You could choose the following points:

A(1, 0), B(11, 0) and C(1, 10)

Then length AB is 11-1 = 10; length AC is 10-0 = 10, and length AC is found from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...

... √(10²+10²) = √200 = 10√2

The perimeter fence will have length 10 + 10 + 10√2 ≈ 34.14 units

(8,y) and (-2,4);slope =-1/5
Ivan

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m and equate to - \frac{1}{5}

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, y)

m = \frac{y-4}{8+2} , that is

m = \frac{y-4}{10} = - \frac{1}{5}

Multiply both sides by 10 to clear the fractions

y - 4 = - 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

y = 2

The distribution of the amount of money spent by first-time gamblers at a major casino in Las Vegas is approximately normal in s
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

$720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Mean, m = 600

Standard deviation, s = 120

Z = (x - m) / s

P(Z > x) = 84%

P(Z > x) = 0.84

Zscore corresponding to P(Z > x) = 0.84 will be -0.994

Hence,

-0.994 = (x - 600) / 120

120 * -0.994 = x - 600

119.28 = x - 600

119.28 + 600 = x

719.28 = x

Hence,

X = $720

A baseball player has made 32 free throws in 45 attempts for current success rate of 71%. How many consecutive free throws must
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: The player need to make 2 consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of extra consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75% be 'x'.

Number of free throws already taken = 32

Number of attempts = 45

According to question, it becomes,

\dfrac{32+x}{45}=0.75\\32+x=45\times 0.75\\\\32+x=33.75\\\\x=33.75-32\\\\x=1.75

Hence, the player need to make 2 consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75%.

Given triangle abc with vertices A(2,-1), B(5,6), C(-1,4) as shown. Find the number of square units in the area of triangle abs
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The area of the triangle is 18 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the lengths of segments AB, BC and AC by Pythagorean Theorem:

AB

AB = \sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+[6-(-1)]^{2}}

AB \approx 7.616

BC

BC = \sqrt{(-1-5)^{2}+(4-6)^{2}}

BC \approx 6.325

AC

AC = \sqrt{(-1-2)^{2}+[4-(-1)]^{2}}

AC \approx 5.831

Now we determine the area of the triangle by Heron's formula:

A = \sqrt{s\cdot (s-AB)\cdot (s-BC)\cdot (s-AC)} (1)

s = \frac{AB+BC + AC}{2} (2)

Where:

A - Area of the triangle.

s - Semiparameter.

If we know that AB \approx 7.616, BC \approx 6.325 and AC \approx 5.831, then the area of the triangle is:

s \approx 9.886

A = 18

The area of the triangle is 18 square units.
