3 feet tall
If it is in the shape of a tent and the floor is 8 feet across half of it cut down the middle would be 4 ft, you create a right triangle and can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height. 5 is the hypotenuse and 4 is a leg.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Plug in  the values known
4^2 +b^2 = 5^2
simplify
16+b^2=25
subtract 16 from both sides
b^2=9
take the square root of both sides
b=3 the hight is 3 ft

Given:
mean = 64
standard deviation = 6
sample size = 50

Standard error of the sample mean = standard deviation / √sample size

Standard error = 6 / √50 = 6/7.07 =<span> 0.85</span>

What do you know to be true about the values of p and q?
artcher [175]

Answer:

p = q

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180°

For the left triangle:

180 = p + 20 + 80

p = 80

For the right triangle:

180 = q + 45 + 55

q = 80

Therefore, p = q

Kat plays a surfing video game with a friend. Each player earns 50 points for each trick he performs, but loses 40 points each t
Dahasolnce [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of points got from 1 stunt = 50.

No. of points deducted from 1 fail = 40.

6 stunts and 9 falls were gained last week.

So, A/C the number of points earned =

(6×50)-(9×40)

= 300 - 360

= -60

Her score today is 3 times her score from last week so multiply by 3

= (-60) × 3

= -180

If it were multiplied by -3 instead of 3 it would be...

(-60) × (-3)

= 180

The difference would be that on multiplying with positive 3 she would be 180 points in the whole but multiplying with negative three means she is 180 points in the league.

The similarity is that that whole number is same but the symbol adds a difference and the absolute value would be same too.
