If triangle VWZ is congruent to triangle XWY, find the length of YX.

Answer:

Measure of side YX is 22 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ΔVWZ ~ ΔXWY, their corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.

\frac{VW}{XW}=\frac{VZ}{XY}=\frac{WZ}{WY}

By substituting the values given in the picture in the ratio,

\frac{45}{30}=\frac{(3x-9)}{(x+8)}=\frac{36}{24}

\frac{(3x-9)}{(x+8)}=\frac{3}{2}

By cross multiplication,

2(3x - 9) = 3(x + 8)

6x - 18 = 3x + 24

(6x -18) + 18 = 3x + 24 + 18

6x - 3x = (3x + 42) - 3x

6x - 3x = 42

3x = 42

x = \frac{42}{3}

x = 14

m(YX) = x + 8

          = 14 + 8

          = 22

Therefore, measure of side YX is 22 units.

Patrick is driving form Sydney to Canberra. He travels for 288km trip in 4 hours. What's his average speed?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

v = 72 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by the Patrick, d = 288 km

Time taken, t = 4 hours

We need to find the average speed of Patrick. We know that the average speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. Let it is v. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{288\ km}{4\ h}\\\\v=72\ km/h

So, his average speed is equal to 72 km/h.

A pizza chain plans to locate a new pizza franchise on the CCSU campus if the results of a survey show that more than 10% of CCS
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) Null and alternative hypothesis:

H_0: \pi=0.1\\\\H_a:\pi>0.1

b) A Type I error is made when a true null hypothesis is rejected. In this case, it would mean a conclusion that the proportion is significantly bigger than 10%, when in fact it is not.

c) The consequences would be that they would be more optimistic than they should about the result of the investment, expecting a proportion of students that is bigger than the true population proportion.

d) A Type II error is made when a false null hypothesis is failed to be rejected. This would mean that, although the proportion is significantly bigger than 10%, there is no enough evidence and it is concluded erroneously that the proportion is not significantly bigger than 10%

e) The consequences would be that the investment may not be made, even when the results would have been more positive than expected from the conclusion of the hypothesis test.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The hypothesis should be carried to test if the proportion of students that would eat there at least once a week is significantly higher than 10%.

Then, the alternative or spectulative hypothesis will state this claim: that the population proportion is significantly bigger than 10%.

On the contrary, the null hypothesis will state that this proportion is not significantly higher than 10%.

This can be written as:

H_0: \pi=0.1\\\\H_a:\pi>0.1
