You actually aren't supposed use to the Pythagorean Theorem. You are supposed to implement the trigonometry functions.

The angle, 60, is directly opposite with what you're trying to find, y. Also since you have another side of the triangle that is identified, you can figure what trig function to use. The line next to the angle is the adjacent. We have the adjacent and opposite. The trig function that implements both sides is the Tangent. The formula for it is tangent(angle) = opposite/adjacent.

Now substitute the number into the formula.

tan(60) = y / 5

We need to isolate y, so we times 5 and tan(60)

tan(60) x 5 = <span>8.66

y is now isolated and the answer is 8.66 = y</span>

lora16 [44]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines have angles that are equal to 180. Therefore, because we already have 140 of the 180 necessary, we can subtract 140 from 180 to get 40. 40 divided by 5 is 8.

Hope that this helps!

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

At 5% significance level, it is statistically evident that    there is nodifference in the proportion of college students who consider themselves overweight between the two poll                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a poll was taken this year asking college students if they considered themselves overweight. A similar poll was taken 5 years ago.

Let five years ago be group I X and as of now be group II Y

H_0: p_x =p_y\\H_a: p_x \neq p_y

(Two tailed test at 5% level of significance)

                Group I            Group II              combined p

n                  270                 300                         570

favor            120                  140                          260

p                   0.4444            0.4667                   0.4561

Std error   for differene = \sqrt{\frac{0.4561(1-0.4561)}{570} } \\=0.0209

p difference = -0.0223    

Z statistic = p diff/std error =       -1.066

p value =0.2864

Since p value >0.05, we accept null hypothesis.

        At 5% significance level, it is statistically evident that    there is nodifference in the proportion of college students who consider themselves overweight between the two poll
