Prove that the median to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is half the hypotenuse,

Mathematics
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

D. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

M(0,2b)

N(2a,0)

Then the midpoint P coordinates are

P\left(\dfrac{2a+0}{2},\dfrac{0+2b}{2}\right)\Rightarrow P(a,b)

Use distance formula to find OP and MN:

OP=\sqrt{(a-0)^2+(b-0)^2}=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\\ \\MN=\sqrt{(2a-0)^2+(2b-0)^2}=\sqrt{4a^2+4b^2}=2\sqrt{a^2+b^2}

So,

MN=2OP

or

OP=1/2 MN

What is the l and w of a rectangular field of 40 ft perimeter?
shusha [124]
The perimeter doesn't tell you the dimensions.

With a 40-ft perimeter, there an infinite number of possibilities
for the length and with.  The only thing we know for sure is that
the sum of (length + width) is 20-ft.

The field could be . . .

Suppose a consumer product researcher wanted to find out whether a highlighter lasted less than the manufacturer's claim that th
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is H_0: \mu = 14

The alternate hypothesis is H_a: \mu < 14

The test statistic is t = -1.95.

The p-value is of 0.0292. This means that for a level of significance of 0.0292 and higher, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the  highlighters wrote for less than 14 continuous hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a consumer product researcher wanted to find out whether a highlighter lasted less than the manufacturer's claim that their highlighters could write continuously for 14 hours.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 14 hours, that is:

H_0: \mu = 14

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the mean is less than 14 hours, that is:

H_a: \mu < 14

The test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

14 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 14

X = 13.6 hours, s = 1.3 hours. Sample of 40:

In addition to the values of X and s given, we have that n = 40

Test statistic:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{13.6 - 14}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{40}}}

t = -1.95

The test statistic is t = -1.95.

P-value:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean lower than 13.6, which is a left tailed test, with t = -1.95 and 40 - 1 = 39 degrees of freedom.

Using a calculator, the p-value is of 0.0292. This means that for a level of significance of 0.0292 and higher, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the  highlighters wrote for less than 14 continuous hours.

tony bought 288 1 inch nails and 5 boxes of 2 inches. each box of 2 inch nails had equal amount of nails in them. he bought a to
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

each box has 52 in it

Step-by-step explanation:

first you subtract 288 from 548  =260

this is the total number of nails minus the total 1 inch nails

then you divide 260 by 5 because he has five boxes of 2 inch names which means that you have to account for the even number of nails in each box
