If we know your Pythagorean Triples we can immediately recognize that the last choice is a right triangle:
8² + 15² = 17²
If you don't know your Pythagorean Triples, it's worth learning the first few off the list because teachers use them in problems all the time. But for now let's just exhaustively check the Pythagorean Theorem for each triangle. We don't have to multiply everything out; we can analyze the common factors. If two have a common factor that the third one doesn't have, there's no way for the Pythagorean Theorem to add up.
Clearly 5²+15² is a multiple of 5 but 18² isn't so that one isn't a right triangle.
6²+12² is a multiple of 6, 16² isn't a multiple of 6, not an RT.
15²-5² is a multiple of 5, 13² isn't, no joy.
8²+15² = 64 + 225 = 289 = 17² -- that's a real right triangle, a valid Pythagorean Triple.
The question wants us to find 3 times the volume of the pool.
This is because we are told that the pool must be filled 3 times during the summer and asked how many cubic feet of water is required to fill the pool all summer.
Step 1: Find the volume of the pool.
Volume is calculated by multiplying length by width by height.
Pool length = 5 ft.
Pool width = 4 ft.
Pool height = 2 ft.
Pool volume = 5 • 4 • 2
5 • 4 • 2 = 40
The volume of the pool is 40 cubic feet.
Step 2: Find 3 times the volume of the pool.
Volume = 40 ft.^3
3 times volume = 3 • 40 ft.^3
3 • 40 ft.^3 = 120 ft.^3
3 times the volume of the pool is 120 cubic feet.
Answer:
The pool requires 120 cubic feet of water in order to be filled enough over the course of the summer.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
14.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
14^2 + 3^2 = c^2
196 + 9 = c^2
205 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(205) = sqrt(c^2)
14.31782106 = c
Rounding to the nearest tenth
14.3 = c
Answer:
The answer is 480 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times 4 is 12 and 12 times 5 is 60 and 60 time 8 is 480
Answer:
The score that cuts off the bottom 2.5% is 48.93.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean 
and standard deviation 
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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.
In this question, we have that:
What is the score that cuts off the bottom 2.5%
This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.025, so X when Z = -1.96.
The score that cuts off the bottom 2.5% is 48.93.
