Answer:

Myra: 24.8s (winner)

Byron: 26.3s

Step-by-step explanation:

Myra knocked down 1, so therefore there are 2 points added onto her time and it is now 24.8s.

Byron knocked down 3, so there are 6 points added on for 2 seconds per each hurdle. His time is now 26.3

Answer:

a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is rendered and attached below.

Triangle WXY is an Isosceles right triangle, since WX=XY.

First, we determine the length of WY using Pythagoras Theorem.

WY=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}\\WY=\sqrt{32}

Since triangle WXY is Isosceles, \angle XYW=45^\circ

\angle XYZ=\angle XYW+\angle WYZ\\135^\circ=45^\circ+\angle WYZ\\\angle WYZ=135^\circ-45^\circ=90^\circ

Therefore:

Triangle WYZ is a right triangle with WZ as the hypothenuse.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem

WZ^2=WY^2+YZ^2\\9^2=(\sqrt{32})^2+a^2\\a^2=81-32\\a^2=49\\a^2=7^2\\$Therefore: a=7

olasank [31]
21.6 ÷ 0.4 = 54 times for green
21.6 ÷ 0.6 = 36 times for purple

Together, 90 beads. Separately, 54 green and 36 purple.

A private plane is traveling due east at a rate of 160 mph. A south wind is blowing 30 mph. What is the actual velocity of the p
photoshop1234 [79]

The resultant velocity of the plane is the sum of the two velocity vectors which are perpendicular to each other. See the attached figure.

The magnitude of the resultant velocity is

\sqrt{160^2+30^2}= \sqrt{26500}=162.79 \;mph.

The approximate value of the actual velocity of the plane is 163 \;mph. Correct choice is (D).
