Answer:
x ≈ 15.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
x² + 6² = 17²
x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = 
≈ 15.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
Given the figure of a regular pyramid
The base of the pyramid is a hexagon with a side length = 6
The lateral area is 6 times the area of one of the side triangles
So, the side triangle has a base = 6
The height will be:
![\begin{gathered} h^2=6^2+(\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}\cdot6)^2=36+27=63 \\ h=\sqrt[]{63} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20h%5E2%3D6%5E2%2B%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B3%7D%7D%7B2%7D%5Ccdot6%29%5E2%3D36%2B27%3D63%20%5C%5C%20h%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B63%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
so, the lateral area =
![6\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot6\cdot\sqrt[]{63}=18\sqrt[]{63}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Ccdot6%5Ccdot%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B63%7D%3D18%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B63%7D)
Question options :
a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.
b. They should be close to the height that is 95% of the mean. That is, 66.5 inches, plus or minus 2 standard deviations.
c. They should be at or below the 95th percentile, which is 74.92 inches.
d. None of the above.
Answer: a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Assume men's height follow a normal curve ; and :
Mean height = 70 inches
Standard deviation= 3 inches
According to the empirical rule ;
Assuming a normal distribution with x being random variables ;
About 68% of x-values lie between -1 to 1 standard deviation of the mean. With about 95% of the x values lying between - 2 and +2 standard deviation of mean. With 99.7% falling between - 3 to 3 standard deviations from the mean.
Using the empirical rule :
95% will fall between + or - 2 standard deviation of the mean.
Lower limit = - 2(3) = - 6
Upper limit = 2(3) = 6
(-6+mean) and (+6+ mean)
(-6 + 70) and (6+70)
64 and 76
