Step-by-step explanation:

sin(x/2) = sqrt((1 - cos(x))/2)

cos(x/2) = sqrt((1 + cos(x))/2)

tan(x/2) = sin(x/2)/cos(x/2)

sin(x) = 15/17

so, we can assume the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle is 17, the vertical leg is 15.

via Pythagoras we get the 3rd, horizontal side :

17² = 15² + side²

289 = 225 + side²

64 = side²

side = 8

cos(x) = 8/17

sin(x/2) = sqrt((1 - 8/17)/2) = sqrt(9/34) = 3/sqrt(34) =

= 0.514495755...

cos(x/2) = sqrt((1 + 8/17)/2) = sqrt(25/34) = 5/sqrt(34) =

= 0.857492926...

tan(x/2) = 3/sqrt(34) / 5/sqrt(34) = 3/sqrt(34) × sqrt(34)/5 =

= 3/5 = 0.6

Length of the median CP

ehidna [41]

Given:

ΔABC $\sim$ ΔDEF

To find:

The length of median CP

Solution:

In ΔABC,

AP = 12, BP = 12 and PC = 3x - 12

In ΔDEF,

DQ = 16, QE = 16 and FQ = 2x + 8

If two triangles are similar, then their median is proportional to the corresponding sides.

$$\Rightarrow \frac{AP}{DQ} =\frac{PC}{FQ}$

$$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{16} =\frac{3x-12}{2x+8}$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow 12(2x+8)=16(3x-12)$

$$\Rightarrow 24x+96=48x-192$

Add 192 on both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 24x+96+192=48x-192+192$

$$\Rightarrow 24x+288=48x$

Subtract 24x from both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 24x+288- 24x=48x- 24x$

$$\Rightarrow 288=24x$

Divide by 24 on both sides.

⇒ 12 = x

Substitute x = 12 in CP.

CP = 3(12) - 12

= 36 - 12

= 24

The length of median CP is 24.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The value of t test statistics is -2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 402 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is under filling the bags.

A 25 bag sample had a mean of 393 grams with a standard deviation of 20.

Let $\mu$ = mean filling of bags by the machine.
