A recycling truck begins its weekly route at the recycling plant at point A, as pictured on the coordinate plane below. It trave

ls from point A to point B, then points C, D, and E, respectively, before returning to the recycling plant at point A at the end of the day. The truck’s route is illustrated on the coordinate plane below. If each unit on the coordinate plane represents one mile, what is the total distance the truck travels on its route?
A. 41

B. 38

C. 13

D. 5

(The picture of the graph should be there, I apologize if it isn't clear enough. Also, please explain the answer in detail, I want to try to understand it so when I approach a problem like this, I will know what to do)

Response:

  • B. 38

Detailed explanation:

  • Apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine line distances

The shape formed by the route exhibits symmetry, and

  • BC = EA
  • CD= DE

The total distance calculates as the perimeter of the polygon

1. AB is a horizontal line, measuring 2 units (from -1 to 1)

  • 1 - (-1) = 2 miles

2. BC = √((5-1)²+(2 -(-1))²) = √(16 + 9) = √25 = 5 miles

  • EA = BC = 5 miles

3. CD = √(13-2)² + (5-1)²) = √121 + 16 = √137 = 11.7 miles

  • DE = CD = 11.7 miles

Overall

  • 2 + 5*2 + 11.7*2 = 35.4 miles

The closest option is option B

A food truck operator has traditionally sold 75 bowls of noodle soup each day. He moves to a new location and after a week sees
lawyer [4039]

Answer:

The p-value for this test is 0.031. It should be interpreted as "There is a 96.9% likelihood that the actual average of soup sales at the new site exceeds 75 bowls it daily"

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value"In hypothesis testing, the p-value, or probability value, represents the likelihood of obtaining test outcomes at least as extreme as the observed results, given that the null hypothesis holds true"

Find the distance across the lake. Assume the triangles are similar.
Zina [3917]

Response:

B. 255 m

Detailed breakdown:

utilize similar triangles

L / 60 = 85 / 20

L = (85 * 60) / 20

L = 255 m

If SA=1/2lp+B, find p<br><br> What is the formula for finding p?
Svet_ta [4341]
<span>To isolate p, start by subtracting B from both sides: SA-B=1/2lp. Next, multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the 1/2: 2SA=lp. Finally, divide both sides by l to derive p: (2SA)/l=p.</span>

Hailey paid \$13$13dollar sign, 13 for 1\dfrac3{7} \text{ kg}1 7 3 ​ kg1, start fraction, 3, divided by, 7, end fraction, start
Zina [3917]

Answer:

The price per kilogram of salami amounts to = $9.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hailey spent $13 on 1\frac{3}{7} kg of sliced salami.

We need to determine the cost per kg of the salami.

Solution:

We will use the unitary method to find the cost for one kilogram of salami.

If 1\frac{3}{7} kg of salami costs $13

Then the cost for 1 kg of salami in dollars = 13\div 1\frac{3}{7}

When dividing mixed numbers, we convert them to fractions.

⇒ 13\div \frac{(7\times1)+3}{7}

⇒ 13\div \frac{10}{7}

To divide fractions, we take the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply.

⇒ 13\times \frac{7}{10}

⇒ \frac{13\times7}{10}

⇒ \frac{91}{10}

⇒ 9.1

Hence, the cost per kilogram of salami is = $9.1
