Answer: BC=14.8

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, an Isosceles triangle has two equal sides and its opposite angles are congruent.

Observe the figure attached, where the isosceles triangle is divided into two equal right triangles.

So, in this case you need to use the following Trigonometric Identity:

sin\alpha =\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

In this case, you can identify that:

\alpha =\angle BAD=\angle CAD=18\°\\\\opposite=BD=CD=x\\\\hypotenuse=AB=AC=24

Substituting values, and solving for "x", you get:

sin(18\°)=\frac{x}{24}\\\\24*sin(18\°)=x\\\\x=7.416

Therefore, the length of BC rounded to nearest tenth, is:

BC=2(7.416)=14.8

Describe the transformation of f(x) to g(x)
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

D. f(x) is shifted up 1 unit to g(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Just let's look at the y-intercept of each function.

f(0) = 0

g(0) = 1

Also remember that a vertical shift of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

where if N is positive, the shift is upwards, and if N is negative, the shift is downwards.

then we can write, for the particular value x = 0

g(0) = f(0) + N

replacing the values

1 = 0 + N

1 = N

Then N is positive, so we have a shift up of one unit.

The correct option is:

D. f(x) is shifted up 1 unit to g(x).

Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containing 8 white, 4 black, and 2 orange balls. Suppose that we win $2 for each black
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The objective of the problem is obtained below:

From the information, an urn consists of, 4 black, 2 orange balls and 8 white.

The person loses $1 for each white ball selected, no money is lost or gained for any orange balls picked and win $2 for each black ball selected. Let the random variable X denotes the winnings.

No winnings probability= 0.011

Probability of winning $1=0.3516

Probability of winning $2= 0.0879

Probability of winning $4= 0.0659

Jammal makes a cut through a block of florist's foam, as shown. What are the dimensions of the exposed cross section?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

C. 3 in x 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Jammal cuts the block in a straight line parallel to one side... so the section revealed when he finishes his cut will be identical as the parallel side to which the cut is done.

We know the the left side of the prism on the image is 3 inches wide and 6 inches high... so that will also be the dimensions of the exposed cross section.

The answer is then 3 inches y 6 inches. The thickness of the block (5 inches) has no impact on the exposed area of the cross-section.
