An isosceles triangle is shown below with side lengths of 12 and a base length of 20. If a line segment AD is drawn from A to side overline BC such that D lies on overline BC and overline AD perp overline BC then find the length of overline AD in simplest radical form.

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?

Asailor is looking at a kite. if he is looking at the kite at an angle of elevation of 36and the distance from the boat to the point where the kite is directly overhead is 40 feet, how high is the kite?

Which of the points a(6, 2), b(0, 0), c(3, 2), d(−12, 8), e(−12, −8) belong to the graph of direct variation y= 2/3 x?
