An art studio purchased a triangular plot of land in a town and constructed a new building whose base is in the shape of a right

triangle. The two legs have lengths of xminus4 feet and x plus 6 feet. The hypotenuse is 2 minus 18 feet. Find the lengths of the three sides.

Answer:

The sides are 30 ft, 40 ft and 50 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the triangle are as follows x - 4 , x + 6 and 2x - 18 . The hypotenuse should be 2x - 18 . The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem the length of the sides can be found.

a² + b² = c²

(x - 4)² + (x + 6)² = (2x - 18)²

(x - 4)(x - 4) + (x + 6)(x + 6) = (2x - 18)(2x - 18)

x²- 4x - 4x + 16 + x² + 6x + 6x + 36 = 4x² - 36x - 36x + 324

2x² - 8x + 12x + 16 + 36 = 4x² - 72x +  324

2x² + 4x + 52 = 4x² - 72x +  324

2x² - 4x² + 4x + 72x + 52 - 324 = 0

-2x² + 76x - 272 = 0

2x² - 76x + 272 = 0

divide through by 2

x² - 38x + 136 = 0

find the number you can multiply to give you 136 and add to give you - 38. The number are - 34 and - 4.

x² - 4x - 34x + 136 = 0

x(x - 4) - 34(x - 4) = 0

(x - 4)(x - 34 ) = 0

x = 4 or 34

we can only use 34 since using 4 will result to negative number.

x - 4  = 34 - 4 = 30 ft

x + 6 = 34 + 6 = 40 ft

2x - 18 = 68 - 18 = 50 ft

Complete Question

It is found that on average, 9% of the population recycles its garbage. Under this assumption, if a random sample of 120 households in Iowa City is taken, would you be surprised to find that fewer than 3% of households in the sample recycle their garbage? Use the fact that p-hat has an approximately normal distribution.

Group of answer choices

A I would not be surprised because there are lots of lazy students in Iowa City.

B I would not be surprised because 3% is not that far away from 9%.

C I would be surprised because Iowa City is a very clean community which means lots of people recycle their garbage.

D I would be surprised because if the 9% average is true, the chance of a sample proportion being less than 3% is very small (only 1%). Who cares? It's only garbage!

Answer:

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  = 120

    The  mean of the proportion is  p =  0.09

   

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

=>   \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{0.09(1-0.09)}{120 } }

=>   \sigma  = 0.02612

Generally the chance that fewer than 3%   of households in the sample recycle their garbage is mathematically represented as

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( \frac{X - p}{\sigma}  <  \frac{0.03 -0.09}{0.02612} )

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( Z  < -2.297 )

From the z-table  

     P( Z  < -2.297 ) = 0.01

=> [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 0.01/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 1\% /tex]

Answer:

The triangular prism is a better deal because you get 204 in³ for the same price you would pay for 128 in³ with a trapezoidal prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The trapezoidal prism has volume 32*4=128 cubic inches. The triangular prism has volume 34*6=204 inches. Since the triangular prism is more voluminous, it is the better deal. Hope this helps!

First, find the area of each of the prisms sides

5 by 5.5 = 27.5

3 by 5.5 = 16.5

4 by 3 cut in half = 6 (theres 2 of thoses so 12)

4 by 5.5 = 22

Add up the products and the surface area is 78 units
