Okay so lets look at the equation given
a ^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}
this is the Pythagorean theorem, this equation holds true to all right angle triangles.

for the "a" and "b" terms must be the two shortest lengths and "c" must be the longest length.
why? because "c" represents the hypotenuse in this theorem and the hypotenuse is by definition the longest side of a right triangle.

(side note: always draw a picture, it helps a lot if you doodle a bit to get an idea of what you are working with)

we are given three lengths : 3 , 4, and 5 (im ignoring the measurements for now)

we can look at it two ways with a picture and through algebra

try to draw a right triangle with the given info. you'll see there are only two cases were this is possible the picture above is one case where this is not possible

now we can look at this algebraically
a = 3 \\ b = 4 \\ c = 5
(but "a" and "b" can swap lengths)

now with the Pythagorean theorem we can see how this plays out
{a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ {3 }^{2} + {4}^{2} = {5 }^{2} \\ 9 + 16 = 25 \\ 25 = 25
and heres with "a" and "b" lengths swapped
{4}^{2} + {3}^{2} = {5}^{2} \\ 16 + 9 = 25 \\ 25 = 25
now here's a case when we let 5 , our longest length , become a leg and let one our shorter lengths take the place of "c"

a = 5 \\ b = 3 \\ c = 4 \\ {5}^{2} + {3}^{2} = {4}^{2} \\ 25 + 9 = 16 \\ 34 = 16 \:
obviously 34 does not equal 16

hope this helped you out

What is the volume of this pyramid? 945 cm³ 1260 cm³ 1890 cm³ 2520 cm³ A pyramid with a right triangular base. The right triangu
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The volume of the pyramid is 1,260\ cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular pyramid is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}BH

where

B is the area of the triangular base

H is the height of the pyramid

step 1

Find the area of the base B

B=\frac{1}{2}bh

we have

b=14\ cm

h=18\ cm

substitute

B=\frac{1}{2}(14)(18)=126\ cm^{2}

step 2

Find the volume

we have

B=126\ cm^{2}

H=30\ cm

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}BH

V=\frac{1}{3}(126)(30)=1,260\ cm^{3}

Test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 500. Convert the given score to a z-score, using the given standard deviatio
Bond [772]

Answer:

The percentage of students who scored below 620 is 93.32%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 500, \sigma = 80

Percentage of students who scored below 620:

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 620. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{620 - 500}{80}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

The percentage of students who scored below 620 is 93.32%.
