Prove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the sum of the s

quares of the lengths of the legs of the triangle equals the squared length of the hypotenuse. Be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures.

For the answer to the question above asking to p<span>rove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, 
</span>A right triangle consists of two sides called the legs and one side called the hypotenuse (c²) . The hypotenuse (c²)<span> is the longest side and is opposite the right angle.

</span>⇒ α² + β² = c² 
<span>
"</span>In any right triangle ( 90° angle) <span>, the sum of the squared lengths of the two legs is equal to the squared length of the hypotenuse."
</span>
For example:  Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are 3 inches and 4 inches.  
c2 = a2+ b2
c2  = 32+ 42
c2 = 9+16
c2 = 15
c = sqrt25
c=5

How many weeks of data must be randomly sampled to estimate the mean weekly sales of a new line of athletic footwear? We want 98
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.33(1400)}{400})^2 =66.50 \approx 67

So the answer for this case would be n=67 rounded up

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean

\sigma=1400 represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =400 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 98% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And the critical value would be z_{\alpha/2}=2.33, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.33(1400)}{400})^2 =66.50 \approx 67

So the answer for this case would be n=67 rounded up

A study was done that looked at how much red meat people consumed and how long they lived. The correlation r was found to be 0.9
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the correlation r was found to be 0.98 (a value closer to 1).  

Let X =how much red meat people consumed

let Y = how long they lived.

where the x-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates X from Xₙ, their mean value and the y-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates Y from Yₙ, their mean value.

That is, x=(X−Xₙ) and y=(Y−Yₙ).

The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where;

+1 indicates perfect direct  correlation,

−1 indicates perfect inverse correlation and

0 indicates that no correlation exists.

Between these values, the smaller the value of r, the less is the amount of correlation which exists.

Generally, values of r in the ranges 0.7 to 1 and −0.7 to −1 show that a fair amount of correlation exists.

therefore, it can be seen that there is a perfect relationship between the quantity eaten and how long the person live

But, the correlation does not consider those that does not consume meat, and it is very hard to determined the answer to the question.

the answer is false because there are other reasons that determined longevity of life apart from meat consumption.
