Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.

The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:

Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.

Tan(40°) = X/160m

Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m

Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°

So we have:

Tan(55°) = X/160m

Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m

And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:

Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m

A researcher is testing how bacterial cells react to different environments. She placed a petri dish that initially had 32,000 b
Nataly [62]

<u>Solution- </u>

A researcher placed a petri dish with 32,000 bacterial cells. One hour after being placed in the vacuum chamber, the number of cells in the petri dish had halved. Another hour later, the number of cells had again halved.

This can be represented as exponential decreasing function,

y=a(1 - r)^x

Where,

  • a = starting amount  = 32000
  • r = rate  = 50% = 0.5 as the sample becomes halved in each hour
  • x = hours

Putting the values,

\Rightarrow y=32000(1 - 0.5)^x

\Rightarrow y=32000(0.5)^x

y-intercept means, where x=0, so

\Rightarrow y=32000(0.5)^0\\\\\Rightarrow y=32000\times 1=32000

The coordinate of this poin will be (0, 32000)

This means when x=0 or at the starting of the research, the number of bacteria cells was 32000.

After 3 hours, number of bacteria cells will be,

\Rightarrow y=32000(0.5)^3

\Rightarrow y=32000\times 0.125

\Rightarrow y=4000

The  coordinate of this point will be (3, 4000)

A bicycle tire has a radius of 5 inches. To the nearest inch, how far does the tire travel when it makes 8 revolutions?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

251 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

c = 2πr

c = 2(3.14)(5) = 31.4

31.4 x 8 rev. = 251 inches

At a gymnastics meet, three judges evaluate the balance beam performances of five gymnasts, using a scale from 1 to 10, where 10
Art [367]

Answer:

As   2.551 < 3.84 therefore we reject H0.

As 44.803 > 4.46 so we accept null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is attached.

There are three judges so v1 = 3-1= 2  and v2 = (4*2)= 8

There are five gymnasts so v1 = 5-1= 4 and v2=  (4*2)= 8

For alpha = 0.05 we find the value of F1 and F2 from the table.

Rectangle ABCD with coordinates A(1,1), B(4,1), C(4,2) and D(1,2) dilates with respect to the origin to give rectangle A’B’C’D’.
Delvig [45]

Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the distance AB with the formula for calculate the distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Then, substituting the coordinates of the points A(1,1) and B(4,1), you get:

AB=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(1-1)^2}=3

You know that A'B'=6, then the scale factor of dilation can be calculated with:

k=\frac{A'B'}{AB}

Substituting values, you get:

k=\frac{6}{3}\\\\k=2

This matches with the option C.

Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.
