Draw four different triangles with the following two side lengths (you decide the length of side c). Be sure to label the sides and their lengths.

Side a = 2 cm

Side b = 5 cm


















Look at the triangles you created. What do you notice about the different lengths of line c?

Write an inequality that shows the possible lengths for line c (the triangle inequality theorem will help you):

Answers

Answer 1
The different length of c is greater than the sum of the length of the other two sides (2+5 =7).

If the assumed length of c is less than 7, a triangle will not be formed.
Answer 2

Answer:

As we can observe from the drawing that with increasing length of side C the angle C also increases.

A-Town wants to know the number of cell phones in each household the town divides the population up by neighborhood and surveys a random number of households and eat what type of survey is this

Answers

It would be a Stratified Survey
Final answer:

A-Town is conducting a survey using a random sample method by dividing the population into neighborhoods and surveying random households in each, which ensures each household has an equal chance of being selected and provides a representative sample.

Explanation:

A-Town's approach to determining the number of cell phones in each household through a survey is an example of a random sample. The method involves dividing the population into neighborhoods and surveying a random selection of households within each area. This technique helps to ensure that every household has an equal chance of being selected, which should provide a representative sample of the town's population. Such methods are necessary to obtain reliable data that reflects the true distribution and characteristics of the target population without regional bias.

Using a representative sample is crucial in research and polling to measure accurately public opinion or collect data on phenomena. As in the given example where the market research firm surveys 500 randomly selected residents to estimate the percentage of adults with cell phones, the firm employs statistical measures like confidence intervals to infer about the entire population's cell phone ownership based on the sample data. Moreover, the concept of probability sampling is also important for achieving a sample that can be generalized to the whole population with reasonable accuracy.

Answer:

  1 13/20

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the total of distances walked to be the length of the hike:

  2 1/10 + 1 1/4 + (left to walk) = 5

Then the amount left to walk is the difference ...

  left to walk = 5 - 2 1/10 - 1 1/4

___

You are expected to know how to do arithmetic with mixed numbers, and/or to be able to use a calculator for the purpose.

  5 - 2 1/10 - 1 1/4

  = (5 -2 -1/10) - 1 1/4

  = 2 9/10 - 1 1/4

  = (2 -1) + (9/10 -1/4)

  = 1 + (9/10 -1/4)

  = 1 + (18/20 - 5/20)

  = 1 13/20 . . . miles left to walk

___

Using a calculator:

  5 -2.1 -1.25 = 1.65 = 1 65/100 = 1 13/20

Sandy releases a javelin 1.6 m above the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 25 m/s. How long will it take the javelin to hit the ground?

Answers

Time taken for the javelin to hit the ground will be given by:
A(t)=V'(t)=S''(t)
A(t)=-9.8m/s
⇒V(t)=-9.8t/1+C m/s

Where C is the initial velocity:
⇒V(t)=-9.8t+25
⇒S(t)=-9.8t²/2+25t/1+C
⇒S(t)=-4.9t²+25t+C
but the C is the initial vertical displacement, hence:
S(t)=-4.9t²+25t+1.6m

The time taken to hit the ground will therefore be:
S(t)=0
-4.9t²+25t+1.6=0


Using a quadratic function, it is found that it will take 5.17 seconds for the javelin to hit the ground.

What is the quadratic function for a projectile's height?

Considering meters as the measure of height, it is given by:

h(t) = -4.9t² + v(0)t + h(0).

In which:

v(0) is the initial velocity.h(0) is the initial height.

In this problem, we have that v(0) = 25, h(0) = 1.6, hence:

h(t) = -4.9t² + 25t + 1.6

It hits the ground when h(t) = 0, hence:

-4.9t² + 25t + 1.6 = 0

4.9t² - 25t - 1.6 = 0.

Which is a quadratic function with coefficients a = 4.9, b = -25, c = -1.6. Hence:

[tex]\Delta = (-25)^2 - 4(4.9)(-1.6) = 656.36[/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{25 + \sqrt{656.36}}{9.8} = 5.17[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \frac{25 - \sqrt{656.36}}{9.8} = -0.06[/tex]

For time we want the positive value, hence, it will take 5.17 seconds for the javelin to hit the ground.

How many arrangements are possible using the letters in the word fuzzy if each letter "z" is distinctly different than the other? how many arrangements are possible if the letter "z" is interchangeable with the other? explain your reasoning?

Answers

120, 60
First answer is 5!, second answer is 5!/2 because swapping two z's does not generate a new permutation.

Case 1: If the letter z is distinctly different

If we have the letter z which is distinctly different than the other "z", then we have five letters in the word F U Z Z Y and the number of arrangements would be = 5*4*3*2*1 =5! = 120 different arrangements


Case 2: If the letter Z is interchangeable

If the letter "Z" is interchangeable with the other "z" then we have 2 letters which cancel out each other that would be represented by 2*1 = 2! = 2

So, the number of arrangements in this case would be 5!/2! = 5*4*3*2*1/2*1 = 60 arrangements

At a high school 7 student volunteer for a committtee how many different 5 person committees can be chosen

Answers

Total number of volunteer students for a committee = 7
Number of committee = 5

Number of ways of selecting the committee from the 7 volunteers = 7C5 = 7!/(5!*2!) = 21 ways.

There are 21 ways in which the 5-committee member can be selected from the 7 volunteers.

Using the combination formula, 21 different 5-person committees can be chosen from a group of 7 students.

To determine how many different 5-person committees can be chosen from a group of 7 students, we use the concept of combinations, specifically the combination formula which is defined as:

C(n, k) = n! / [k! * (n - k)!]

where n is the total number of items to choose from, k is the number of items to choose, and the exclamation point represents a factorial, which is the product of all positive integers up to that number.

Applying this to the given problem, we have:

C(7, 5) = 7! / [5! * (7 - 5)!]

This simplifies to:

C(7, 5) = (7 * 6) / (2 * 1)

Therefore, C(7, 5) = 21.

There are 21 different 5-person committees that can be formed from 7 students.

Result:

   Work done to move an object [tex]=23.15 \text { foot pounds }[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]W = 25.617\,lbf\cdot ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done to move the object is:

[tex]W = F \cdot s \cdot \cos \alpha[/tex]

The angle of the force with respect to change in the position vector is:

[tex]\alpha = \tan^{-1}\left(-\frac{7}{6} \right) - \tan^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{3} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\alpha \approx 18.415^{\textdegree}[/tex]

The magnitude of the work done is:

[tex]W = (3\,lbf)\cdot (9\,ft)\cdot \cos 18.415^{\textdegree}[/tex]

[tex]W = 25.617\,lbf\cdot ft[/tex]

Jake is younger than Sophie. Sophie is 14 years old. Write an inequality that compares Jake's age in years, (j), to Sophie's age.

Answers

Final answer:

To express that Jake is younger than Sophie who is 14, we use the inequality j < 14, where j symbolizes Jake's age in years.

Explanation:

The question is asking for an inequality that represents Jake's age compared to Sophie's age. Since we are told that Jake is younger than Sophie and Sophie is 14 years old, we can use an inequality symbol to express this relationship. The appropriate inequality is j < 14, where j represents Jake's age in years. The symbol < means 'less than,' which correctly compares Jake's age to Sophie's, indicating that Jake's age is less than 14 years.

Explain how you would find 90% of 120.

Answers

Our trick here is to think that a fraction in %

land is the same as the correspondent in "number" land; so we can write:
100%
90%
= 120x
Where X is the correspondent of 90% in numbers.
Rearranging: x = 120⋅
90% 100% =108
If 120 = 100% then how much of it is 90%?

To find out you will have to multiply 90 with 120 and then divide what you get with 100.

90 x 120 = 10800

10800/100 = 108

so 90% of 120 is 108.

Huge, green mounds sprout up from the grassy earth. The impressive mounds give visitors a feeling of mystery. The Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site in Georgia is one of the most well preserved examples of Native American society in the United States. This historic site is 54 acres of what was once a Native American town. The Mounds3The Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site, located near the Etowah River, has six mounds. Three of the moundscalled A, B, and Care the most famous features of the site. Native Americans built the mounds beside two, open plazas. The mounds have four sides and flat tops. Native Americans used steps to get to the tops of the mounds. They also built a ditch that served as a protective barrier around the mounds. Native Americans built the mounds for several reasons. They used the mounds as platforms for building, burial grounds, and areas for religious activities. The main mounds served as the center of the town. The other members of the town lived scattered for many miles around the mounds. Scientific Research5Scientists who study ancient cultures discovered much information about the mounds. They believe that Mound A at Etowah was reserved for the chief of the area. The chief of the town had his home on the mound. The other citizens of the town lived around this mound. The closer a person lived to Mound A, the more significant he or she was in the society. Mound A reaches about 60 feet high. It is also more than 300 square feet wide at its base. Some scientists believe that every time a chief died, a new layer was added to mound. Then, a new house was built on the top. 6The only Etowah mound to be fully dug up and researched is Mound C. Mound C was used as a burial mound. Inside Mound C, scientists found jewelry, clothing, and other important relics. Mississippian Culture7The Etowah Indian Mounds are remnants of an interesting society. The builders of these mounds were part of the Mississippian culture. This group of Native Americans lived in parts of North America from 800 A.D. until the arrival of European explorers. People of the Mississippian culture built these mounds between 1000 B.C. and 1550 A.D.8The Mississippians living in and around Georgia first encountered European explorers in the 1500s. Unfortunately, the Native Americans were not protected against the ailments brought by these strangers. Illness put the already-declining population on dangerous ground. In time, the populations got much smaller. Later, some of the remaining members of the Mississippian culture formed the Creek and Cherokee tribes. The Mounds TodayThe Etowah mounds give scientists a wonderful view of life in America before recorded history. The state of Georgia currently owns the historic site, which many visitors enjoy each year. Future research at the mounds may uncover even more information about American history.Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:16) Why did the author MOST LIKELY write this passage?A)to explain how to build earthen moundsB)to tell about an important historic siteC)to describe the life of the Cherokee tribeD)to relate how to find interesting artifacts17) The purpose of this passage isA)to teach about early European explorers.B)to describe a historic site and its builders.C)to tell which places to visit in North America.D)to explain how to build and preserve ancient artifacts.18) The primary point of view of the author is that ofA)a mound-builder seeking a safe location.B)a student of the past speaking in our time.C)an early European settler looking for land.D)a Mississippian tribal member faced with extinction.
