A right triangle has an area 18 square inches.

1 answer:

7 0

The area of any triangle is A = (1/2) (base) (height).

If the right triangle is not sitting
on its hypotenuse, then one leg
is the base, and the other leg is
the height: A = (1/2) (base leg) (height leg) .

If the triangle is isosceles, then
the legs are equal: A = (1/2) (either leg)²

You said the area is 18 in²: 18 in² = (1/2) (leg²)

Multiply each side by 2 : 36 in² = leg²

Square root each side: 6 in = leg

The vector (a) is a multiple of the vector (2i +3j) and (b) is a multiple of (2i+5j) The sum (a+b) is a multiple of the vector (

kow [346]

Answer:

$\|a\| = 5\sqrt{13}$ .

$\|b\| = 3\sqrt{29}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $m$ , $n$ , and $k$ be scalars such that:

$\displaystyle a = m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) = m\, \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 3\end{bmatrix}$ .

$\displaystyle b = n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) = n\, \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 5\end{bmatrix}$ .

$\displaystyle (a + b) = k\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) = k\, \begin{bmatrix}8 \\ 15\end{bmatrix}$ .

The question states that $\| a + b \| = 34$ . In other words:

$k\, \sqrt{8^{2} + 15^{2}} = 34$ .

$k^{2} \, (8^{2} + 15^{2}) = 34^{2}$ .

$289\, k^{2} = 34^{2}$ .

Make use of the fact that $289 = 17^{2}$ whereas $34 = 2 \times 17$ .

$\begin{aligned}17^{2}\, k^{2} &= 34^{2}\\ &= (2 \times 17)^{2} \\ &= 2^{2} \times 17^{2} \end{aligned}$ .

$k^{2} = 2^{2}$ .

The question also states that the scalar multiple here is positive. Hence, $k = 2$ .

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned} (a + b) &= k\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) \\ &= 2\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) \\ &= 16\, \vec{i} + 30\, \vec{j}\\ &= \begin{bmatrix}16 \\ 30 \end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}$ .

$(a + b)$ could also be expressed in terms of $m$ and $n$ :

$\begin{aligned} a + b &= m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) + n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) \\ &= (2\, m + 2\, n) \, \vec{i} + (3\, m + 5\, n) \, \vec{j} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} a + b &= m\, \begin{bmatrix}2\\ 3 \end{bmatrix} + n\, \begin{bmatrix} 2\\ 5 \end{bmatrix} \\ &= \begin{bmatrix}2\, m + 2\, n \\ 3\, m + 5\, n\end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}$ .

Equate the two expressions and solve for $m$ and $n$ :

$\begin{cases}2\, m + 2\, n = 16 \\ 3\, m + 5\, n = 30\end{cases}$ .

$\begin{cases}m = 5 \\ n = 3\end{cases}$ .

Hence:

$\begin{aligned} \| a \| &= \| m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j})\| \\ &= m\, \| (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) \| \\ &= 5\, \sqrt{2^{2} + 3^{2}} = 5 \sqrt{13}\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} \| b \| &= \| n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j})\| \\ &= n\, \| (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) \| \\ &= 3\, \sqrt{2^{2} + 5^{2}} = 3 \sqrt{29}\end{aligned}$ .

An angle measures 42.6° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Complementary angle 1st = 66.3°

Complementary angle 2nd = 23.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume;

Complementary angle 1st = a

Complementary angle 2nd = a - 42.6°

Sum of complementary angles = 90°

So,

a + a - 42.6 = 90

a = 66.3

Complementary angle 1st = 66.3°

Complementary angle 2nd = 23.7°

For consumers making purchases online, 60% have devices made by Apple, 85% own a smartphone, and 75% use Venmo. Also, out of the

kompoz [17]

Answer:

The probability that a customer selected at random has an Apple device or own a smartphone or both is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of costumers that have a device made by Apple = 60%

The percentage of customers that own a smartphone = 85%

The percentage of customers that use Venmo = 80%

The percentage out of the smartphone users that use Venmo = 80%

The probability both independent events A and B occurring = P(A) × P(B)

The exclusive probability of A or B occurring P(A XOR B) = P(A) + P(B) - 2 × P(A ∩ B)

Therefore, the probability of A or B or both occurring is given as follows;

P(A or B or Both) = P(A) + P(B) - 2 × P(A ∩ B) + P(A) × P(B)

Where A represent the percentage of costumers that have a device made by Apple and let B represent the percentage of users that have a smartphone, we have;

P(A or B or Both) = 0.6 + 0.85 - 2×0.6×0.85 + 0.6 × 0.85 = 0.94

Therefore, the probability that a customer selected at random has an Apple device or own a smartphone (or both), P(A or B or Both) = 0.94
