The length of side AM is $\boxed{12{\text{ units}}}.$

Further explanation:

An altitude is a line that is perpendicular to a side and passes through opposite vertex.

The point at which all the three medians of a triangle intersect each is known as centroid of the triangle.

Median divides the triangle into two equal parts.

Given:

In triangle ABC, D is the centroid on the median AM.

The length of AD is x+5 and the length of DM is 3x-5.

Calculation:

The centroid divides the median in the ratio of $\dfrac{2}{1}.$

Here, the point D is a median.

Therefore, D divides the line AM in the ratio of 2:1.

The length of AD is 2 times the length of DM.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{AD}}&= 2\times {\text{DM}}\\x + 5&= 6x - 10\\5 + 10&=6x - x\\15&= 5x\\\frac{{15}}{5}&=x\\3&=x\\\end{aligned}$

The length of side AD can be calculated as follows,

$\begin{aligned}AD&= 3 + 5\\&= 8{\text{ units}}\\\end{aligned}$

The length of side DM can be calculated as follows,

$\begin{aligned}DM &= 3 \times 3 - 5\\&=9 - 5\\&=4\\\end{aligned}$

The length of AM can be calculated as follows,

$\begin{aligned}AM &= AD + DM\\&=8+ 4\\&= 12{\text{ units}}\\\end{aligned}$

Hence, the length of side AM is $\boxed{12{\text{ units}}}.$

Answer

Find out the value of AM.

To prove

As given

In ABC,

centroid D is on median AM.

AD = x + 5 and DM = 3x – 5.

By using the centroid property

The centroid divides each median in a ratio of 2:1.

Thus D divide the median AM in a ratio of 2:1.

Therefore

(AD) = 2DM

(x + 5) = 6x – 10

5x = 15

$x = \frac{15}{5}$

x = 3

Now

AM = 3+ 5

= 8 unit

DM = 3 × 3- 5

= 4 unit

AM = AD + DM

= 8 + 4

AM = 12 unit

Therefore the AM is 12 unit.

A rectangular storage container with an open top is to have a volume of 10 m3. The length of this base is twice the width. Mater

frutty [35]

Answer:

Cost of material is $245.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let dimension of box,

Length, l = x m

Width, w = y m

Height, h = z m

The length of this base is twice the width.

∴ x = 2y

Volume of box = 10 m³

∴ xyz = 10

⇒ 2y²z = 10

⇒ y²z = 5

$\Rightarrow z=\dfrac{5}{y^2}\ \ \ ...(i)$

Material for the base costs $15 per square meter.

Total cost of base = 15xy

Total cost of base = 30y² [∵ x = 2y ]

Material for the sides costs $9 per square meter.

Total cost of side = 9(2xz+2zy)

Total cost of side = 18(xz+yz)

Total cost of material for container = 30y² + 18(xz+yz)

$C(y)=30y^2+18(2y\cdot \dfrac{5}{y^2}+y \dfrac{5}{y^2})$ [From (i)]

$C(y)=30y^2+\dfrac{270}{y}$

Differentiate w.r.t y

$C'(y)=60y-\dfrac{270}{y^2}$

For critical point , C'(y)=0

$60y-\dfrac{270}{y^2}=$

$y=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{9}{2}}$

$x=2y=2\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{9}{2}}$

$z=\dfrac{5}{y^2}=5\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{4}{81}}$

The minimum cost of container material at $y=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{9}{2}}$

$C_{min}=30\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{81}{4}}+270\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{2}{9}}$

$C_{min}=245.31$

Hence, the cheapest cost of material for container is $245.31

Bas_tet [7]

Options :

Which conclusion is most appropriate in the context of this situation?

The data do not support the claim that a lower proportion of conservatives smoke cannabis when compared to liberals.

The data support the claim that the proportion of conservatives who smoke cannabis is no different that the proportion for liberals.

The data support the claim that a lower proportion of conservatives smoke cannabis when compared to liberals.

Answer:

The data support the claim that a lower proportion of conservatives smoke cannabis when compared to liberals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the hypothesis :

H0:p1−p2=0(p1=p2)

Ha:p1−p2<0

The test statistic = - 4.27

Pvalue = 0.00001

For making statistical decisions ;

Pvalue and α are very useful,

Decison boundary :

When Pvalue ≤ α ; We reject the Null (H0) otherwise, we fail to reject the Null.

However, based on the outcome of the statistical analysis,

The Pvalue < α ; Hence, we reject the Null and conclude that there is significant evidence support the claim that a lower proportion of conservatives smoke cannabis when compared to liberals.

Help! I’ll reward brainest its pretty easy (Btw it’s the third person to the bus not the first)

just olya [345]

Answer:

Preston 48.20 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the times for all 4 of them.

Sarah 48.02 seconds.
Preston 48.20 seconds.
Josh 52 seconds.
Amber 40.02 seconds.

From the information given, we can find the first to the last person to the bus. Whoever came to the bus in less seconds is the first person to reach to the bus and whoever came to the bus in more seconds is the last person to reach to the bus.

1 ---> Amber 40.02 seconds.

2 ---> Sarah 48.02 seconds.

3 ---> Preston 48.20 seconds.

4 ---> Josh 52 seconds.

I hope this helps and stay safe, happy, and healthy. Also I would appreciate if you give me the brainlist or not, thank you :) !!
