The height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base. if the area of the triangle is 30 ft^ what is the lentgh of the base

1 answer:

6 0

Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12

Or a very large set of data the measured mean is found to be 288.6 with a standard deviation of 21.2. assuming the data to be no

SashulF [63]

The 68-95-99.7 rule tells us 68% of the probability is between -1 standard deviation and +1 standard deviation from the mean. So we expect 75% corresponds to slightly more than 1 standard deviation.

Usually the unit normal tables don't report the area between -σ and σ but instead a cumulative probability, the area between -∞ and σ. 75% corresponds to 37.5% in each half so a cumulative probability of 50%+37.5%=87.5%. We look that up in the normal table and get σ=1.15.

So we expect 75% of normally distributed data to fall within μ-1.15σ and μ+1.15σ

That's 288.6 - 1.15(21.2) to 288.6 + 1.15(21.2)

Answer: 264.22 to 312.98

Answer:

Number of students who scored atleast 1700 but less Than 2100 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

1,450 1,620 1,800 1,740 1,650 1,800 2,010 1,780 1,840 1,490 1,620 1,480 2,390 1,640 1,830 1,710 1,900 1,910 1,950 1,820 1,590 2,350 2,260 1,870 1,530 1,950 2,000 1,830 1,980 2,100

Class interval __ Frequency

1400 - 1599 ____ 5

1600 - 1799 ____ 7

1800 - 1999 ____12

2000 - 2199 ___ 3

2200 - 2399 ___ 3

Number of students who scored atleast 1700 but less Than 2100 = 17
