ANSWER

D. 25 feet

EXPLANATION

The height of the wall,h, the taut wire and the distance from the base of the pole to the point on the ground, formed a right triangle.

According to the Pythagoras Theorem, the sum of the length of the squares of the two shorter legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.

Let the hypotenuse ( the length of the ) taught wire be,l.

Then

{l}^{2}  =  {h}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}

{l}^{2}  =  {20}^{2}  +  {15}^{2}

{l}^{2}  =  400 + 225

{l}^{2}  =  625

l=  \sqrt{625}  = 25ft

Help after this I only have 5 points

We break all the bracket out :

-0.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

2/5 = 0.4
-3/4 = -0.75
So, we have : -0.75 + 0.4 + 0.4 - 0.75
= (-0.75 - 0.75) + (0.4 + 0.4) = -1.5 + 0.8 = -0.7

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

95% confidence interval: (0.5717,0.8283)          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 49

p = 70% = 0.7

Alpha, α = 0.05

The confidence interval can be calculated as:

p \pm z_{critical}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

0.7 \pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.7(1-0.7)}{49}} ) = 0.7 \pm 0.1283 =(0.5717,0.8283)

95% confidence interval: (0.5717,0.8283)

Answer:

Expression: 48x + 120y & Area = 1,008 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

12(4x + 10y)

multiple the 12 into 4x + 10y

12 x 4x = 48x

12 x 10y = 120y

48x + 120y

x = 6 ft

y = 4 ft

Substitite in numbers

48x + 120y

48(6) + 120(6)

Multiply

288 + 720

Add

288 + 720 = 1,008 square feet
