Answer:

A) 16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the ramp, we have to use the Pythagorean theorem.

Let's take x be the height of the ramp.

x = √(34^2 - 30^2)

x = √(1156 - 900)

x = √256

x = 16 in

Therefore, the height of the ramp 16 inches.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

Height = sqrt (34^2 - 30^2) ( using Pythagoras theorem)
= sqrt256 = 16 inches

The base of a triangle exceeds the height by 7 centimeters. If the area is 400 square centimeters, find the length of the base a

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Base = 32 cm

Height = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle can be calculated as:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}\times Base \times Height$

We are given that the base of triangle exceeds the height by 7 cm. This can be expressed in an equation form as:

Base = Height + 7

Lets use B to represent base and H to represent height

B = H + 7

The equation of area can be stated as:

$Area=\frac{1}{2}bh\\\\ Area=\frac{1}{2}(h+7)(h)\\\\ 400=\frac{1}{2}h(h+7)\\\\ 800=h^{2}+7h\\\\ h^{2}+7h-800=0$

This is a quadratic equation which can be solved using a quadratic equation as shown below:

$h=\frac{-7+-\sqrt{49-4(1)(-800)} }{2(1)} \\\\ h=\frac{-7+-57}{2}\\\\h=-32,25$

Since the height cannot be negative, we'll consider the positive value only i.e height is equal to 25 cm.

Therefore, the length of base will be 25 + 7 = 32 cm.

How do I factorise 42x-18

ikadub [295]

6 (7x - 3)

You have to factor 6 out of 42x - 18.

Hope this Helps!!

In an examination of purchasing patterns of shoppers, a sample of 16 shoppers revealed that they spent, on average, $54 per hour

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$54-1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=45.39$

$54 +1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=62.61$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (45.39;62.61)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=54$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=21$ represent the sample standard deviation

n=16 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
