We can use a modified form of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of x, also known as side b.
Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We can fill in the values of a^2 and c^2, and then solve for b.
14^2 + b^2 = 25^2
196 + b^2 = 625
Subtract 196 from both sides.
b^2 = 429
√ both sides.
b = 20.7
<h3>The value of x, or b, is equal to 20.7.</h3>
Answer:
(A) 0.125 probability
(B) 0.625 probability
(C) 660 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance driven by a truck driver daily, falls between 300miles and 700miles and follows a uniform distribution.
(A) The probability that the truck driver goes more than 650 miles a day is:
[700 - 650] / [700 - 300] = 50/400 = 0.125
(B) The probability that the truck driver goes between 400 and 650 miles a day is:
[650 - 400] / [700 - 300] = 250/400 = 0.625
(C) The minimum number of miles the truck driver travels on the furthest 10% of days is given thus:
10% of 400 = 40
Subtract this from the farthest distance;
700miles - 40miles = 660miles
Answer:
6 socks
Step-by-step explanation:
What we must do is calculate the probability of this happening, that he takes out two black socks in the first two taken out.
There are 12 black socks and in total they are 24, therefore the probability of drawing 1 is:
12/24
and now the probability of getting another one is 11 (there is one less outside) and in total they are 23:
11/23
the final probability is the multiplication of these events:
(12/24) * (11/23)
P = 0.24
Now, to know how many you should get, we multiply the probability by the total number of socks, that is:
0.24 * 24 = 5.76
So you must take out at least 6 socks for the above to happen.
Answer:
1.8 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The questions which involve calculating the angles and the sides of a triangle either require the sine rule or the cosine rule. In this question, the two sides that are given are adjacent to each other and the given angle is the included angle. This means that the angle is formed by the intersection of the two lines. Therefore, cosine rule will be used to calculate the length of the largest side of the triangle. The cosine rule is:
b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B).
The question specifies that a=0.5, B=120°, and c=1.5. Plugging in the values:
b^2 = 0.5^2 + 1.5^2 - 2(0.5)(1.5)*cos(120°).
Simplifying gives:
b^2 = 3.25.
Taking square root on the both sides gives b = 1.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
This means that the length of the third side is 1.8 units!!!
Answer: The length is 510 and the width is 110.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a rectangle, you will have to add the 2 times the length plus 2 times the width because a rectangle have 4 sides. Two widths and two lengths.
You can now use the formula P= 2l + 2w
were P is the perimeter , l is the length, and w is the width.
the length is 400 more than the width, so we can represent that by the equation, l = w + 400
And now we know that the width is w.
So now we will input the perimeter, length, and into the formula to solve for w.
1240 = 2(w + 400) + 2w
1240 = 2w + 800 + 2w
1240 = 4w + 800
-800 -800
440 = 4w
w = 110
L= 110 + 400
L = 510
Check :
1240 = 2(510) + 2(110)
1240 = 1020 + 220
1240 = 1240
