The perimeter of the triangle = 60 cm

Solution:

The given triangle is a right triangle.

Base of the triangle = 15 cm

Hypotenuse = 25 cm

Let the unknown side of the triangle be x.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

<em>In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.</em>

x^2+15^2=25^2

x^2+225=625

Subtract 225 from both sides,

x^2=400

Taking square root on both sides, we get

x = 20

The unknown side of the triangle is 20 cm.

The perimeter of the triangle = Sum of the sides of the triangle

                                                 = 15 cm + 25 cm + 20 cm

                                                 = 60 cm

The perimeter of the triangle = 60 cm

WORTH 49 POINTS! How far away is -5 to |-5|?
diamong [38]

|-5| is equivalent to 5, since that is how far -5 is from 0.

So, the question is simplified to: How far away is -5 from 5?

We get 5-(-5)=10.


Remember, absolute value is always positive (expect for 0) and the distance between two numbers is always positive (expect for 0).

If five times the successor of a number is added to an original number the sum is 83
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Let the original number be x

Successor is defined as the number which comes immediately after a particular number.

also, the  successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to that number.

Then, the successor of a number x is, x+1

As per the given condition :

we have;

5(x+1)+x =83

Using distributive property on LHS (i.e, a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c )

Then, we have

5x+5+x=83

Combine like terms;

6x+5=83

Subtract 5 from both the sides we get;

6x+5-5=83-5

Simplify:

6x=78

Divide both side by 6,

\frac{6x}{6} =\frac{78}{6}

Simplify:

x =13

Therefore, the original number x is, 13

    5x³ + 8x² - 7x - 6

1)

x + 2 is a factor because when using synthetic division, the remainder is zero.

-2  |  5    8    -7    -6

    <u>|  ↓   -10    4     6 </u>

       5   -2    -3     0  ← remainder is zero

2)

x + 2 is not a factor because when using synthetic division, the remainder is not zero.

-1  |  5    8    -7    -6

    <u>|  ↓  -5    -3     10 </u>

       5   3    -10    4  ← remainder is not zero

A publisher reports that 76v% of their readers own a personal computer. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the p
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Null Hypothesis: 'The proportion of readers who own a personal computer is not 76%'

Alternative hypothesis: 'The proportion of readers who own a personal computer is not 76%', or it could also be stated as 'The proportion of readers who own a personal computer is less than 76%'

Step-by-step explanation:

A null hypothesis is an experimental statement that negates the existence of a relationship between two phenomena that are measured, or it is a statement that tells of no association between two experimental groups. The experimenter sets out to test the null hypothesis with a bid to disprove or accept the null hypothesis after subjecting experimental results through various confidence tests.

The null hypothesis is generally accepted to be true, unless it is proven otherwise, and it always comes from the point of negation between the associated phenomena. It is denoted commonly by the symbol 'H₀'.

The null hypothesis is analogous to the statement that ' a person is assumed to be innocent,  (null hypothesis is assumed to be true) unless proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt ' (and it is rejected only if the results show a statistically significant difference between what is measured and what is stated in the null hypothesis).

When the null hypothesis is rejected, it is replaced by the alternative hypothesis, a statement that holds true to the observed result and rejects the null hypothesis.

In this example, the proposition on ground was that 76% of readers of a publication, has a personal computer, the null hypothesis comes to negate this association/claim, that it is not a 76% proportion, but it could be more or less than 76%, hence the statement 'The proportion of readers who own a personal computer is not 76%'. Upon carrying out the research, it was found that the actual value was 70%, hence the null hypothesis is not rejected, and the null hypothesis is still the alternative hypothesis which can also be stated as 'The proportion of readers who own a personal computer is less than 76%', or in the exact words of the null hypothesis.
