In the right triangle given, the length of UT using the Pythagorean theorem is: UT = 15.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

Pythagorean theorem is given as: c² = a² + b², where a and b are the legs of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle).

Given:

c = TV = 17

a = UT = ?

b = UV = 8

Plug in the values

17² = UT² + 8²

UT = √(17² - 8²)

UT = 15.

Thus, in the right triangle given, the length of UT using the Pythagorean theorem is: UT = 15.

Someone help please!

Answer:

BC ≈ 14.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine rule in Δ ABC

$\frac{AB}{sinC}$ = $\frac{BC}{sinA}$

To find ∠ A subtract the 2 given angles from 180°

∠ A = 180° - (90 + 28)° = 180° - 118° = 62°

Then

$\frac{7.8}{sin28}$ = $\frac{BC}{sin62}$ ( cross- multiply )

BC × sin28° = 7.8 × sin62° ( divide both sides by sin28° )

BC = $\frac{7.8sin62}{sin28}$ ≈ 14.7 m ( to 3 significant figures )

What is the length of BC , rounded to the nearest tenth?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Step $1$

In the right triangle ADB

Find the length of the segment AB

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AB^{2} =AD^{2}+BD^{2}$

we have

$AD=5\ units\\BD=12\ units$

substitute the values

$AB^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}$

$AB^{2}=169$

$AB=13\ units$

Step $2$

In the right triangle ADB

Find the cosine of the angle BAD

we know that

$cos(BAD)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{5}{13}$

Step $3$

In the right triangle ABC

Find the length of the segment AC

we know that

$cos(BAC)=cos (BAD)=\frac{5}{13}$

$cos(BAC)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AB}{AC}$

$\frac{5}{13}=\frac{AB}{AC}$

$\frac{5}{13}=\frac{13}{AC}$

solve for AC

$AC=(13*13)/5=33.8\ units$

Step $4$

Find the length of the segment DC

we know that

$DC=AC-AD$

we have

$AC=33.8\ units$

$AD=5\ units$

substitute the values

$DC=33.8\ units-5\ units$

$DC=28.8\ units$

Step $5$

Find the length of the segment BC

In the right triangle BDC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}$

we have

$BD=12\ units\\DC=28.8\ units$

substitute the values

$BC^{2}=12^{2}+28.8^{2}$

$BC^{2}=973.44$

$BC=31.2\ units$

therefore

the answer is

$BC=31.2\ units$

A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 15.4 inches, and standard deviation of

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
