Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be represented by a right angle triangle, shown in the diagram below.

The distance between Jin and Zoe is the hypotenuse of the triangle, x.

According to Pythagoras theorem,

hyp² = opp² + adj²

Where opp is the opposite side and adjacent is the adjacent side to any angle of consideration (which is not important in this case)

Hence:

x² = 12² + 9²

x² = 144 + 81

x² = 225

Finding the square root:

x = 15 ft

Jin and Zoe are 15 ft apart.

The universal set is the set of rational numbers. S is the set of integers. Which represents Sc?The universal set is the set of
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The set of numbers of the form \frac{p}{q} , q≠0 and q≠ 1 or -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

U = the universal set = the set of all rational numbers

S = set of all integers.

It is required to find S^{c}.

Now, S^{c} is the complement of the set S.

i.e. S^{c} = U - S = set if rational numbers - set of integers

i.e. S^{c} = the set of rationals which are not integers i.e. the set of points of the form \frac{p}{q} , q≠0 and q≠ 1 or -1.
