Vertical angles are equal, which is similar to saying "vertical angles are congruent." Note: vertical, not verticle.

A rectangular piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the original length of the piece of metal

y ----> the original width of the piece of metal

we know that

When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box

The dimensions of the box are

$L=(x-10)\ in\\W=(y-10)\ in\\H=5\ in$

The volume of the box is equal to

$V=(x-10)(y-10)5$

$V=930\ in^3$

$930=(x-10)(y-10)5$

simplify

$186=(x-10)(y-10)$ -----> equation A

Remember that

The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide

$x=y+25$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$186=(y+25-10)(y-10)$

solve for y

$186=(y+15)(y-10)\\186=y^2-10y+15y-150\\y^2+5y-336=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is y=16

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

$x=16+25=41$

therefore

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

The box plots below show attendance at a local movie theater and high school basketball games:

cricket20 [7]

The standard deviation is a better measure of spread for movies than it is for basketball games.

A box plot is a graphical rendition of statistical data based on the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

As, Movies is more centric to mean and not skewed on a particular side whereas basketball games is not centric to mean but is skewed right then left.

Now, Standard deviation just measures the deviation or spread with respect to mean of collected data.

So, In the movies the data is more collected. Thus standard deviation is best suited for movie data.

Now, interquartile range. IQR relies on if the data is skewed.

So, in the basketball data the standard deviation will not give the information.

Hence, the standard deviation is a better measure of spread for movies than it is for basketball games.

On a piece of paper, use a protractor to construct a triangle with angle measures of 40° and 60?. What is the measure of the thi

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of any triangle must add up to 180°. If you form a triangle with an angle of 40° and another angle of 60°, the sum of those two angles is 40 + 60 = 100, so the measure of the third angle: 180 - 100 = 80°.

Consider a tree T storing 100,000 entries. What is the worst-case height of T in the following cases?

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) The worst-case height of an AVL tree or red-black tree with 100,000 entries is 2 log 100, 000.

b.) A (2, 4) tree storing these same number of entries would have a worst-case height of log 100, 000.

c.) A red-black tree with 100,000 entries is 2 log 100, 000

d.) The worst-case height of T is 100,000.

e.) A binary search tree storing such a set would have a worst-case height of 100,000.

Find all solutions to the equation.<br><br> cos2x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0

yanalaym [24]

For cos(2x) * (2cos(x) + 1) = 0, use the double angle identity for cos(2x), which is cos^2 x - sin^2 x = cos^2 x - (1-cos^2) = 2cos^2 x - 1.
So we have (2cos^2 x - 1)(2cos x + 1) = 0. So 2cos^2 x -1 = 0 or x = 0 and 2pi.
For 2sec^2 x + tan^2 x - 3 = 0, use the identity sec^2 x = tan^2 x + 1, so we have
2(tan^2 x + 1) + tan^2 x - 3 = 0 or
<span>2tan^2 x + tan^2 x - 1 = 0 or
</span>3 tan^2 x = 1.

So x = pi/2, pi/2 + pi = 3pi/2.
