Hello there!


The Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c²

We have b = 48 and c = 50

Remember: The hypotenuse is always longer.

a² + 48² = 50²

a² + 2304 = 2500

a² = 2500 - 2304

a² = 196

a = √196

a = 14

The missing length is 14.

Let me know if you have any questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!

Answer:

the missing length is 14 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:  For right angle triangle,

Sum of the squares of the two side = Square of longest side    i.e,

a² + b² = c²                  ......[1]

In the given right triangle:

we are given the measurements for the hypotenuse, c = 50 unit, and one leg, b= 48 unit.

The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle.

To find the length of leg a:

Putting the values of b and c in equation [1];

a^2+(48)^2=(50)^2 or

a^2+2,304=2500 or

a^2=2500-2304 = 196 unit

∴ a= \sqrt{196}

⇒ a= 14 unit

Therefore, the missing length a is ,  14 unit

In a group of 20 students, 1 studies both Art and Biology.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

  • 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number is 20.

<u>Distribution is:</u>

  • Art + Biology = 1
  • Biology = 1
  • Neither = 7

The rest = 20 - 9 = 11, the Art students

Total number of Art students becomes 12

<u>The probability would be then:</u>

  • 1/12

If x^2+2=3^2/3+3^-2/3 then prove that 3x^3+9x-8=0​
gregori [183]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2 = 3^2/3 + 3^-2/3

x^2 = 3^2/3 + 3^-2/3  - 2

x =  √(3^2/3 + 3^-2/3  - 2)

x = 0.748888296

Substitute for x  in  3x^3 + 9x - 8:

3( 0.748888296)^3 + 9( 0.748888296) - 8 = 0.

So it is proved.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

That'd be the Substitution Property.  Substitute -2 for x in x + 8 = 6 and arrive at the true statement 6 = 6.

Twenty five heat lamps are connected in a greenhouse so, that when one lamp fails, another takes over immediately (only one lamp
olga55 [171]

Answer:

P = 0.006

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 25 Lamps

each with mean lifetime of 50 hours and standard deviation (SD) of 4 hours

Find probability that the lamp will be burning at end of 1300 hours period.

As we are not given that exact lamp, it means we have to find the probability where any of the lamp burning at the end of 1300 hours, So we have

Suppose i represents lamps

P (∑i from 1 to 25 (X_i > 1300)) = 1300

= P(X^{'}> \frac{1300}{25})                  where X^{'} represents mean time of a single lamp

= P (Z> \frac{52-50}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}})                Z is the standard normal distribution which can be found by using the formula

Z = Mean Time (X^{'}) - Life time of each Lamp (50 hours)/ (SD/\sqrt{n})

Z = (52-50)/(4/\sqrt{25}) = 2.5

Now, P(Z>2.5) = 0.006 using the standard normal distribution table

Probability that a lamp will be burning at the end of 1300 hours period is 0.006
