You didn't provide more information regarding triangle but from given options, it seems that triangle has ratio from shortest side to longest side would be 5 : 12 : 13

So 13 would be hypotenuse since it is longest.

Now A cannot be right angle because tangent is not defined at 90°.

Also tan(A) would be ratio of opponent side to adjacent side (think SOH CAH TOA)

So either opposite side would be 5 or 12, and adjacent side would be 12 or 5 respectively.

So the answer is either 5 / 12 or 12 / 5 but only option provided is 12/5 so that would be your answer.

Final answer: 12 / 5

Un alumno multiplica un número por 32 en lugar de multiplicarlo por 23, obteniendo un producto mayor en 54 al producto original.

romanna [79]

Answer:

La suma de cifras del producto original es igual a 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

De acuerdo a la información proporcionada, si multiplicas un número "x" por 32 su resultado sería igual al producto original "y" más 54 dado que dice que se obtiene un producto mayor en 54 al producto original, lo que se puede expresar de la siguiente forma:

32x=y+54

Además, se puede inferir a partir del enunciado que si el número x se hubiera multiplicado por 23 el resultado habría sido el producto original que lo denominamos como "y", por lo que puedes decir que:

y=23x

Ahora puedes reemplazar y=23x en 32x=y+54 y despejar x:

32x=23x+54

32x-23x=54

9x=54

x=54/9

x=6

Finalmente, puedes reemplazar el valor de x en y=23x:

y=23x

y=23*6

y=138

Suma de cifras: 1+3+8 = 12

De acuerdo a esto, la respuesta es que la suma de cifras es igual a 12.

A sociologist develops a test to measure attitudes towards public transportation, and 27 randomly selected subjects are given th

taurus [48]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 2.0518

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

$n = 27, s = 21.4$ . So

$M = 2.0518\frac{21.4}{\sqrt{27}}$

$M = 8.45$

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

Identify the polygon with vertices A(5,0), B(2,4), C(−2,1), and D(1,−3), and then find the perimeter and area of the polygon. HE

inn [45]

Answer:

Part 1) The polygon is a square

Part 2) The perimeter is equal to $20\ units$

Part 3) The area is equal to $25\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$A(5,0), B(2,4), C(-2,1),D(1,-3)$

Plot the points

see the attached figure

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Find the distance AB

$A(5,0),B(2,4)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(2-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$AB=5\ units$

Find the distance BC

$B(2,4), C(-2,1)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$BC=5\ units$

Find the distance CD

$C(-2,1),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$CD=5\ units$

Find the distance AD

$A(5,0),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-0)^{2}+(1-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$AD=5\ units$

we have that

AB=BC=CD=AD

Find the distance BD (diagonal)

$B(2,4),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-4)^{2}+(1-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$BD=\sqrt{50}\ units$

Verify if the polygon is a square

If the triangle BDA is a right triangle, then the polygon is a square

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$BD^{2}=AD^{2}+AB^{2}$

substitute

$(\sqrt{50})^{2}=5^{2}+5^{2}$

$50=50$ -----> is true

The triangle BDA is a right triangle

therefore

The polygon is a square

Find the Area of the polygon

The area of a square is equal to

$A=b^{2}$

we have

$b=5\ units$

$A=5^{2}=25\ units^{2}$

Find the perimeter of the polygon

The perimeter of a square is equal to

$P=4b$

we have

$b=5\ units$

$P=4(5)=20\ units$
