Answer:

The height of the flag pole is 20 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A rope 29 ft long rope is tied to the top of a flag pole.

The rope is staked to the ground 21 ft away from the base of the pole.

As shown in the figure given below.

By using the pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

AC² = AB² + BC²

As

AC = 29 feet

BC = 21 feet

Put in the above

29² = AB² + 21²

841 = AB² + 441

841 -441 = AB²

400 = AB²

AB = \sqrt{400}

AB = 20 feet

Therefore the height of the flag pole is 20 feet .

The Pythagorean Theorem: L1² + L2² = H²
L2² = H² - L1²
L2² = 29² - 21²
L2² = 841 - 441 
L2² = 400 (find the square root of both sides)
L2 = 20 The pole is 20 ft tall

A, B, and C are midpoints of ∆XYZ. What is the length of yz
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

When you join 2 consecutive midpoints with a line between them, the length of that line is 1/2 the length of the side opposite the line you just drew.

In other words 24 is 1/2 the length of yz.

Solution

1/2 yz = AB

AB = 24

1/2 yz = 24                 Multiply both sides by 2

2(1/2 yz) = 2*24

yz = 48

Answer

yz = 48

The time spent waiting in the line is approximately normally distributed. The mean waiting time is 6 minutes and the variance of
White raven [17]

Answer:

0.3075 = 30.75% probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 6, \sigma = \sqrt{4} = 2

Find the probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{7 - 6}{2}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a pvalue of 0.6915

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3075

0.3075 = 30.75% probability that a person will wait for more than 7 minutes.

Help! Solve this for the points
stiv31 [10]
Formula for slope is M=y2-y1/x2/x1
Take two points from the graph and insert them into the formula. 13,32 and 7,33 M=32-33/13-7 which equals -1/6 this is already simplified I believe

Answer: -1/6

Sorry if anything is incorrect though.

Which point is in the solution set of the given system of inequalities 3x+y>-3,x+2y<4
Sever21 [200]

We have these system of inequalities:

\left \{ {{3x+y>-3} \atop {x+2y


In this way, we have two straight lines that can be solved as follows:


(1) \ 3x+y=-3 \therefore y=-3x-3 \\ \\ (2) \ x+2y=4 \therefore y=-\frac{x}{2}+2


This two lines has been plotted in the Figure below and the region of the inequality is indicated in gray color. Therefore, each point in this region satisfies the system of inequalities. To illustrate this, let's take a point within the gray region, say (0, 0):


\left \{ {{3x+y>-3} \atop {x+2y-3} \atop {(0)+2(0)-3} \atop {0
