Making a proportion helps solve this problem. Cm on top, km on bottom.


1 9

---- = ----

20 ?


Cross multiply to get 1? = 180


? = 180.


The distance is 180 km.

List the names and measures for pairs of same-side interior angles. Then find the sum of the measures for each pair. What is the
SpyIntel [72]

Answer: The two pairs of same-side interior angles are CHG and HGA and DHG and HGB.

mCHG = 48.81°, and m HGA = 131.19°.

mDHG = 131.19°, and m HGB = 48.81°.

mCHG + mHGA = 180°

mDHG + mHGB = 180°

Each pair of same-side interior angles is supplementary.

The height of a triangle is 8 centimeters greater than half its base. The area of the triangle is 48 square centimeters what is
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

base = 8 cm

height = 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We will need the formula for area of a trianlge, which is

A = (1/2)bh    where b is the base, and h is the height

We are given two formulas...

"The height of a triangle is 8 centimeters greater than half its base" becomes

  h = (1/2)b + 8

"The area of the triangle is 48 square centimeters" becomes

48 = (1/2)bh

Plug the first formula into the second to solve for h

48 = (1/2)b[(1/2) + 8]             (h becomes (1/2)b + 8)

Now solve for b

48 = (1/4)b² + 4b

**This is a quadratic euquation.  Solve using factoring...

(1/4)b² + 4b - 48 = 0       (subtract 48 from both sides)

b² + 16b - 192  =  0       (multiply by 4 so b² is by itself, it's easier to factor this way)

Now factor...

(b + 24)(b - 8) = 0       (you need two numbers that add to 16 and multiply to -192)

Set each binomial equal to zero and solve for b

b + 24 = 0          

    b = -24    

**this anwser is not valid because b is a length, and you can't have negative length

b - 8 = 0

  b = 8        

Since the other solution is invalid, the base is b

If the base is b, then the height is...

h = (1/2)b + 8

 

   h = (1/2)(8) + 8

     h = 4 + 8

 

         h = 12

IQ scores based on the​ Stanford-Binet IQ test are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and standard deviation 15. If you wer
lianna [129]

Answer:

95 intervals

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

population mean = 100

standard deviation = 15

number of interval that involve the mean for 95% confidence interval is calculated as

We know that when we measure the 99 percent confidence interval, 99 outof 100 confidence interval are required to provide the mean population.

similarly

Assuming we measure a confidence interval of 95 percent, then we  should expect 95 out of 100 confidence interval to provide the mean population therefore, answer is 95
