At noon, ship A is 170 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 40 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 15 km/h. How fast (in km/hr) is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 p.m.? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Distance is the product of speed and time. The rate at which the distance between the ships changes at 4:00 p.m is 27.293 km/h.

What is the distance?

Distance is the product of speed and time. It is given by the function,

[tex]\rm Distance = Time \times speed[/tex]

Given at noon the distance between two ships is 170 km. Furter ship A is moving towards the east at a speed of 40 km/h, therefore, the distance covered by Ship A in 4 hours will be,

[tex]\rm \text{Distance covered by Ship A in 4 hours} = 4 \times 40 = 160\ km[/tex]

The distance covered by Ship B in 4 hours will be,

[tex]\rm \text{Distance covered by Ship B in 4 hours} = 4 \times 15= 60\ km[/tex]

At 4 pm the distance between the two ships is the hypotenuse of the red triangle as shown below,

[tex]\rm Hypotenuse = \sqrt{10^2 + 60^2} = \sqrt{100+3600 }= 60.827\ km[/tex]

The rate of change in the distance between the two ships can be written as,

[tex]\rm \text{Rate of change of distance} = \dfrac{170-60.827}{4} = 27.293\ km/h[/tex]

Hence, the rate at which the distance between the ships changes at 4:00 p.m is 27.293 km/h.

what is the slope of a line (0,2) (-1,-3)​

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the line is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the slope formula.

Slope Formula: y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Your coordinates: (0,2) and (-1, -3)

Do -3 - 2 / -1 - 0

This is because the -3 is your y2 and the 2 is your y1

**Same goes with x but different numbers since it is the x coordinates.**

Now, do -3 - 2 first.

The negatives turn into a positive meaning you have to add the two.

But the bigger number 3 is negative so, your answer should contain a negative.

-3 -2 = -5

Do -1 - 0

This should be an addition problem but contain a negative answer.

-1 -0 = -1

-5/-1 as final.

The negatives cancel, and 5/1 is 5

Your slope is 5.

Answer:

The slope of the line is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope(m) formula: [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

y₂ = -3

y₁ = 2

x₂ = -1

x₁ = 0

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\m=\frac{-3-2}{-1-0} \\\\m=\frac{-5}{-1}\\\\m=5[/tex]

The point of intersection of the diagonals of a rectangle is 4 cm further away from the smaller side than from the larger side of the rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to 56cm. Find the lengths of each side of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

smaller side: 10 cmlarger side: 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relationships can be translated to equations using L and W for the length and width of the rectangle. The distance from the center to the short side is L/2, and the distance from the center to the long side is W/2.

Setup

  P = 2(L +W) . . . . . formula for the perimeter

  56 = 2(L +W) . . . . . the perimeter is 56 cm

  L/2 = 4 + W/2 . . . . . distance to short side is 4 cm longer

__

Solution

Dividing the first equation by 2 gives ...

  28 = L +W

Multiplying the second equation by 2 gives ...

  L = 8 + W

Substituting for L in the first equation, we have ...

  28 = (8 +W) +W . . . . . . use L=8+W

  20 = 2W . . . . . . . . .subtract 8

  10 = W . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  L = 8 +10 = 18 . . . . . find the length

What is the probability that neither had traditional insurance?

Probability determines the chances that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.

The probability that neither of the two people selected have traditional insurance = (number of people that chose manage care plan + number of people who dont have any insurance) / total number of people surveryed x [(number of people that chose manage care plan + number of people who dont have any insurance) / total number of people surveryed - 1]

How do I find the area of the blue shape? Don't worry about the other colored one.

Answers

Answer:

80 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break down the composite shape into two parts. (Image attached)

Let "a" represent the area of the smaller square.Let "b" represent the area of the bigger square

⇒ The side length of "a" is 4 cm.

⇒ The side length of "b" is 8 cm.

First, let's find the area of square "a". Keep in mind that the area of a square is the side multiplied by itself.

⇒ (Side)² = A

⇒ (4)² = Area of "a"

⇒ (4)(4) = Area of "a"

⇒ 16 cm² = Area of "a"

Next, find the area of square "b". Keep in mind that the area of a square is the side multiplied by itself.

⇒ (Side)² = A

⇒ (8)² = Area of "b"

⇒ (8)(8) = Area of "b"

⇒ 64 cm² = Area of "b"

Finally, let's sum up the area of square "a" and "b" to find the area of the composite shape.

⇒ Area of composite shape = Area of "a" + Area of "b"

⇒ Area of composite shape = 16 + 64

Area of composite shape = 80 cm²

Find the area of the figure.

Answers

answer:

4.5m²

explanation:

1. find area of the circle

A(circle)=πr²

A=π(2.3²)

A=16.62m²

2. find area of the square

the diameter of a circle is twice its radius. when you multiply 2.3 by two, you get 4.6. since the circle reaches to the sides of the square, the diameter is also the length of a side on the square.

A(square)=s²

A=4.6²

A=21.16m²

3. subtract the two areas

to find the area of the shaded sector, we need to subtract the area of the circle from the area of the square.

A(shaded)=21.16-16.62

A=4.54097487m²

A truck carries a load of 50 boxes;some are 20kg boxes and the rest are 25kg boxes. if the total weight of all boxes is 1175 kg, how many of each type are there?​

Answers

given:

total number of boxes= 50

weight of all the boxes= 1175

some boxes= 25kg

and the rest= 20kg

to find:

how many of each type are there.

solution:

Let the number of the 20kg boxes = x

and the number of the 25kg boxes = (50-x)

so,

20×(x) + 25×(50-x)

= 1175

20x + 1250 - 25x

= 1175

- 5x = - 75 => x = (-75)/(-5)

= 15

(50–15)

= 35

therefore, 20 kg boxes are 15 and 25 kg boxes are 35.

Answers

Answer:

it will take approximately 6.32 annum(years) to reach $40000

Step-by-step explanation:

9.5% of $25000 = $2375

$40000 - $25000 = $15000 so you need to make an interest of $15000 overall to reach $40000

since you make $2375 each year therefore

$15000 ÷ $2375 will give you the number of years to reach $40000

hence 15000 ÷ 2375 = 6.315

approximately = 6.32 annum(years)

Jordan is especially interested in the concept of being presumed innocent until proven guilty. He is convinced that most jurors will form an initial opinion about whether or not the defendant is innocent or guilty from the first time they see the defendant. Jordan believes that initial impression can have a negative impact on the outcome of the case and plans to take that angle in the story he will be writing for the newspaper. To help Jordan determine if his theory is correct, youve decided to attend the trial with him and take on the role of a juror. You are determined to maintain an open mind and not form an initial impression of the defendants guilt or innocence.Answer the following questions using a total of 3-5 sentences each:How would you keep an open mind and truly presume the defendant is innocent at the start of the trial?Describe at least three things you could do to uphold the presumption of innocence as a juror is supposed to do. do you agree with the concept of a presidential pardon? what were pardons originally intended to do?
