Answer:

The correct answer is D. 126

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this exercise, we need to know that two straight triangles that are sharing a vertex like in this picture are considered similar triangles. One property of the similar triangles is that exist a linear relationship between its sides. In this exercise, one triangle is ABC and the other CDE.

The relationship that we can write is between the length of its sides.

The relationship is a division between the length of the sides :

$\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{CE}{DE}$ ⇒

$\frac{140-x}{81}=\frac{x}{9}$

Solving the equation

$x=\frac{(140-x)}{81}.(9)$

$x=\frac{(140-x)}{9}$

$9x=140-x$

$10x=140$

$x=14$ ⇒

If the side AC is $140-x$ the length is

$140-14=126$

The correct option is D. 126

The time required to finish a test is normally distributed with a mean of 60 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Wha

valkas [14]

The answer is 0.3413 because Explanation:

z=x−uσ, where u=6 0andσ=10.

Therefore the probability student finish the test between 50 to 60 minutes is,

P(50≤x≤60)=P(50−6010≤z≤60−6010)

P(−1≤z≤0)=P(z≤0)−P(z≤−1)

=0.5000−0.1587=0.3413

A drawbridge rises at a rate of 3 2/3 feet per minute. The drawbridge rises to a height of 50 feet. How long does it take the dr

k0ka [10]

Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the drawbridge rises at a rate of $3\ \frac{2}{3}$ feet per minute. This means that the drawbridge rises $3\ \frac{2}{3}$ in a minutes.

Convert from mixed fraction to decimal number:

$3\ \frac{2}{3}\ ft=(3+0.66)\ ft=3.6\ ft$

Since the drawbridge rises to a height of 50 feet, you need to apply this procedure in order to find the time the drawbridge takes to completely rise:

$time=\frac{(1\ min)(50\ ft)}{3.66\ ft}=13.6\ min$ or $13\ \frac{7}{11}\ min$
