Answers

The answer choice which explains that the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle is; AC + CB < AB.

Which inequality explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle?

Since, It follows from the triangle inequalities theorem that sum of the side lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

Hence, since the sum of sides AC + CB is less than AB, it follows that the required inequality is; AC + CB < AB.

The area of the shaded part is 52 sq. inches. The correct option is b. 52 sq. inches

Calculating Area

From the question, we are to determine the area of the shaded part

In the given diagram, the shaded part is a rectangle

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Length of the shaded part = 18 inches - 4 inches - 1 inch = 13 inches

Width of the shaded part = 6 inches - 2inches = 4 inches

Then,

Area of the shaded part = 13 inches × 4 inches

Give the equation of the circle centered at the origin and passing through the point (0, -5).

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a circle centered at the origin is

x² + y² = r²

r being the radius (the distance of the center to every point on the circle's arc).

so, we get a point on the arc : (0, -5).

what is its distance to the origin ?

the origin is (0, 0).

we see, both points have the same x coordinates. they are therefore on the same vertical line going through x=0.

that means there is no distance between them in x direction.

the only distance is in y direction : 0 to -5.

a distance is always positive (no matter in what direction).

so, the distance from 0 to -5 is : 5 units.

that means r = 5.

and our equation is

x² + y² = 5² = 25

Tom's Sports Wear is a retailer of sports hats located in Atlanta, Georgia. Although Tom's carries numerous styles of sports hats, each hat has approximately the same price and invoice purchase cost, as shown below. Sales personnel receive large commissions to encourage them to be more aggressive in their sales efforts. Currently the economy of Atlanta is really humming, and sales growth at Tom's has been great. However, the business is very competitive, and Tom has relied on its knowledgeable and courteous staff to attract and retain customers, who otherwise might go to other sports wear stores. Also, because of the rapid growth in sales, Tom is finding it more difficult to manage certain aspects of the business, such as restocking of inventory and hiring and training new salespeople.

Sales price $ 31.00
Per-unit variable costs:
Invoice cost 17.05
Sales commissions 4.05
Total per-unit variable costs $ 21.10
Total annual fixed costs:
Advertising $ 23,100
Rent 28,200
Salaries 124,200
Total fixed costs $ 175,500

The annual breakeven point in unit sales is calculated to be:

Answers

The annual breakeven point is $550157

Given that the Sales price is $ 31.00, Per-unit variable costs: Invoice cost is 17.05, Sales commissions is 4.05, Total per-unit variable costs is $ 21.10, Total annual fixed costs: Advertising is $ 23,100, Rent is 28,200, Salaries is 124,200 and Total fixed costs is $ 175,500.

The break-even point is your total fixed cost divided by the difference between the unit price and the variable cost per unit.

The sales price is $31 and the total variable cost is $21.10.

Now, we will find the Contribution margin by subtracting the Total variable cost from the sales price, we get

Contribution margin= Sales price-Total sales price

Contribution margin=31-21.10

Contribution margin=9.9

Further, we will find the contribution margin ratio by dividing the contribution margin by Sales price, we get

contribution margin ratio=contribution margin/Sales price

contribution margin ratio=9.9/31

contribution margin ratio=0.319

contribution margin ratio=31.9%

Furthermore, we will find the break-even point, we get

Break-even point=Fixed cost/contribution margin

Break-even point=175500/9.9

Break-even point=17727.27

Now, we will find the break-even sales in dollars, we get

Break-even sales=Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio

Break-even sales=(175500/31.9)×100

Break-even sales=550157

Hence, the annual breakeven point in unit sales is calculated to be $550157.

Step-by-step explanation:

(2+5)/(2+3+5+6) = 7/16

The probability of either a yellow or a red ball being drawn if only one is drawn is 7/16.

What is probability?

The probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event to happen. It measures the certainty of the event. The formula for probability is given by; P(E) = Number of Favourable Outcomes/Number of total outcomes.

According to the given question.

Numnber of yellow balls = 2

Number of green balls = 3

Number of red balls = 5

Number of black balls = 6

So,

The total number of balls in a bag = 2+ 3+ 5 + 6 = 16

And,

The sum of yellow and red ball = 2 + 5 = 7

Therefore,

The probability of either a yellow or a red ball being drawn if only one ball is drawn

= [tex]\frac{total\ number\ of \ red \ and \ yellow\ balls }{Total\ number\ of \ balls}[/tex]

The average weight of the passengers of an airline has increased from 150 pounds in 2000 to 170 pounds in 2010. If an airline used to transport 270 passengers in a plane in 2000, and the total passenger weight is fixed, approximately how many passengers can travel with the same plane in 2010?

Answers

There are 238 passengers in the plane in 2010

How to determine the number of passengers?

The given parameters are:

Weight = 150 pounds and Passenger = 270 --- Year 2000

Weight = 170 pounds --- Year 2010

Represent the parameters using the following inverse proportion

Weight * Passenger= Fixed

So, we have:

150 * 270 = 170 * Passenger

Divide both sides by 170

150 * 270/170 = Passenger

Evaluate

238 = Passenger

Rewrite as

Passenger = 238
