Hi!
This is a fun one, as it delves into basic trigonometry.
We're going to use the Pythagorean theorem here, which says that for right triangles where "c" is the hypotenuse,
a² + b² = c²
We have to split this large triangle into two parts, both of which are right triangles. (This is why they drew a line in the middle to tell you that the larger triangle is composed of two right triangles.)
Let's do the one on the right first.
We know that the length of the hypotenuse is 10, and that the length of one of the legs is 6.5. If we plug this into our equation, we'll get the length of the other leg. I'm choosing "b" to be 6.5, but it really doesn't matter if you pick "a" or "b", so long as you reserve "c" for the hypotenuse (longest side).
a² + 6.5² = 10²
a² + 42.25 = 100
a² = 57.75
√a² = √57.75
a ≈ 7.6
Therefore, the length of DC is about 7.6.
Find the length of AD using the same method (7.5 is the hypotenuse "c", and 6.5 is one of the legs "a" or "b"). Then, once you have AD, add the lengths of AD and DC to get AC.
Have a great one!
Answer:
using quaderatic expression solving problems of algebraic expressions.
Step-by-step explanation:
no1.
take the smallest side to be x
and the longest side to be x-1/3
then expand the expression equating to 30.
then solve for x value
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be a random variable that represents the first Jonathan apple chosen at random that has bitter pit.
a) P(X = n) = q(n-1)p, where q = 1 - p.
From the information given, probability if success, p = 12.6/100 = 0.126
b) for n = 3, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is
P(n = 3) = 0.096
For n = 5, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is
P(n = 5) = 0.074
For n = 12, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is
P(n = 12) = 0.8
c) For n ≥ 5, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is
P(n ≥ 5) = 0.58
d) the expected number of apples that must be examined to find the first one with bitter pit is the mean.
Mean = 1/p
Mean = 1/0.126 = 7.9
Approximately 8 apples
