Mathematics
1 answer:
madam [21]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

65 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the perpendicular dropped from the right angle to the hypotenuse be h units.

Now by geometric mean property:

h =  \sqrt{144 \times 25}  \\ h = 12 \times 5 \\ h = 60 \: units \\ Next \: by \: Pythagoras \: Theorem:  \\  {x}^{2}  =  {h}^{2}  +  {25}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  =  {60}^{2}  +  {25}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 3600 + 625 \\  {x}^{2}  = 4225 \\ x =  \sqrt{4225}  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{x = 65\: units }}

Find two numbers whose sum is 55 and whose product is 646​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

17 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 55......x = 55 - y

x * y = 646

y(55 - y) = 646

55y - y^2 = 646

y^2 - 55y + 646 = 0

(y - 17)(y - 38) = 0

y - 17 = 0       y - 38 = 0

y = 17            y = 38

ur numbers are 17 and 38

50% of population does not smoke, 20% are heavy smokers and 30% are light smokers. if heavy smokers are twice as likely to die a
Sidana [21]

Based on the calculation below, the likelihood that if someone died they were a heavy smoker is 42.11%.

<h3>How do we calculate the likelihood of an occurrence?</h3>

Let:

Likelihood that a non-smoker will die = x

Therefore, we have:

Likelihood that a light smoker will die = 2 * x = 2x

Likelihood that a heavy smoker will die= 2 * 2x = 4x

From the above, we have:

Expected number of non smokers that will die = 50% * x = 0.5x

Expected number of light smokers that will die = 30% * 2x = 60%x = 0.6x

Expected number of heavy smokers that will die = 20% * 4x = 80%x = 0.8x

Total expected = 0.5x + 0.6x + 0.8x = 1.9x

Therefore, we have:

Likelihood that a heavy smoker died = Expected number of heavy smokers that will die / Total expected = 0.8x / 1.9x = 0.4211, or 42.11%
