Hi there!

Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. It is also the opposite side of the right angle.

Adjacent is when the two angles have a common side and a common vertex and don't overlap.

I attached a picture in here to help you visualize where they are located.

Please let me know if you have further questions

I hope that helps!

Its very simple. You see, consider a right angled triangle, and the side opposite to the right angle or the largest side is Hypotnuse and the side the is adjacent to the angle that you choose is the adjacent side.

In a random sample of 200 cars of a particular model,

Aleks04 [339]

By using proportions, We expect 150 defects out of the 10,000 cars if the 3 defects out of the 200 cars sampled is representative of all 10,000 cars.

Option A is correct.

First, let's set up the proportions.

A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

We have 3/200 cars with defects and we want to know X for X/10000.

So 3/200 = X/10000

Now solve for X.

3/200 = X/10000

X = $\frac{3}{200} \times 10000$
