A seamstress is making a decorative pillow and wants to sew lace around the trim. The pillow is in the shape of a triangle with

vertices (7, 7) (10, 3) (7, 3). How many inches of lace will she need if each unit on the grid is one inch?

Use the distance formula in order to find the length of each side of the triangle. 

<span>>(7, 7) & (10, 3)
</span>√[(7-10)² + (7-3)²] = 5
<span>
></span><span>(10, 3) & (7, 3)
</span>√[(10-7)² + (3-3)²] = 3

>(7, 7) & (7, 3)
√[(7-7)² + (7-3)²] = 4

Adding all lengths (or solving for perimeter), we have: 5 + 3 + 4 = 12 

The seamstress will need 12 inches of lace.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

2.7 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles have the same angles, and all side lengths (or other distances) of one triangle have the same scaling factor to the side lengths of the other triangle.

so, we know the relation between the 2 baselines is 2/3, as this is the factor to turn the baseline of the large triangle into the baseline of the smaller triangle.

in other words

EF = BC × 2/3

2 = 3 × 2/3

correct

how do we calculate the area of a triangle ?

Area = baseline × height / 2

from BAC we know

Area = 6

baseline = 3

height = ?

6 = 3 × height / 2

12 = 3 × height

height = 4

aha !

now, EDF has a height too that we need to calculate is Area. and this height has the same scaling factor compared to the larger triangle as the side lengths : 2/3

so, for EDF we know

Area = ?

baseline = 2

height = 4 × 2/3 = 8/3

therefore, the area is

Area = (2 × 8/3) / 2 = (16/3) / 2 = 8/3 = 2.66666... ≈ 2.7

the shirt answer would be :

we know from the 2 baselines that the scaling factor for each distance is 2/3.

for the area we need to multiply 2 distances, so that means we have to multiply both by 2/3. and so on the formula for the area we have to use 2/3 × 2/3.

2/3 × 2/3 = 4/9

=>

Area small = Area large × 4/9 = 6 × 4/9 = 24/9 = 8/3 ≈ 2.7

Ursula Vanov can invest $5,000 in a 1-year CD at 3% compounded monthly or a 1-year CD compounded daily. Determine the amount at
Aliun [14]
Solving for the amount of maturity given that it is compounded monthly for 1 year with an interest of 3%, we have the formula and solution below:
A = P (1+r/n)^rn 
A = $5,000 (1.040417)
A =$5202.085

For compounded daily, we have the solution below:
A = $5,000 (1.040443)
A = $5202.215

The difference in amount is shown below:
Difference = $5202.215 - $5202.085
Difference = $0.13

A Starbucks coffee shop serves an average of 3500 customers per day, with a standard deviation of 250. What is the probability t
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

P(3300  

And we can find this probability with this difference:  

P(-0.8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem  

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of cofee shops of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:  

X \sim N(3500,250)  

Where \mu=3500 and \sigma=250  

We are interested on this probability  

P(3300  

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:  

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}  

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:  

P(3300  

And we can find this probability with this difference:  

P(-0.8

Find the missing side lengths​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

X = 18

Y = 9√3

Step-by-step explanation:

use sin equation for right angle triangle

The sine of the angle

= ( the length of the opposite side ÷ the length of the hypotenuse.)

according to this question,

sin 30 = 9 / X

1/2 = 9 / X

X = 18

use cosine to find y

The cosine of the angle

= (the length of the adjacent side ÷ the length of the hypotenuse.)

cos 30 = y/x

√3/2 = y/ 18

y = 9 ✓3
