In a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle the two smaller sides are =. So when you use
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, you need a and b both to find the area.

So call both of them = b^2.

Equation and solution
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
b^2 + b^2 = c^2
2b^2 = c^2
c = 24
b = ???

2 b^2 = 24^2
2 b^2 = 576 Divide by 2
b^2 = 288 I'm going to leave this as it is for the moment. You'll see what in a second.

Area of a triangle
Area of a triangle = 1/2 h * b
But the height and base are the 2 smaller equal sides of a 45_45_90 triangle
so h = b
base = b

Area of a triangle = 1/2 b^2 The equalities above tell you that. h and b of the triangle are equal.

Area = 1/2 288 feet^2
Area = 144 feet^2

Under average driving conditions, the life lengths of automobile tires of a certain brand are found to follow an exponential dis

wariber [46]

Answer:

a) $P(X>30000)=1-( 1- e^{-\frac{30000}{30000}})=e^{-1}=0.368$

b) $P(X>30000|X>15000)=P(X>15000)=1-( 1- e^{-\frac{15000}{30000}})=e^{-0.5}=0.607$

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

$P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0$

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "life lengths of automobile tires of a certain brand" and we know that the distribution is given by:

$X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{30000})$
