The length of the base of a triangle is twice its height. If the area of the triangle is 64 square kilometers, find the height.

1 answer:

6 0

Area of a triangle = base x height / 2
64 = base x height / 2
(multiply 2 on both sides)
128 = base x height
then if base= 16 and height = 8 then 16 x 8 = 128
thus the base is 16 which is twice the height:8

Answer:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Properties of Logarithms</u>

We'll recall below the basic properties of logarithms:

$log_b(1) = 0$

Logarithm of the base:

$log_b(b) = 1$

Product rule:

$log_b(xy) = log_b(x) + log_b(y)$

Division rule:

$\displaystyle log_b(\frac{x}{y}) = log_b(x) - log_b(y)$

Power rule:

$log_b(x^n) = n\cdot log_b(x)$

Change of base:

$\displaystyle log_b(x) = \frac{ log_a(x)}{log_a(b)}$

Simplifying logarithms often requires the application of one or more of the above properties.

Simplify

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)$

Factoring $64=2^6$ .

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(2^6)$

Applying the power rule:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}(2)$

Since

$\displaystyle 2=(1/2)^{-1}$

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}((1/2)^{-1})$

Applying the power rule:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2})$

Applying the logarithm of the base:

$\mathbf{\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6}$

A sample of 13 sheets of cardstock is randomly selected and the following thicknesses are measured in millimeters. Give a point

<h3>Answer: 0.061</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Add up the values to get

1.96+1.81+1.97+1.83+1.87+1.84+1.85+1.94+1.96+1.81+1.86+1.95+1.89= 24.54

Then divide over 13 (the number of values) to get 24.54/13 = 1.8876923 which is approximate.

So the mean is approximately 1.8876923

---------------------

Now make a spreadsheet as shown below

We have the first column as the x values, which are the original numbers your teacher provided. The second column is of the form (x-M)^2, where M is the mean we computed earlier. We subtract off the mean and square the result.

After we compute that column of (x-M)^2 values, we add them up to get what is shown in the highlighted yellow cell at the bottom of the column.

That sum is approximately 0.04403076924

Next, we divide that over n-1 = 13-1 = 12

0.04403076924 /12 = 0.00366923077

That is the sample variance. Apply the square root to this to get the sample standard deviation. This is the point estimate of the population standard deviation. As the name implies, it works for samples that estimate population parameters.

sqrt(0.00366923077) = 0.06057417576822

This rounds to 0.061 which is the final answer.
