Find the missing dimension of each triangle described height 14 inches area 245 inches Square

1 answer:

4 0

Given:
Triangle
height 14 inches
area 245 inches square

Formula in finding the area of a triangle is:

Area = (height * base) / 2

The base is missing, so we need to compute its value using the given figures.

245 = (14 * b) / 2
245 * 2 = 14b
490 = 14b
490/14 = b
35 = b

The base is 35 inches.

scoray [572]

Answer:

a. n=4148

b. n=3909

c. The sample size is smaller if a known proportion from prior study is used. The difference in sample sizes is 239

Step-by-step explanation:

a. For sample where no preliminary estimate is given, the minimum sample size is calculated using the formula:

$n=p(1-p)(\frac{z}{ME})^2$

Where:

$ME=$ Margin of error
$p=$ is the assumed proportion

#Let p=0.5, substitute in the formula to solve for n:

$n=0.5(1-0.5)\times (2.576/0.02)^2\\\\=4147.36\approx 4148$

Hence, the minimum sample size is 4148

b. If given a preliminary estimate p=0.38, we use the same formula but substitute p with the given value:

$n=p(1-p)(z/ME)^2\\\\=0.38(1-0.38)(2.576/0.02)^2\\\\=3908.47\approx3909$

Hence, the minimum sample size is 3909

c. Comparing the sample sizes from a and b:

$n_{0.5}>n_{0.38}\\\\n_{0.5}-n_{0.38}=4148-3909=239$

Hence, the actual sample size is smaller for a known proportion from prior a prior study.

12345 [234]

In an installment loan, a lender loans a borrower a principal amount P, on which the borrower will pay a yearly interest rate of i (as a fraction, e.g. a rate of 6% would correspond to i=0.06) for n years. The borrower pays a fixed amount M to the lender q times per year. At the end of the n years, the last payment by the borrower pays off the loan.

After k payments, the amount A still owed is

A = P(1+[i/q])k - Mq([1+(i/q)]k-1)/i, = (P-Mq/i)(1+[i/q])k + Mq/i. The amount of the fixed payment is determined byM = Pi/[q(1-[1+(i/q)]-nq)]. The amount of principal that can be paid off in n years isP = M(1-[1+(i/q)]-nq)q/i. The number of years needed to pay off the loan isn = -log(1-[Pi/(Mq)])/(q log[1+(i/q)]). The total amount paid by the borrower is Mnq, and the total amount of interest paid isI = Mnq - P.

Find the value of k so that 48x-ky=11 and (k+2)x+16y=-19 are perpendicular lines.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: k = -1 +/- √769

Step-by-step explanation:

48x - ky = 11

-48x -48x

-ky = -48x + 11

$\frac{-ky}{-k} = \frac{-48x}{-k} + \frac{11}{-k}$

$y =\frac{48x}{k} - \frac{11}{k}$

Slope: $\frac{48}{k}$

*************************************************************************

(k + 2)x + 16y = -19

- (k + 2)x -(k + 2)x

16y = -(k + 2)x - 19

$\frac{16y}{16} = -\frac{(k + 2)x}{16} - \frac{19}{16}$

$y = -\frac{(k + 2)x}{16} - \frac{19}{16}$

Slope: $-\frac{(k + 2)}{16}$

**********************************************************************************

$\frac{48}{k}$ and $-\frac{(k + 2)}{16}$ are perpendicular so they have opposite signs and are reciprocals of each other. When multiplied by its reciprocal, their product equals -1.

$-\frac{(k + 2)}{16}$ * $\frac{k}{48}$ = -1

$\frac{(k + 2)k}{16(48)}$ = 1

Cross multiply, then solve for the variable.

(k + 2)(k) = 16(48)

k² + 2k - 768 = 0

Use quadratic formula to solve:

k = -1 +/- √769
