Answer:

  • AH = 3.2
  • CH = 1.8
  • BH = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:  

It can be convenient to compute the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle (AC). The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

   AC^2 = AB^2 + CB^2

   AC^2 = 4^2 + 3^2 = 16 + 9 = 25

   AC = √25 = 5  

The altitude divides ∆ABC into similar triangles ∆AHB and ∆BHC. The scale factor for ∆AHB is ...

  scale factor ∆ABC to ∆AHB = AB/AC = 4/5 = 0.8  

And the scale factor to ∆BHC is ...  

  scale factor ∆ABC to ∆BHC = BC/AC = 3/5 = 0.6  

Then the side AH is 0.8·AB = 0.8·4 = 3.2

And the side CH is 0.6·BC = 0.6·3 = 1.8  

These two side lengths should add to the length AC = 5, and they do.  

The remaining side BH can be found from either scale factor:    

  BH = AB·0.6 = BC·0.8 = 4·0.6 = 3·0.8 = 2.4

_____  

The sides of interest are ...  

  AH = 3.2

  CH = 1.8

  BH = 2.4

WILL MARK THE BRAINLEIST Find the surface of the rectangle prism ,show all of your work
trapecia [35]
The answer is 108 as your surface area.

Work:
To find surface area, you find the area of each side and add it all together. For the bottom and the top sides, it’s 6 x 3 which equals to 18. 18 + 18 = 36. Then, 3 x 4 = 12. 12 + 12 = 24. 6 x 4 = 24. 24 + 24 = 48. Then, you add it all together which equals to 108. If what I did doesn’t makes sense, I’ll explain it more detailed here.

So, I found the area of the bottom side and multiplied it by 2 to represent the top and bottom sides. Then, I did the same thing for the other sides if that makes sense. I’m really sorry if I’m not explaining it well. I’m better at doing the work in my head and not on paper or explaining it to other people.

Anyway, hope this helps!

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

each movie costs $2.75, each video game costs $6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

x = movies, y = video games

7x + 9y = 80

5x + 3y = 34

simplified to

x = 11/4 , y = 27/4

A recent survey of 128 high school students indicated the following information about release times from school. -35 percent wan
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The interval is for those that want to get out earlier is between 43 student to 47 students

The interval is for those that want to get out later is between 48 student to 50 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

sample size n=128

Probability of those  that want to get out earlier = 0.35.

The mean  =  n × probability = 0.35 × 128 = 44.8 ≈ 45

Margin of error = 4% = 0.04 × 44.8 = 1.79 ≈ 2

Therefore the interval = mean ± Margin of error = 45 ± 2 = (43, 47)

The interval is for those that want to get out earlier is between 43 student to 47 students

Probability of those  that want to get out later = 0.39.

The mean  =  n × probability = 0.39 × 128 = 49.92 ≈ 50

Margin of error = 4% = 0.04 × 50 =  2

Therefore the interval = mean ± Margin of error = 50 ± 2 = (48, 52)

The interval is for those that want to get out later is between 48 student to 50 students

the group that wants to get out of school earlier to win after all the votes are counted if those that have no opinion decide that they want to go earlier
