Answer:
17.7 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use trig to find the height of the triangle. Then the area is bh/2.
Extend side BC to the right until it is vertically below point A. Draw a segment from point A vertically down until it intersects the extension of side BC. Call the point of intersection D. <D is a right angle.
Use triangle ABD to find the height, AD, of triangle ABC.
For <B of 37 deg, AD is the opposite leg. AB is the hypotenuse. The trig ratio that relates the opposite lefg to the hypotenuse is the sine.
sin B = opp/hyp
sin 37 deg = AD/13.1
AD = 13.1 * sin 37 deg
AD = 7.9
AD is the height of triangle ABC. BC is the base. We can find the area of triangle ABC.
area = bh/2
area = (4.5 cm)(7.9 cm)/2
area = 17.7 cm^2
The parallelogram is 45 square meters. Multiply the base by the height. The triangle is 36 square meters. Multiply the base by the height and divide by two. Thus, the answer is 81.
Answer:
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
The null hypothesis
states that a population parameter (such as the mean, the standard deviation, and so on) is equal to a hypothesized value. We can write the null hypothesis in the form 
In this context, the investigator's null hypothesis should be that the average total weight is no different than the reported value by the FAA. We can write it in this form
.
The alternative hypothesis
states that a population parameter is smaller, greater, or different than the hypothesized value in the null hypothesis. We can write the alternative hypothesis in one of three forms

The investigator wants to know if the average weight of passengers flying on small planes exceeds the FAA guideline of the average total weight of 185 pounds. He should use
as his alternative hypothesis.
