You are visiting the Unisphere at Flushing Meadow Park in New York. To estimate the height of the stainless steel model of Earth, you place a mirror on the ground and stand where you can see the top of the model in the mirror. The Unisphere is 100 feet from the mirror and you are standing 4 feet from the mirror. If your height is 5.6 feet, what is the estimated height of the Unisphere? The diagram is not drawn to scale.

a. 140 feet
b. 22.4 feet
c. 2,240 feet
d. 71 feet

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of each circle with the formula a= Pi(r^2)

Area of circle with a radius of 4

a= Pi(4^2)

a= 16pi

Area of circle with radius of 12

a= Pi(12^2)

a= 144pi

Now use these values to represent the areas of the circles as a ratio

16pi/ 144pi

The pi's cancel out in this ratio

So we are left with

16/144

We can then go ahead and simplify these numbers as well to get the ratio in the simplest form

Answer:

-5u^3 - 5u^2  + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

(u^3 + 3u^2 + 3) + (-6u^3 - 8u^2)

= u^3 + 3u^2 + 3 - 6u^3 - 8u^2

= u^3  - 6u^3 + 3u^2 - 8u^2 + 3

= -5u^3 - 5u^2  + 3.

Answer:

  C. 18:162

Step-by-step explanation:

Both B and C are the same scale factor, and both correctly express the ratio of the shorter height to the longer one.

The ratio of choice C is directly obtained from the figure, so is probably the best choice.

Answer:

There are 48 sweets altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio: 3:1:2

Stephen: 24 sweets

24/3 = 8

Fill in ratio.

24:8:16

24 + 8 + 16 = 48

Answer:

48 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephen : Gavin : Jim

3 : 1 : 2

We can say that this means the total amount of sweets get split between the 3 of them into 6 equal parts ( 3 + 1 + 2).

If Stephen gets 24 sweets, this means

3 parts = 24

So to find 1 part, divide 24 by 3.

1 part = 8 sweets

Now we can find the total by multiplying this by 6.

6 parts = 8 x 6 = 48 sweets.

Linear pairs are supplementary

==========================================================

Explanation:

The x+3 means "move right 3". We add 3 to whatever the x coordinate is.

For example, the point (1,7) becomes (4,7) after adding 3 to the x coordinate. That visually shifts the point 3 units to the right.

Similarly, subtracting 5 from the y coordinate will shift the point 5 units down. That's what the y-5 is referring to. Example: (10, 12) moves to (10, 7).

----------------

Extra info:

We can write the translation rule as [tex](x,y) \to (x+3, y-5)[/tex]

With this notation, we can then say something like this for example

[tex](x,y) \to (x+3, y-5)\\\\(6,8) \to (6+3, 8-5)\\\\(6,8) \to (9, 3)\\\\[/tex]

Showing that the point (6,8) moves to (9,3) after applying the rule "move right 3, down 5".  

Answer:

There is significant difference in difference in the amount of food ferns eat ; and the preferred is TAB-a-cat.

(0.216, 5.984)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 2 sample t test test problem :

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ1 = μ2

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2

x1 = 85.2 ; x2 = 82.1 ; n1 = 31 ; n2 = 30 ; s1 = 3.45 ; s2 = 4.62

The test statistic :

T = (x1 - x2) / √(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

T = (85.2 - 82.1) / √(3.45²/31 + 4.62²/30)

T = 3.1 / 1.0466

T = 2.96

Using the Pvalue from Tstatistic calculator :

df = smaller n - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29

Pvalue(2.96, 29) = 0.006075

α = 0.05

Pvalue < α ; We reject the Null and conclude that there is significant difference in difference in the amount of food ferns eat.

99% Confidence interval :

The test statistic :

(x1 - x2) ± Tcritical *√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

Tcritical at 99% = Tcritical(0.01, 29) = 2.756

(85.2 - 82.1) / 2.756*√(3.45²/31 + 4.62²/30)

3.1 ± 2.8844296

Lower boundary = (3.1 - 2.8844296) = 0.216

Upper boundary = (3.1 + 2.8844296) = 5.984

(0.216, 5.984)

Since interval does not contain 0, then, we reject the Null.

Answer: we need to survey 2285 Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

When population proportion (p) is known, then the formula to evaluate the sample size( minimum) is given by :-

[tex]n=p(1-p)(\frac{z^*}{E})^2[/tex], where E = margin of error , z* = critical z-value.

Given: p= 0.61, E=0.02, Critical z value for 95% = 1.96

Required sample size: [tex]n=(\frac{1.96}{0.02})^2(0.61)(1-0.61)[/tex]

[tex]=(98)^2(0.61)(0.39)\\\\=9604(0.61)(0.39)\\\\\approx$$2285[/tex]

Hence, we need to survey 2285 Americans.
