You

are standing on a platform. Your eye level is 12 feet above the water. Can you see a ship that is 4.5 miles away? because you can see about miles.

Answer: He cannot see a ship that is 4.5 miles away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

d=3\sqrt{h}

Here, h is the eye level above the water

d is the distance away.

If h = 12 feet

We will get :

d=3\sqrt{12}\\\\d=3\times 2\sqrt{3}\\\\d=6\sqrt{3}\\\\d=10.39

Hence, it is 10.39 feet away when eye level is 12 feet above the water.

Therefore , he cannot see a ship that is 4.5 miles away.

irina1246 [14]
To find the volume of the prism you are going to use the formula  V=WxLxH.
When you plug in your numbers you should get V= 18x6x9 which ends up equaling 972.

Now that you have that you need to find the volume of the pyramid using the formula V= L x W x H /3 and when you plug that in it looks like
V= 18 x 6 x 15 /3

Upon simplifying that you get 540.

Now you have the volume of your rectangular prism and your rectangular pyramid add them together and you should get 1512

There were 340,000 cattle placed on feed. Write an equivalent ratio that could be used to find how many of these cattle were bet
lutik1710 [3]

There were 340,000 cattle placed on feed

How many of the 340,000 cattle placed on feed were between 700 and 799 pounds?

Given the fraction of total cattle for 700 - 799 pounds is 2/5

Let x be the number of cattle between 700 - 799 pounds

We make a proportion using the fraction

\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{340,000}

Cross multiply it and solve for x

340000* 2 = 5x

680000 = 5x

Divide by 5 on both sides

So x= 136,000

There were 136,000 cattle between 700 and 799 pounds

Art [367]

Answer: 0.813

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event describes the number of residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had increased over the past 10 years.

& B be the event describes the number of residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had decreased over the past 10 years.

Given : n(A)=721   ;  n(B)=454  ;  n(A∩B)=362

We know that ,

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)

i.e. n(A\cup B)=721+454-362=813

Also, the total number of U.S. residents surveyed n(S)= 1,000

Then, the  proportion of the 1,000 U.S. residents believed that either the amount of violent programming had increased or the overall quality of programming had decreased over the past 10 years will be :-

P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{n(A\cup B)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{813}{1000}=0.813

Hence, the required answer = 0.813
