Answer:

(B) set B

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest spread is the range of the given data set.

(A) The given data set is:

84,91,87,77,94,89,74

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

77, 77, 84, 87, 89, 91, 94

The range is given as:

$R=94-74=20$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 20.

(B) The given data set is:

89,73,84,91,87,77,94

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

73, 77, 84, 87, 89, 91, 94

The range is given as:

$R=94-73=21$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 21.

73,84,89,88,77,91,87,90

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

73, 77, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91

The range is given as:

$R=91-73=18$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 18.

(D) The given data set is:

84,89,88,82,91,87,99

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have

82, 84, 87, 88, 89, 91, 99

The range is given as:

$R=99-82=17$

Thus, the spread of the given data is 17.

Therefore, set B has the greatest spread that is 21.

What is the lateral area of a right rectangular prism that has rectangular bases measuring 3" by 5" and a height of 6"?

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The answer is the option A

$96\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of a right rectangular prism is equal to

$LA=P*h$

where

P is the perimeter of the base

h is the height of the prism

Find the perimeter

$P=2*(3+5)=16\ in$

$h=6\ in$

substitute in the formula

$LA=16*6=96\ in^{2}$

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

$b_2 = -2.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21$

Required

Determine the value of T

$\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * \frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21 * 2$

$(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 42$

Divide through by 6

$4.5 + b_2 = 42/6``$

$4.5 + b_2 = 7$

$b_2 = 7 - 4.5$

$b_2 = -2.5$

horrorfan [7]

The slope:
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( 8 2 ) / ( 3 - 2 ) = 6 / 1
m = 6 ( we have the same slope for AB and A`B` )
AB = √[( 3 - 2 )² + ( 8 - 2 )²] = √37
A`B` = 3.5 √37 = 21.29

point M with coordinates (3,4) is the midpoint of the line AB and A has the point (-1,6). what is the point of B?

irina [24]

Answer:

B = (7, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 2M -A

B = 2(3, 4) -(-1, 6) = (2·3-(-1), 2·4-6)

B = (7, 2)

_____

The expression for the other end point, B, comes from the equation for the midpoint.

M = (A +B)/2

2M = A + B . . . . . multiply by 2

2M -A = B . . . . . . subtract A to get an expression for B
