Answer:

a = 5.81 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where b= 1.5 and c= 6

a^2 +1.5^2 = 6^2

a^2 +2.25 = 36

Subtract 2.25 from each side

a^2 +2.25-2.25 = 36-2.25

a^2 = 33.75

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(33.75)

a = 5.809475019

We only take the positive root because length must be positive

Digiron [165]

Answer:%28a-b%29%2Fb=c

a-b=bc

a=bc%2Bb

 

a=b%28c%2B1%29

a%2F%28c%2B1%29=b

b=a%2F%28c%2B1%29

So the answer is b=a%2F%28c%2B1%29

The equilateral triangle shown is rotated about line a. Each side of the triangle measures 20 mm. What shape is created by the r
zysi [14]

Answer:

a cone with a base circumference of about 126 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotating a triangle about a line results in a cone created by the rotation.  This is because the segment at the bottom forms a circle, and the point at the top stays there; the three-dimensional figure with a circular base and a point at the top is a cone.

Since we rotate the segments about a line, this makes the length of the base the radius of the circle. This means the circumference would be

C = 2πr = 2(3.14)(20) = 125.6 ≈ 126 mm

Your class rank in 2018 was 89 out of 360 students. In 2019 your class rank was 95 out of 450 students. a. In which year did you
spin [16.1K]

A) given that in 2019 you were among the 21.11% of the best students in the class, in that year you had the higher percentile ranking, and B) the measure of average that would be the most meaningful is the median.

Given that your class rank in 2018 was 89 out of 360 students, while in 2019 your class rank was 95 out of 450 students, to determine A) in which year did you have the higher percentile ranking, and B) if you had the data on the cumulative GPA of each student at the end of the spring semester in 2018, which measure of average would be the most meaningful - mean, median or mode -, the following calculation should be performed:

  • 360 = 100
  • 89 = X
  • 89 x 100/360 = X
  • 24.72 = X
  • 450 = 100
  • 95 = X
  • 95 x 100/450 = X
  • 21.11 = X

Therefore, A) given that in 2019 you were among the 21.11% of the best students in the class, in that year you had the higher percentile ranking, and B) the measure of average that would be the most meaningful is the median.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Less than 100. Z=83

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the average found by adding the sum of the data points and dividing by the number of them. Here there are 3 cars whose speeds are 101, 116, and Z or unknown. The mean of them is 100. Solve for Z.

100 =(101+116+Z)/3

300=217+Z

83=Z
