Answer:

87.73 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the dimensions of the rectangular doorway are,

Length = 6 ft 8 inches = 80 inches and Width = 3 feet = 36 inches.

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we will find the diagonal of the rectangular doorway.

i.e. hypotenuse^{2}=length^{2}+width^{2}

i.e. hypotenuse^{2}=80^{2}+36^{2}

i.e. hypotenuse^{2}=6400+1296

i.e. hypotenuse^{2}=7696

i.e. Hypotenuse = ±87.73 inches

Since, the length cannot be negative.

So, the length of the diagonal is 87.73 inches.

As, the largest side of a rectangle is represented by the diagonal.

So, the largest dimension that will fit through the doorway without bending is 87.73 inches.

Kamila [148]
The confidence interval is from 9.81 to 10.19.

We first find the mean of the data:

<span>(9.8+10.2+10.4+9.8+10.0+10.2+9.6)/7 = 10

Next we find the standard deviation:
</span>σ=√([<span>(9.8-10)^2+(10.2-10)^2+(10.4-10)^2+(9.8-10)^2+(10-10)^2+(10.2-10)^2+(9.6-10)^2]/7) = 0.262

The z-score for 95% confidence is found by
1-0.95 = 0.05; 0.05/2 = 0.025; from the z-table, it is 1.96.

The confidence interval is calculated using
</span>x\pm z\times (\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}})&#10;\\&#10;\\10 \pm 1.96(\frac{0.262}{\sqrt{7}})=10\pm 0.1941<span>

Write 19/25 as a terminating decimal
mariarad [96]
Terminating decimals firstly are decimals that finish... 
To transfer 19/25 to a decimal we have to get it out of 100. 
To do this, multiply 19 by 4, and 25 by 4. 
This gives you 76/100.
From here you can easily see the decimal is 0.76. 

= 0.76

During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 23 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her
abruzzese [7]

t (23) ≤ 97 - 23

The minus 23 at the back represents the feet she already descended before what the question wants us to calculate

≤ is used instead of < because it states more than, not "equal or more than" (meaning 97 sharp is fine)
