Step 1

In the right triangle ADB

<u>Find the length of the segment AB</u>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^{2} =AD^{2}+BD^{2}

we have

AD=5\ units\\BD=12\ units

substitute the values

AB^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}

AB^{2}=169

AB=13\ units

Step 2

In the right triangle ADB

<u>Find the cosine of the angle BAD</u>

we know that

cos(BAD)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{5}{13}

Step 3

In the right triangle ABC

<u>Find the length of the segment AC</u>

we know that

cos(BAC)=cos (BAD)=\frac{5}{13}

cos(BAC)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AB}{AC}

\frac{5}{13}=\frac{AB}{AC}

\frac{5}{13}=\frac{13}{AC}

solve for AC

AC=(13*13)/5=33.8\ units

Step 4

<u>Find the length of the segment DC</u>

we know that

DC=AC-AD

we have

AC=33.8\ units

AD=5\ units

substitute the values

DC=33.8\ units-5\ units

DC=28.8\ units

Step 5

<u>Find the length of the segment BC</u>

In the right triangle BDC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}

we have

BD=12\ units\\DC=28.8\ units

substitute the values

BC^{2}=12^{2}+28.8^{2}

BC^{2}=973.44

BC=31.2\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

BC=31.2\ units

Martin was going to the market to buy apples. The price for apples is $3.50 times the number of apples bought plus one-dollar ta
boyakko [2]

A(n) = 3.50n + 1.00


Martin bought 3^3 apples or 27 apples.


Let n = 27


A(27) = 3.50(27) + 1.00


A(27) = $95.50

The distribution of the amount of money spent by students for textbooks in a semester is approximately normal in shape with a me
nadezda [96]
The answer is between $175 and $295. The standard deviation rule tells us that for distributions that have the normal shape, approximately 99.7% of the observations fall within 3 standard deviations of the mean. Indeed, 175 = 235 − 3 * 20 and 295 = 235 + 3 * 20 are exactly 3 standard deviations below and above the mean, respectively.

NNADVOKAT [17]
An outlier is a value that is much higher or lower than the rest of the data.
The answer here is .7 because all other values range from 3.1-5.8.
