Answer:

A. x = 5 (Equation below)

B. AC = 9 | BD = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Since we know the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, we know that the two bottom parts of the diagonal BD (2x - 8 and x - 4) are congruent to the diagonal AC (x + 2) . This means you can just equal them together and get the value of x:

2x - 8 + x - 4 = x + 2

3x - 12 = x + 2

3x = x + 14

2x = 14

x = 7

B. Just plug in 5 for x:

AC = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

BD = 2x - 8 + x -4 = 3x - 12 = 21 - 12 = 9

oranges=$5.85

apples=$5.36

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost for each fruit you would multiply the number of fruit by the cost.

bananas=3*4.24=$12.72

grapes=4*2.37=$9.48

oranges=3*1.95=$5.85

apples=2*2.68=$5.36

Solve the triangle.

velikii [3]

Given 2 sides and 1 included angle, the area of a triangle can be solved using the formula:

Area = ab (sin C)/2

Substituting the given values:

Area = 10 * 23 * (sin 95)/2
Area = 114.56 sq. units

A company interested in lumbering rights for a certain tract of slash pine trees is told that the mean diameter of these trees i

brilliants [131]

Answer:

97.6% of the trees will have diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 12 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.2 inches

We are given that the distribution of diameter of tree is a mound shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches)

$P(7.6 \leq x \leq 18.6) = P(\displaystyle\frac{7.6 - 12}{2.2} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{18.6-12}{2.2}) = P(-2 \leq z \leq 3)\\\\= P(z \leq 3) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.999 - 0.023 = 0.976= 97.6\%$

$P(7.6 \leq x \leq 18.6) = 97.6\%$

97.6% of the trees will have diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches.
