In 8, 9, 10, all the triangles are similar, meaning corresponding sides have the same ratio.
8. hypotenuse / (short side) = 25/x = x/9
x² = 25*9 = 5²×3²
x = √(5²×3²) = 5*3 = 15
9. (long side) / (short side) = x/7 = 9/x
x² = 7*9
x = √(9*7) = 3√7
10. (short side) / (long side) = x/48 = 48/64
x = 48²/64 = 36
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) the triangle is a right angle triangle.
From the given right angle triangle,
With 67° as the reference angle,
x represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
17 represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the Tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.
Therefore,
Tan 67 = 17/x
xTan 67 = 17
x = 17/Tan 67
x = 17/2.3559
x = 7.22
2) From the given right angle triangle, with 24° as the reference angle,
x represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
12 represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the Tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.
Therefore,
Tan 24 = x/12
x = 12Tan 24
x = 12 × 0.4452
x = 5.34
Answer:
0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement
Step-by-step explanation:
For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they save nothing for retirement, or they save something. The probability of an adult saving nothing for retirement is independent of any other adult. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
20% of adults in the United States save nothing for retirement (CNBC website).
This means that 
Suppose that sixteen adults in the United States are selected randomly.
This means that 
What is the probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement?
This is:

In which






0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement
