<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are given a semi-ellipse gate whose dimensions are as follows:

  Height of 20 feet and a width of 15 feet.

Now, if a truck is loaded then:

Height of truck is: 12 feet and a width of truck is: 16 feet

The truck won't pass through the gate since the width of truck is more than that of the gate.

When the truck is not loaded then:

 Height of truck is: 12 feet and a width of truck is: 10 feet

The truck would easily pass through  the gate since, the dimensions of truck are less than that of the gate.

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 60% they having a sale, advertising an additional 30% off clearance it
bagirrra123 [75]

The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.

An item costs x dollars.

With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.

Now you apply a 30% discount.

For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.

Start with 0.4x.

Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.

70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x

After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.

Answer: 28%

A baseball analyst wants to determine the average speed of a fastball thrown in the major leagues this season. He chooses a week
Karolina [17]
If the analyst wants an average of all fastballs, it is not useful to measure other pitches, nor is it useful to limit it to a subset of the pitchers.

So, the sample should draw from all fastballs.
