Answer:

∠AEB = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding x

∠AEB = ∠DEC (Vertically opposite angles)
7x - 5 = 2(4x - 8)
7x - 5 = 8x - 16
8x - 7x = -5 + 16
x = 11

Finding ∠AEB

7x - 5
7(11) - 5
77 - 5
∠AEB = 72°

One leg of a right triangle is 7 inches longer than the smaller leg and the hypotenuse is 8 inches longer than the smaller leg.

Makovka662 [10]

Smaller leg = x
longer leg = y
hypotenuse = z

y=x+7
z=x+8

due to
${z}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} \\ (x + 8) ^{2} = {x}^{2} + (x + 7) ^{2} \\ {x}^{2} + 16x + 64 = {x}^{2} + {x}^{2} + 14x + 49 \\ {x}^{2} + 16x + 64 = 2 {x}^{2} + 14x + 49 \\ {x}^{2} - 2 {x}^{2} + 16x - 14x + 64 - 49 = 0 \\ - {x}^{2} + 2x + 15 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 2x - 15 = 0 \: \: (multiplied \: by \: - 1) \\ (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0 \\ then \: \: x = 5 \: \: or \: \: x = - 3$
but x cannot be -3
so smaller leg is 5 inches

then longer leg = 5+7 = 12 inches
and hypotenuse = 5+8 = 13 inches

Mariana [72]

A medical researcher wants to investigate the amount of time it takes for patients' headache pain to be relieved after taking a new prescription painkiller. She plans to use statistical methods to estimate the mean of the population of relief times. She believes that the population is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 18 minutes. How large a sample should she take to estimate the mean time to within 4 minutes with 97% confidence?
-----
n = [z*s/E]^2

n = [2.17*18/4]^2 = 96 when rounded up
