Answer: The height is 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is the total of the areas of the 6 faces of the rectangular prism. Given 286 square feet.

The base given is 5ft by 7ft, so that will give the area of 2 faces;

the other pairs of faces have the unknown height as one factor

5ft by h and 7ft by h . Create an equation with those factors:

2(5×7) + 2(5h) + 2(7h) = 286 Distribute and compile

2(35) + 10h + 14h = 286 70 + 24h = 286 . Solve for h

24h = 286 - 70 . 24h = 216 . 216 ÷ 24 = 9

h = 9

So the height of the rectangular prism is 9 feet

Hello
cos ( x + pi/2) =cos(x)cos(pi/2)-sin(x) sin(pi/2)
= cos(x)×0-sin(x) ×1
cos ( x + pi/2) = - sin(x)

A certain large manufacturing facility produces 20,000 parts each week. The manager of the facility estimates that about 1% of t

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

198 is the variance for the number of defective parts made each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of parts produced each week = 20,000

Percentage of defective parts = 1%

We have to calculate the variance for the number of defective parts made each week.

We treat defective part as a success.

P(Defective part) = 1% = 0.01

$p = 0.01$

Then the number defective parts follows a binomial distribution .

Formula for variance =

$\sigma^2 = np(1-p) = 20000(0.01)(1-0.01) = 198$

Thus, 198 is the variance for the number of defective parts made each week.
