The figure is a parallelogram. One diagonal measures 28 units. A parallelogram is shown. It has side lengths 21, 20, 21, and 20.

The length of a diagonal is 28. Is the figure a rectangle? Explain.

Answer: Second option, it is not a rectangle because the sides don't meet at right angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is a shape with 4 sides, such that we have two pairs of parallel sides, where the length of the parallel sides is equal.

so we have two parallel sides with length L and two parallel sides with length L'.

In this figure ,we can see two sides with length 20 and other two with length 21, and this is a rectangle only if the sides meet at 90°degree angles (this would mean that the opposite sides are parallel)

to see this, we can think that the triangle formed by the diagonal and two sides is a triangle rectangle, then using the Pythagorean theorem we should have that:

20^2 + 21^2 = 28^2

841 = 784

So this is not a triangle rectangle, meaning that the angle between the side of 20 and the side of 21 is not a right triangle, then the figure is not a rectangle.

The correct option is the second one.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

If the soccer coach wants to know how many students made 15 or more goals then she should use the histogram because it is split in to different ranges so it’s easy for her to know how many students made 15 or more goals. If the soccer coach wants to know the least number of goals made she should use the dot plot because that shows the specific number of goals each student made while the histogram only gives an range.

What is the solution to the linear equation?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{p=1}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{2}{5}+p=\dfrac{4}{5}+\dfrac{3}{5}p\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 5}\\\\5\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{2}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}+5p=5\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{4}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}+5\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{3}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}p\\\\2+5p=4+3p\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\5p=2+3p\qquad\text{subtract 3p from both sides}\\\\2p=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\p=1

Kaylis [27]
<h3>Answer:    2880 pounds per square foot</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

psi = pounds per square inch

1 foot = 12 inches

1 square foot = 144 square inches

I squared both sides to get the second equation. Think of a 12 by 12 square representing 12 inches along each side, so that leads to 12*12 = 144 square inches being the same as 1 square foot.

That last equation helps us convert from square inches to square feet like so:

20 \text{ psi} = \frac{20 \text{ pounds}}{1 \text{ square inch}}\\\\20 \text{ psi} = \frac{20 \text{ pounds}}{1 \text{ square inch}}*\frac{144 \text{ square inches}}{1 \text{ square foot}}\\\\20 \text{ psi} = \frac{20*144}{1*1}*\frac{\text{ pounds}}{\text{ square foot}}\\\\20 \text{ psi} = \frac{2880 \text{ pounds}}{1 \text{ square foot}}\\\\20 \text{ psi} = 2880 \frac{\text{ pounds}}{\text{ square foot}}\\\\20 \text{ psi} = 2880 \text{ pounds per square foot}\\\\

Notice in the jump from the second step to the third step, we have the "square inches" unit cancel out when dividing. All that's left is "pounds" up top and "square foot" down below.

In short, we simply multiply by 144 to go from 20 to 2880.

A vending machine automatically pours soft drinks into cups. The amount of soft drink dispensed into a cup is normally distribut
labwork [276]

Answer:

a) P(X>8)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{8-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{8-7.6}{0.4})=P(Z>1)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the standard normal table or excel:

P(Z>1)=1-P(Z

b)P(X

And we can find this probability using the standard normal table or excel:

P(Z

c) For this case we have a total of 868 cups and we know that the fraction of cups that will be overflow is 0.159, so then the expected number of cups overflow would be:

N = 868*0.159= 138.012 \approx 138

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of soft frink of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(7.6,0.4)  

Where \mu=7.6 and \sigma=0.4

We are interested on this probability

P(X>8)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>8)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{8-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{8-7.6}{0.4})=P(Z>1)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the standard normal table or excel:

P(Z>1)=1-P(Z

Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the standard normal table or excel:

P(Z

Part c

For this case we have a total of 868 cups and we know that the fraction of cups that will be overflow is 0.159, so then the expected number of cups overflow would be:

N = 868*0.159= 138.012 \approx 138
