Answer with explanation:

If the length of three segments are, 9.2, 14.5 and 17.1 ,it can be sides of triangle if , Sum of two segments is greater than the third segment.

1.→ 9.2 +14.5=23.7 >17.1

2.→ 14.5 +17.1=41.6 > 9.2

3.→17.1 +9.2=26.3 >14.5

As, sum of any two segment is greater than third segment, so the following measurements can be the the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

If the triangle has a angle of 90°, you can solved this exercise by applying the Pythagorean Theorem, which is:

 h²=a²+b²
 h=√(a²+b²)

 h: It is the hypotenuse (The opposite side of the right angle and the longest side of the triangle).

 a and b: They are the legs (The sides that form the right angle).

 The result of h=√(a²+b²), should be 17.1 (The longest side given in the problem). So, let's substitute the values of the legs into the Pythagorean equation:

 h=√(a²+b²)
 h=√((9.2)²+(14.5)²)
 h=17.1

 Therefore, the answer is:

 Yes, the given measures can be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

Based on data collected 5 years ago, a hotel expects that 24% of all guests will request smoking rooms. The hotel suspects that
9966 [12]

Answer:

The calculated value Z = 2.3084 > 1.96 at 5% level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

Alternative hypothesis is accepted

The hotel does not expects that 24% of all guests will request smoking rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-

Given the hotel takes a random sample of 223 guests. Out of this sample, 39 guests requested smoking rooms.

Sample proportion

                          p = x/n = 39/223 = 0.174

Given Population proportion 'P' = 0.24

Given random sample size 'n' = 223

Level of significance ∝ =0.05

The critical value Z₀.₀₅ = 1.96

<u><em>Null Hypothesis</em></u> (H₀) : P=0.24

<u><em>Alternative Hypothesis</em></u> (H₁) : P≠ 0.24

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u>:-

<em>Test statistic </em>

            Z = \frac{p-P}{\sqrt{\frac{PQ}{n} } }

           Z = \frac{0.174-0.24}{\sqrt{\frac{0.24 X 0.76}{223} } }

           |Z| = | -2.3084|= 2.3084

The calculated value Z = 2.3084 > 1.96 at 5% level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

Alternative hypothesis is accepted

The hotel does not expects that 24% of all guests will request smoking rooms

Two hours after a truck leaves phoenix traveling 45 miles per hour, a car leaves to overtake the truck. if it takes the car ten
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The correct answer is 54 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we have to use the formula of

Speed=Distance/time

Both, car an truck made the same distance,  so

Distance car=Speed car*time car

Distance truck =Speed truck*time truck  

Distance car=Distance truck

So Speed car*time car =Speed truck*time truck  

Speed car =Speed truck* time truck /time car

Time truck = time car +2 ( truck leaves 2 hours before)

Time car =10

Speed car =45 miles per hour* 12 /10

Speed car = 54 miles per hour

Solve for X. 20 points !!!!
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

4) x = - 12

5) x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4)

Since points T and S are mid points of sides ML and MN of triangle MLN.

Therefore, by mid point theorem,

TS is half of LN

so,

x + 26 =  \frac{1}{2} (x + 40) \\  \\ 2(x + 26) =x + 40 \\  \\ 2x + 52 = x + 40 \\  \\ 2x - x = 40 - 52 \\  \\ x =  - 12

5) In the same way x = 4 will be the correct answer in question number 5.
