Your question is not clear, but it looks as though you want to know how Brie can make a similar sandbox with base = 8ft.
Answer:
For Brie to make a similar sandbox, he must use a base = 8ft, and height = (8/3)ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It is possible for Brie to make a similar triangular sandbox with base = 12ft and height = 4ft.
All he must ensure is that the ratio of base to height of the original sandbox is the same ratio of base to height of the one he is trying to make.
The original sandbox is 12:4
Because he wants to use a base = 8ft, the sandbox he is trying to make is 8:x
Where x is the height of the sandbox he is trying to make.
Then for these sandboxes to be similar, the ratio 12:4 = 8:x
=> 12/4 = 8/x
12x = 8 × 4
12x = 32
x = 8/3
The height must be (8/3)ft
Answer:
The t distribution is used, because we have the standard deviation for the sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
When to use the z or the t distribution?
When we have the standard deviation for the population, we use the z distribution.
When we have the standard deviation for the sample, we use the t distribution.
In this question:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t distribution is used.
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get rid of the decimals:
0.05<em>n</em> + 0.10<em>d</em> = 1.50
==> 5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em> = 150
Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:
<em>n</em> + <em>d</em> = 21
==> -5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em> = -105
Add the two equations together:
(5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em>) + (-5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 + (-105)
Notice that the terms containing <em>n</em> get eliminated and we can solve for <em>d</em> :
(5<em>n</em> - 5<em>n</em>) + (10<em>d</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 - 105
5<em>d</em> = 45
<em>d</em> = 45/5 = 9
Plug this into either original equation to solve for <em>n</em>. Doing this with the first equation is easiest:
<em>n</em> + 9 = 21
<em>n</em> = 21 - 9 = 12
So Donna used 12 nickels and 9 dimes.
It should be B based off the shaded area
