We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b =  legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse

Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 +   S^2+4S+4  = 100 cm^2   [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S =  100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0   means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or                                   (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm

kap26 [50]

Answer:

B) At alpha = 0.01, there is insufficient evidence to conclude the true mean wind speed at the site exceeds 25 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean above 25.

We are using the t-distribution, with test statistic t = 1.25 and 43 - 1 = 42 degrees of freedom. This probability is a right-tailed test.

With the help of a calculator, this p-value is of 0.1091.

Since the p-value of the test is 0.1091 > 0.01, at \alpha = 0.01 there is insufficient evidence to conclude the true mean wind speed at the site exceeds 25 mph, and the correct answer is given by option B.

A small radio transmitter broadcasts in a 63 mile radius. If you drive along a straight line from a city 38 miles north of the t
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A signal from the transmitter will be picked up through out the 57.38 mile drive

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the transmitter = 63 miles

Therefore, since both the location 38 miles north and the location 43 miles east of the transmitter are within the the radius, the transmission of the transmitter will be received through out the straight line journey

The length of the travel path is given by;

Distance from 38 miles north of the transmitter to distance of 43 miles east of transmitter = \sqrt{38^2+43^2}  = 57.38 \, miles.

Pls help idk how to do this<br><br>''solve for the angle with Trig''<br><br>Solve for 0​
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

  • The angle Ф = 24.15°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to determine the angle Ф

Given the triangle, we can determine that

sin Ф = opposite / hypotenuse

Here,

  • The opposite of Ф = 18
  • The hypotenuse = 44

so

sin Ф = opposite / hypotenuse

\theta \:=sin^{-1}\left(\frac{18}{44}\right)

\theta \:=sin^{-1}\left(0.41\right)

\:\theta \:=24.15^{\circ }

Thus,

  • The angle Ф = 24.15°
