Answer:
x=4
y=4√5
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up 3 right triangles and mark their respective angles. The largest will have sides (in typical a,b,c[hypotenuse] order) y, z, and 10. The middle 8, x, and y. The smallest x, 2, and z.
Then since they are all similar triangles, using the midde and smaller triangles, set up the proportionin which both A sides when divided are equal to the B sides.
So 8/x = x/2
Cross multiply and get 16=x^2.
The square root of 16 is 4, so x is 4.
Then using the larger and middle triangles, do the same for the A and C sides.
So y/8 = 10/y.
Cross multiply and get 80=y^2.
Find the square root of it, which since it doesn't have a perfect square, you use a calculator or the whatever theorem and get √4*4*5 or simply 4√5.
So x = 4 and y = 4√5
Answer:
a) 10
b) 15
c) 190
d)
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start with the generic item (d). In order to draw a chord we need to pick two endpoints from the total of n points of the circle and draw the line between them. The total amount of lines we can draw is equivalent to the total pair of points we can pick to draw them.
In other words, we can draw as many chords as the amount of subsets of 2 elements we can pick from a set of n. That number is the combinatorial number of n with 2 given by
a) If n = 5, the answer is
there are 10 possibilities
b) for n = 6
15 possibilities
c) for n = 20, we have
possibilities.
I hope that works for you!
I believe 11 centimeters is the answer.
Answer:
I'm so confused
Step-by-step explanation:
What are u supposed to do
In a symmetric histogram, you have the same number of points to the left and to the right of the median. An example of this is the distribution {1,2,3,4,5}. We have 3 as the median and there are two items below the median (1,2) and two items above the median (4,5).
If we place another number into this distribution, say the number 5, then we have {1,2,3,4,5,5} and we no longer have symmetry. We can fix this by adding in 1 to get {1,1,2,3,4,5,5} and now we have symmetry again. Think of it like having a weight scale. If you add a coin on one side, then you have to add the same weight to the other side to keep balance.
