Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's imagine that the base of the triangle is x, and since the height is 13 less, the height will be x-13. So since the formula for area is base*height/2, plug x(x-13)/2=24, which is the area, and solve. You would get x^2-13x=48, and bring the 48 to the other side to get x^2-13x-48=0. Through the quadratic formula, you would get x=16 and x=-3. Since -3 cannot be valid for a triangle, 16 is the answer.

Answer:

The sample size is $n = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is E =4.266

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 2.539$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 99% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ] ^2$

=> $n = [\frac{2.58 * 2.539 }{4.266} ] ^2$

=> $n = 2$

A chemist is using 362 milliliters of a solution of acid and water. If 12.1% of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of ac

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 43.8 mL of acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total volume = 362 ml

12.1 % is acid

The Volume of acid = ?

Process

1.- Use the rule of three and cross multiplication to solve this problem.

362 ml ------------------- 100%

x ------------------- 12.1 %

x = (12.1 x 362) / 100

x = 4380.2 / 100

x = 43.802 ml

2.- Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

43.802 only consider the first decimal

43.8 mL

3.- Conclusion

A 12.1% solution of acid has 43.8 mL of acid.
