The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 x b x height. But, we don't have the height here. To find the height, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

With Pythagorean theorem, we'll be finding one of the legs. If we split the original triangle in 1/2 from the vertex to the base, we now have two right triangles. Both of these right triangles have a 30 cm hypotenuse and one 13 cm leg (remember we divided the entire original triangle in half).

30^2 = 13^2 + b^2

169 + b^2 = 900

b^2 = 731

b = $\sqrt{731}$

Now that we know the height of the triangle, we can find the area.

A = 1/2 x 26 x $\sqrt{731}$

A = 13 x $\sqrt{731}$

A = 351.48

The final area, rounded to the nearest whole number is 351 centimeters squared.

Note: Please know that depending on if the answer rounded $\sqrt{731}$ before using it to find the area, the final answer may then be rounded to 352.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

$8.2-2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=6.86$

$8.2+2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=9.54$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (6.86;9.54) And the error is given by:

$ME= 2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}} =1.338$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=8.2$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=2.2$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$8.2-2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=6.86$

$8.2+2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}}=9.54$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (6.86;9.54) And the error is given by:

$ME= 2.58\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{18}} =1.338$
