Is the following shape a right triangle? How do you know?

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only information you really need in order to determine if this is a right triangle are the slopes of segments AB and BC.  If the slopes of these segments are opposite reciprocals of one another, then the lines are perpendicular, and the angle is a right angle (making the triangle a right triangle!).  Point A has coordinates (-5, 5), B(-3, 2), C(-6, 0).

The slope of segment AB:

m=\frac{2-5}{-3-(-5)}=-\frac{3}{2}

The slope of segment BC:

m=\frac{0-2}{-6-(-3)}=\frac{2}{3}

As you can see, the slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another so angle ABC is a right angle, and triangle ABC is a right triangle.  Choice C is the one you want.

Calculate the mean deviation by median (by using the mid-point(x) of leaf weights. b) A fair die is rolled. Find the probability
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

hello attached below is the required table that is missing and the completed table as well

A) mean deviation = 0.1645

B) 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we calculated the midpoint value (x) and c.f

N = 27

median class = 2.35 to 2.45

median = l + [ (N/2) - cf / F ] * H

             = 2.35  + [ (13.5 - 13) / 6 ] *0.1 = 2.3583

hence mean deviation by median

= summation of  fi |xi -M| / summation of fi

= 4.4417 / 27 = 0.1645

B ) probability of getting an odd number or prime number or both

the probability of an odd number = 1/2

also the probability of an even number = 1/2

while the probability of getting neither of them = 1/3

hence the probability of getting odd or prime or both

= 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3 = 2/3
