You can make a tent by throwing a piece of cloth over a clothesline, then securing the edge to the ground with stakes so that an

isosceles triangle is formed. How long would the cloth have to be so that the opening of the tent was 8 feet wide and 3 feet high?

Based on the required width and height of the tent, the length of the cloth would have to be 14.4 ft.

<h3>How long should the length of the cloth be?</h3>

The opening of the tent would be an isosceles triangle but if it is divided in two from the top, a right-angled triangle will be formed and the hypotenuse will be the length of the cloth on one side.

That length - according to the Pythagoras theorem - would be:

= √(6² + (8 /2)²)

= √(36 + 16)

= 7.2 ft

As this is the length of one side of the cloth, the length of the entire cloth is:

= 7.2 x 2

= 14.4 ft

The pitch of a roof is its slope. The roof of a home rises vertically a distance of 8 ft through a horizontal distance of 15 ft.
PIT_PIT [208]
If we discuss this as if it is a triangle then the "rise" is the vertical side and the "run" is the adjacent side.
So the ratio of the rise to the run is 8 / 15 which equals <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333 </span> </span> </span>
To find the angle of this roof pitch we look up the arc tangent of <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333  </span> </span> </span> and we find that is 28.072 Degrees

A trimming operation at a local manufacturer produces rods whose length conforms to unifrom distribution with a minimum of 18cm
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The probability that randomly selected road will be at least 25.8 cm long will be 48%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: uniform distribution with min and max values of 18 and 33 respectively.

To find : probability density for upper cumulative frequency i.e 25.8 at least means x\geq25.8  upto 33 cm i.e the maximum limit of function.

Solution:

we have by definition , of uniform distribution

we get , probability density function defines as :

<em>F(x,a,b)= </em>\frac{1}{b-a}<em>   </em>a\leq x\leq b

            =1/(33-18)=1/15=0.0667.

this is probability density function.

here the x=25.8 , a=18 and b=33

for lower cumulative frequency it defines as ;

P(x,a,b)=\frac{x-a}{b-a} =25.8-18/33-18=0.52

for upper cumulative frequency it defines as ;

Q(x,a,b)=b-x/b-a=33-25.8/33-18=0.48

here at least 25.8 cm probability means it should be greater than a value(18cm) hence it is provided by the upper cumulative frequency

i.e. Q(x,a,b)=0.48

The probability that randomly selected road will be at least 25.8 cm long will be 48%.

In which step did Viet make an error?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When moving the 4 to the other side, Viet was supposed to subtract 4 from each side, leaving 0 on the left, and 102-4 on the other side. 102-4=98, not 106. Viet added when he was supposed to subtract.

Two companies Company A and Company B offer the same starting salary of $20,000 per year. Company A gives a raise of $1000 each
Bingel [31]
A.) A = 20000 + 1000n
B = 20000(1.04)^n

b.) For A, sn = n/2(2a + (n - 1)d)
s20 = 20/2(2(20000) + 1000(20 - 1)) = 10(40000 + 19(1000)) = 10(40000 + 19000) = 10(59000) = $590,000
For B, sn = a(r^n - 1)/(r - 1)
s20 = 20000((1.04)^20 - 1)/(1.04 - 1) = 20000(2.191 - 1)/0.04 = 20000(1.191)/0.04 = 23822.46 / 0.04 = $595,561.57

c.) Using a graphing calculator, it takes 18 years for the
<span>total amount earned a company B is greater that the total amount of earned at company A.</span>
