We know that

Right triangles PBM and MTF are similar
because
angle PMB=angle TMF
and
angle BPM=angle FTM
and
angle B =angle F=90 degrees
so
corresponding sides are
BM and MF
PB and TF
PM and MT
(PB/TF)=BM/MF
solve for PB
PB=(TF*BM)/MF
where
TF=6ft
BM=20 ft
MF=3 ft
so
PB=(6*20)/3------> 40 ft

the answer is
<span>the height of the peak is 40 ft</span>

Use technology or a z-score table to answer the question.

Alik [6]

Answer:

The second choice: Approximately $65.2\%$ of the pretzel bags here will contain between 225 and 245 pretzels.

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation uses a z-score table where each $z$ entry has two decimal places.

Let $\mu$ represent the mean of a normal distribution of variable $X$ . Let $\sigma$ be the standard deviation of the distribution. The z-score for the observation $x$ would be:

$\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ .

In this question,

$\mu = 240$ .
$\sigma = 9.3$ .

Calculate the z-score for $x_1 = 225$ and $x_2 = 245$ . Keep in mind that each entry in the z-score table here has two decimal places. Hence, round the results below so that each contains at least two decimal places.

$\begin{aligned} z_1 &= \frac{x_1 - \mu}{\sigma} \\ &= \frac{225 - 240}{9.3} \approx -1.61\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} z_2 &= \frac{x_2 - \mu}{\sigma} \\ &= \frac{245 - 240}{9.3} \approx 0.54\end{aligned}$ .

The question is asking for the probability $P(225 \le X \le 245)$ (where $X$ is between two values.) In this case, that's the same as $P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54)$ .

Keep in mind that the probabilities on many z-table correspond to probability of $P(Z \le z)$ (where $Z$ is no greater than one value.) Therefore, apply the identity $P(z_1 \le Z \le z_2) = P(Z \le z_2) - P(Z \le z_1)$ to rewrite $P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54)$ as the difference between two probabilities:

$P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54) = P(Z \le 0.54) - P(Z \le -1.61)$ .

Look up the z-table for $P(Z \le 0.54)$ and $P(Z \le -1.61)$ :

$P(Z \le 0.54)\approx 0.70540$ .
$P(Z \le -1.61) \approx 0.05370$ .

$\begin{aligned}& P(225 \le X \le 245) \\ &= P\left(\frac{225 - 240}{9.3} \le Z \le \frac{245 - 240}{9.3}\right)\\&\approx P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54) \\ &= P(Z \le 0.54) - P(Z \le -1.61)\\ &\approx 0.70540 - 0.05370 \\& \approx 0.65.2 \\ &= 65.2\% \end{aligned}$ .

PLEASE GIVE ME AN ANSWER QUICKLY! Hiroshi spends 30 minutes on history homework , 60 minutes on English homework, and x minutes

natka813 [3]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

He spends:
30 mins on History
60 mins on English
x mins on math
so the total time he spends is $(TotalTime)minutes=(30+60+x)minutes$
one fourth of this is his math time, since x is math time, then we have $\frac{1}{4}(TotalTime)minutes=(x)minutes$
But we know what totaltime in minutes is so $\frac{1}{4}(30+60+x)minutes=(x)minutes$
or simply: $\frac{1}{4}(30+60+x)=x$
