Answer:

the correct choice is A. At the gas station

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy starts at home and travels 3 miles south to the post office. From the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station. As it is known south and east directions form right angle. Since the entire trip forms a triangle, this triangle is right with right angle at the post office.

Call the vertices of this triangle P - post office, G - gas station, H - home. Then HP and PG are legs of this triangle and GH is hypotenuse.

From the given data:

HP=3;

PG=4;

GH=5;

∠P=90°.

The smallest angle is opposite to the smallest side. The smallest side is leg HP, so the smallest angle is G that is the angle at gas station.

Answer:

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1) or (k−1)365k(365k−1)(k−1)!

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find PMF

Let X = k represent the case in which there is no birthday match within (k-1) people

However, there is a birthday match when kth person arrives

Hence, there is 365^k possibilities in birthday arrangements

Supposing (k-1) dates are placed on specific days in a year

Pick one of k-1 of them & make it the date of the kth person that arrives, then:

The CDF is P(X≤k)=(1−(365k)k)/!365k, so the can obtain the PMF by  

P(X=k) =P (X≤k) − P(X≤k−1)=(1−(365k)k!/365^k)−(1−(365k−1)(k−1)!/365^(k−1))=

(k−1)/365^k * (365k−1) * (k−1)!

=(k−1)*(1−P(X≤k−1))

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1)

Ken and Hamid run around a track. It takes Ken 80 seconds to complete a lap. It takes Hamid 60 seconds to complete a lap. Ken an
likoan [24]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Ken will have run 3 laps and Hamid will have run 4.

Explanation:

To find this, we first find the number of seconds that will have passed when they meet again.  We use the LCM, or least common multiple, for this.  First we find the prime factorization of each number:

80 = 10(8)

10 = 5(2)

8 = 2(4)

4 = 2(2)

80 = 2(2)(2)(5)(2)

60 = 10(6)

10 = 5(2)

6 = 2(3)

60 = 2(2)(3)(5)

For the LCM, we multiply the common factors by the uncommon.  Between the two numbers, the common factors are 2, 2 and 5.  This makes the uncommon 2, 2, and 3, and makes our LCM

2(2)(5)(2)(2)(3) = 240

This means every 240 seconds they will both be at the start line.

Since Ken completes a lap in 80 seconds, he completes 240/80 = 3 laps in 240 seconds.

Since Hamid completes a lap in 60 seconds, he completes 240/60 = 4 laps in 240 seconds.

A spherical balloon has a circumference of 21 cm. What is the approximate surface area of the balloon to the nearest square cent
gregori [183]
The answer is D. 140 cm². I think the circumference of the balloon means the circumference of the biggest circle. So the 21=2πr². While the surface area of a sphere is S=4πr². So the S≈140 cm².
