Answer:

The correct option is C. XV is an angle bisector.

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude: A perpendicular line segment from any vertex of a triangle to the opposite side is called an altitude.

Median: A line segment from any vertex of a triangle to the opposite side, which divides that side is two equal parts is called median.

Angle bisector: A line segment from any vertex of a triangle to the opposite side, which divides the angle of vertex in two equal parts is called an angle bisector.

Perpendicular bisector: A perpendicular line segment from any vertex of a triangle to the opposite side, which divides that side is two equal parts is called perpendicular bisector.

From the given graph it is clear that the line segment XV divides the angle X is two equal parts,

$\angle YXV=\angle ZXV=40^{\circ}$

Therefore, XV is an angle bisector and the correct option is C.

1. A sphere is sliced so that the cross section does not intersect the center of the sphere.

stich3 [128]

1. The shape of cross-section is a circle.
2. The face parallel to ABCD is EFGH. Since this is a a rectangular shape,

A = L*H = 12*6 = 72 cm^2

3. The cross-section parallel to ABC is DEF with h = 12 ft, b= 5ft (where h is the height and b is the base of a right angled triangle).

Area, A = 1/2 *b*h = 1/2*5*12 =30 ft^2

4. Plane BDHF is a rectangle shape whose length is the diagonal of ABCD.

Diagonal BD = sqrt (AB^2+BD^2) = sqrt (8^2+7^2) = 10.63 cm.
Perimeter, P = 2(BD+DH) = 2(10.63+6) = 33.26 cm

What is the y-intercept of this function?<br> f(x) = 2(x - 7)2 – 32

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

We are given the following function and want to find the y-intercept:

$f(x)=2(x-7)^2-32$

Just substitute the value x=0 into the equation to find the value of the y-intercept:

$y=2(0-7)^2-32$

Simplify

$=2(49)-32$

Simplify again

$=66$

Since the value of f(x), or y, when x=0 is 66, the y-intercept of this function is 66.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= -1.496 does not fall in the critical region z < -1.645 we conclude that the new program is effective. We fail to reject the null hypothesis .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion is p2= 7/27= 0.259

and q2= 0.74

The sample size = n= 27

The population proportion = p1= 0.4

q1= 0.6

We formulate the null and alternate hypotheses that the new program is effective

H0: p2> p1 vs Ha: p2 ≤ p1

The test statistic is

z= p2- p1/√ p1q1/n

z= 0.259-0.4/ √0.4*0.6/27

z= -0.141/0.09428

z= -1.496

The significance level ∝ is 0.05

The critical region for one tailed test is z ≤ ± 1.645

Since the calculated value of z= -1.496 does not fall in the critical region z < -1.645 we conclude that the new program is effective. We fail to reject the null hypothesis .
