use Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a=1.2

b=3.2

c=x?

plug in:

1.2^2+3.2^2=x^2

1.44+10.24=x^2

add:

11.68=x^2

sqrt. the equation:

sqrt 11.68=x^2

if the sqrt. of 11.68 is 3.4176015, rounded to the nearest hundredth is, 3.42, then c (aka x in my usage) must equal about 3.42.

Hence, the shortest distance between your home and the mall is 3.42 miles.

An oil exploration company currently has two active projects, one in Asia and the other in Europe. Let A be the event that the A
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

0.7 ; 0.65 ; 0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = 0.5 ; P(B) = 0.3

P(not successful) = P(B') = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 ; P(A') = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

1.)

Both events are independent events, hence the outcome of one does not depend on the other. That is the failure of the Asian project has nothing to do with the European project.

Probability that European project isn't successful;

P(B') = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

2.)

Probability that atleast one of the 2 projects is successful :

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)

P(AnB) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.5 * 0.3 = 0.15

P(AUB) = 0.5 + 0.3 - 0.15 = 0.65

3.)

Probability that only the Asian project is successful, given that atleast one of the two projects is successful :

[P(A) - P(AnB)] ÷ P(AuB)

[0.5 * 0.15] ÷ 0.65

= 0.075 ÷ 0.65

= 0.1153846

= 0.115

Round each weight to the nearest whole gram. Then estimate the total weight of the coins in Allen’s hand. 2.500,5.000,2.268,5.67
irina1246 [14]
So the rounded weights would be 3, 5, 2, 6, and 11, as when you round, you look at the number to the right of the one you want to round to. If it's 5 or larger, you add one to the spot you're rounding to, and make the rest of the numbers after into zeroes. If it's below 5, just change the ones after the one you want to round to into zeroes and don't add one.

Then for the estimating of the weight, you would add them together. 3+5+2+6+11. That would equal 27, so the estimate weight is 27 grams.

Let h(x)=505.5+8e−0.9x . What is h(5) ? rounded to the nearest tenth. any help would be great
Naddik [55]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is rewrite the function.
 We have then:
 h (x) = 505.5 + 8 * exp (-0.9 * x)
 We evaluate the value of x = 5 in the function.
 We have then:
 h (5) = 505.5 + 8 * exp (-0.9 * 5)
 h (5) = 505.588872
 round to the nearest tenth:
 h (5) = 505.6
 Answer:
 
the value of h (5) is:
 
h (5) = 505.6

What key would you use if 10 students chose cartoons
NISA [10]

I am not 100% sure as to what you are asking, but I will try my best. Each key is equal to 3 students, so if 10 chose cartoons, a better key would be 2, 5, and 1. 1 might make it a bit cluttered, but if 10 students chose cartoons and you are using the 3 key, you can draw 1/3 of a box.
