This is an isosceles triangle. The definition of an isosceles triangle is a triangle with at least two congruent sides and angles. If 2 angles on a triangle are congruent (in this case 45 and 45 are two congruent angles) then triangle is isosceles. Therefore the two sides of triangle will be congruent. We know that the triangle is a right triangle because it has a hypotenuse. If a triangle has a hypotenuse then it's a right triangle. We can apply the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
A and B are the legs and C is the hypotenuse.
We can plug C in the equation:
a^2 + b^2 = 128
What do we know about the legs of the isosceles triangle? They are congruent so a and b have to be equal. From here it's simply guess and check. Will 8 work?
8^2 + 8^2 = 128
64 + 64 = 128
128=128
Yes the value 8 works so the length of two legs of the triangle is 8.

Answer:

The 95% margin of error for this estimate is 0.0274 = 2.74 percentage points.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

72% of Americans said that they had at least one credit card

This means that $p = 0.72$

Give the 95% margin of error for this estimate.

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.72*0.28)}{1030}} = 0.0274$

The 95% margin of error for this estimate is 0.0274 = 2.74 percentage points.

What is the slope of the line shown below? PLEASE HELP

NikAS [45]

Answer:

C. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The grid markings are the same distance apart in the x- and y-directions, so a line with slope 1 will make a 45° angle with the x-axis. Your line is steeper than that, so has a slope more than 1.

Your line goes up to the right, so its slope is positive.

The only answer choice that is a positive number more than 1 is ...

... C. 2

_____

The slope is computed as the ratio of rise (vertical change) to run (horizontal change). The two marked points tell you the vertical change is from y=-4 to y=6, a change of 6-(-4) = 10. The horizontal change is from x=1 to x=6, a change of 6-1 = 5.

Then the ratio of rise to run is 10/5 = 2. This matches answer C.
