Answer: 90/pi degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

It forms a 15cm arc from a circle of radius 30 cm.

The diameter is 30*2*pi = 60pi cm. So the arc is 15/60pi = 1/4pi of the way around a 360 degree circle. This is 1/4pi * 360 = 90/pi degrees.

Hope that helped,

See the attached picture. 

<span>you are given that ABCE is an isosceles trapezoid. </span>

<span>you are given that AB is parallel to EC. </span>

<span>this means that AE is congruent to BC. </span>

<span>you are given that AE and AD are congruent. </span>

<span>triangle EAD is an isosceles triangle because AE and AD are congruent. </span>

<span>this means that angle 1 is equal to angle 3. </span>

<span>since angle 1 is equal to angle 2 and angle 3 is equal to angle 1, then angle 3 is also equal to angle 2. </span>

<span>this means that AD and BC are parellel because their corresponding angles (angles 3 and 2) are equal. </span>

<span>since AB is parallel to EC and DC is part of the same line, than AB is parallel to DC. </span>

a direct variation function contains the points ( -8, -6 ) and (12,9 ) . Which equation represents the function ?
9966 [12]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4} x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the quantities vary directly then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use either of the 2 given points

Using (12, 9), that is x = 12 when y = 9, then

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}

y = \frac{3}{4} x ← equation of variation

Let Xn be the random variable that equals the number of tails minus the number of heads when n fair coins are flipped. What is t
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

the expected value of Xn , E(Xn) = 0 and the variance σ²(Xn) = n*(1-2n)

Step-by-step explanation:

If X1= number of tails when n fair coins are flipped , then X1 follows a binomial distribution with E(X1) = n*p , p=0,5 and the number of heads obtained is X2=n-X1

therefore

Xn =X1-X2 = X1- (n-X1) = 2X1-n

thus

E(Xn) =∑ (2*X1-n) p(X1) =  2*∑[X1 p(X1)] -n∑p(X1) = 2*E(X1)-n = 2*n*p--n= 2*n*1/2 -n = n-n =0

the variance will be

σ²(Xn) = ∑ [Xn - E(Xn)]² p(Xn) = ∑ [(2X1-n) - 0 ]² p(X1) = ∑ (4*X1²-4*X1*n+n²) p(X1) = = 4*∑ X1²p(X1) - 4n ∑X1 p(X1) -  n²∑p(X1) = 2*E(X1²) -4n*E(X1)- n²

since

σ²(X1) = n*p*(1-p) = n*0,5*0,5=n/4

and

σ²(X1) = E(X1²) - [E(X1)]²

n/4 = E(X1²) - (n/2)²

E(X1²) = n(n+1)/4

therefore

σ²(Xn) = 4*E(X1²) -4n*E(X1)- n² = 4*n(n+1)/4 - 4*n*n/2 - n² = n(n+1) - 2n² - n²

= n - 2n² = n(1-2n)

σ²(Xn) = n(1-2n)

A boat is approaching a cliff known to be 40m tall. The angle of elevation is 30°. How far away is the boat from the cliff?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

x = 40 * \sqrt{3}  meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a 30-60-90 right triangle in this situation.

the height of this triangle is 40 meters

the opposite angle is 30 degrees.

use the tangent.

let x = distance between boat and cliff

tan 30 = 40/x

1/root (3) = 40/x

x = 40 * \sqrt{3}  meters
