Answer:

2)  32.2 in (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Pythagoras’ Theorem</u>

\sf a^2+b^2=c^2

(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)

Given:

  • a = 16 in
  • b = 28 in
  • c = hypotenuse

Substituting these values into the formula and solving for c:

\implies \sf 16^2+28^2=c^2

\implies \sf 256+784=c^2

\implies \sf c^2=1040

\implies \sf c=\pm\sqrt{1040}

\implies \sf c=\pm 32.2\:in\:(nearest\:tenth)

As distance is positive, c = 32.2 in (nearest tenth)

  • 32.2 inches. (Option 2)

Step-by-step explanation :

Here, A right angled triangle is given with the measure of two sides and we are to find the measure of the third side.

We'll find the measure of third side with the help of the Pythagorean theorem,

\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (Hypotenuse {)}^{2}= (Base) {}^{2} + (Perpendicular {)}^{2} }}} \\  \\

Here,

  • The base (BC) is 16 in

  • The perpendicular (AB) is 28 in

  • The hypotenuse is AC.

\:

So, substituting the values in the formula we get :

\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (AC {)}^{2}= (16) {}^{2} + (28 {)}^{2} }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (AC {)}^{2}=256 + 784 }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (AC {)}^{2}=1040 }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad AC = \sqrt{1040}  }}} \\ \\

{\longrightarrow \pmb{\frak {\qquad AC = 32.24  }}} \\ \\

Therefore,

  • The length of the hypotenuse (AC) is 32.2 in (Rounded to nearest tenth)

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

We can express that probability as P(V | W), the probability of V given W.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the chosen person works for the goverment, so we have to assume W as hypothesis. Therefore, in order to calculate the probability of that person voting on the election, event noted by V,  we have to <em>condition</em> V to the event W. As a result, we want the probability of V given W, which can be written as P(V | W), and it can be calculated using this formula

P(V | W) = P(V \cap W) / P(W)

First you need to find the percent equivalent to that of the ratio. The ratio is 3:5. From there you would take the 3, and divide it by 5. 3/5=0.6. Apply that to the information that you are given: 8(0.6)=4.8.
