(03.02 MC) The figure shows the location of three points around a lake. The length of the lake, BC, is also shown. (The figure is not drawn to scale.) A 6 mi 2 mi 00 B С Which of the following choices is closest to the distance (in miles) between points A and B?

9514 1404 393

  (b)  5.66 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need to eliminate the unreasonable answers to make the correct choice.

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is its longest side, so the unknown length must be less than 6. That eliminates the last two choices.

The unknown length cannot be less than the difference of the sides shown, so the unknown length must be more than 4. That eliminates the first choice.

The only reasonable choice is ...

  B.  5.66 miles

If you like, you can calculate the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.

  AB² + 2² = 6²

  AB = √(36 -4) = √32 ≈ 5.66 . . . miles

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
