Answer: The missing length is 120 {option C}

Step-by-step explanation: What we have in the question is a triangle placed on top of another triangle and as shown in the attached diagram we can separate them into triangles BFC and GFH.

A close observation shows that line BC is parallel to line GH. Hence we have two similar triangles, and we can determine their similarity ratios as follows;

BF/FC = GF/FH

Similarly BF/BC = GF/GH

We can also express the following ratio

FC/FH = BC/GH

Therefore to calculate the missing side, which is GF, we can use the ratio

FC/FH = FB/FG

30/100 = 36/FG

By cross multiplication we now have 30 (FG) = 100 (36)

30FG = 3600

Divide both sides of the equation by 30

FG = 120

Tyler does squats and pushups. He wants to increase the number of each type of exercise by 20% by the end of the month. He curre

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Tyler currently does 40 squats

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler does squats and pushups.

<u>Currently:</u>

Number of pushups = 25

Number of squats = x

Total number = 25 + x

<u>After increase:</u>

Number of pishups $=25\cdot (1+0.2)=1.2\cdot 25=30$

Number of squats $=x\cdot (1+0.2)=1.2x$

Total number $=30+1.2x$

If Tyler meets his goal, he will do a total of 13 more squats and pushups than he does now, thus

$(30+1.2x)-(25+x)=13\\ \\30+1.2x-25-x=13\\ \\1.2x-x=13-30+25\\ \\0.2x=8\\ \\2x=80\\ \\x=40$

IF l || m , find the values of x and y

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

x = 8

y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(7x + 12)° and (12x - 28)° are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent. Therefore:

(7x + 12)° = (12x - 28)°

Solve for x

7x + 12 = 12x - 28

Collect like terms

7x - 12x = - 12 - 28

-5x = -40

Divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5 = -40/-5

x = 8

(12x - 28)° + (9y - 77)° = 180° (linear pair)

To find y, plug in the value for x = 8.

12(8) - 28 + 9y - 77 = 180

96 - 28 + 9y - 77 = 180

Combine like terms

- 9 + 9y = 180

Add 9 to both sides

-9 + 9y + 9 = 180 + 9

9y = 189

Divide both sides by 9

9y/9 = 189/9

y = 21

16. From past experience, a company has found that in cartons of transistors, 92% contain no defective transistors, 3% contain o

Lynna [10]

Answer:

E(x)=0.15

V(x)=0.3075

S(x)=0.5545

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a discrete variable is calculated as:

$E(x)=x_1*p(x_1)+x_2*p(x_2)+...+x_n*p(n)$

where $x_1,x_2,...,x_n$ are the values that the variable can take and $p(x_1),p(x_2),...,p(x_n)$ are their respective probabilities.

So, if we call x the number of defective transistors in cartons, we can calculate the mean E(x) as:

$E(x)=(0*0.92)+(1*0.03)+(2*0.03)+(3*0.02)=0.15$

Because there are 0 defective transistor with a probability of 0.92, 1 defective transistor with a probability of 0.03, 2 defective transistors with a probability of 0.03 and 3 defective transistors with a probability of 0.01.

At the same way, the variance V(x) is calculated as:

$V(x)=E(x^2)-(E(x))^2$
