The moon forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun during one of its phases, as shown below.

A scientist measures the angle x and the distance y between the Earth and the Sun. Using complete sentences, explain how the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the moon and
the Sun.

45 Points! The Moon Forms A Right Triangle With The Earth And The Sun During One Of Its Phases, As Shown

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

by using pythagoras theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance between sun and moon is hypoteneous

the distance between earth and sun is perpndicular

and distance between earth and moon is base

we can use,

tanx°=distance betwwen earth and sun/ distance betweenearth and moon

or,

sinx°= distance between earth and sun/ distance between sun and moon

we can use other formulas also same as above 2 examples

Hope ithelps

Answer 2

Answer:

The scientist can use trigonometry to figure out the distance between the Moon and Sun. More specifically, using sine (sin).

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the triangle first.

- x should be theta

- y would be opposite (o) as it is across/opposite from the side where x is

- the distance between the sun and moon would be hypotenuse (h), as it's opposite of the right angle.

The calculation that has o and h in it's formula is sine. The formula looks like :

Sin(Ф) = [tex]\frac{o}{h}[/tex]

To solve for the distance between the Sun and Moon, we plug it into the formula and solve

Sin(x) = [tex]\frac{d}{y}[/tex]

- where d is the distance between the Sun and Moon

hope this helps !! :D

A: Wilma made a mistake in step 2. Instead of dividing by 12, she should have divided by 24. She should budget $170 per month for fuel expenses.

Answers

The mistake is made in the second step. The correct steps are given below.

What is Algebra?

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

Wilma estimates that she’ll drive about 18,000 miles during the year.

The car she wants to purchase gets an average of 24 miles per gallon, and the average cost per gallon of gas in her neighbourhood is $2.72.

Locate the error in her calculations, and select the correction.

Step - 1

18000 miles/year

18000 miles / 12 months = 1500 miles/month

Step 2

1500 miles/month

1500 miles/month / 24 miles per gallon = 62.5 gallons/month

62.5 gallons/month

Step 3

(62.5 gallons/month) x ($2.72/gallons) = $170 cost/month

Answers

The equation of the scatter plot is (a) y = 100x + 2

How to determine the equation of the scatterplot?

The line of best fit of the scatter plot passes through the points

(x,y) = (0,2) and (1,102)

Start by calculating the slope using:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{102 - 2}{1 - 0}[/tex]

m = 100

The equation is then calculated as:

y = m(x - x1) + y1

This gives

y = 100(x -0) + 2

Evaluate

y = 100x + 2

Hence, the equation of the scatter plot is (a) y = 100x + 2

Answer:

The height of the other book is 2 3/4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information,we get:

Two stacks of books together are = 7 1/2 inches tall.

One stack is given,that is = 4 3/4 inches.

To Find:

The height of the other.

Solution:

Let us assume that the other height of the book be x.

Then the equation will be:

[tex] 4\cfrac{3}{4} + x = 7\cfrac{1}{2} [/tex]

Solve for x to get the other book's height.

Convert the mixed fractions to fractions:

[tex] \implies \: \cfrac{19}{4 } + x = \cfrac{15}{2} [/tex]

Subtract 19/4 from both sides:

[tex] \implies \: x + \cfrac{19}{4} - \cfrac{19}{4} = \cfrac{15}{2} - \cfrac{19}{4} [/tex]

[tex] \implies \: x = \cfrac{11}{4} =\boxed{ 2 \cfrac{3}{4} \rm \: inches}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude that:

The height of the other book is 2 3/4 inches.

Two balls are drawn without replacement from a box containing 2black and 3 red balls. What is the probability of drawing a black ball on the second draw? Draw a tree diagram

Answers

The probability that the second ball drawn is black is 4/10 = 2/5

How to find the probability?

There are two cases. The case where the first ball is red is the first one.

The probability of drawing a red ball is equal to the quotient between the number of red balls and the total number of balls.

p = 3/5

Then, the probability of drawing a black ball in the second attempt is computed in the same way, but because we already drew a ball, now the total number of balls is 4, so we have:

q = 2/4 = 1/2.

So the joint probability is:

P = (3/5)*(1/2) = 3/10.

Then we have the case where both balls are black, the probabilities now are:

p = 2/5

q = 1/4

So the joint probability is:

P = (2/5)*(1/4) = 1/10

The total probability is the sum of the two above:

probability = 3/10 + 1/10 = 4/10.

The probability that the second ball drawn is black is 4/10 = 2/5

The height of female students in Cromartie High is normally distributed. If 95% of females are
between 57.6 and 70.4 inches tall centered about the mean, find the average height and standard
deviation for female students at Cromartie High.

Answers

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that the mean is of 64 inches and the standard deviation is of 3.2 inches.

What does the Empirical Rule state?

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The normal distribution is symmetric, hence the mean is given by:

M = (57.6 + 70.4)/2 = 64.

57.6 is two standard deviations below the mean, hence the standard deviation is found as follows:

57.6 = 64 - 2s.

2s = 6.4

s = 3.2.
