Answer:

\huge\boxed{7.79 \ \text{feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have a 9 foot long ladder resting upon a wall, with an unknown height, but the ladder is 4.5 feet away from the wall.

This can be represented as a triangle, where x is the unknown side.

    |\

    |  \

x   |    \      9

    |      \

    |        \                  

    |_____\

    4.5

We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

However, we already know the hypotenuse and one leg. Therefore we can substitute inside the equation to find the missing value.

a^2 + 4.5^2 = 9^2\\\\a^2 + 20.25 = 81\\\\a^2 = 60.75\\\\a \approx 7.79

Hope this helped!

Samples of skin experiencing desquamation are analyzed for both moisture and melanin content. The results from 100 skin samples
zheka24 [161]

Answer: a. 0.40   b. 0.23  c . 0.435   d . 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

                                   melanin      content    Total

                                            high   low

moisture   high                     13      10                23

content    low                       47      30                77

 Total                                   60      40              <u> </u><u>100</u>

Let A denote the event that a sample has low melanin content, and let B denote the event that a sample has high moisture content.

a) Total skin samples has low melanin content = 10+30=40

P(A)=\dfrac{40}{100}=0.40

b) Total skin samples has high moisture content = 13+10=23

P(B) =\dfrac{23}{100}=0.23

c) A ∩ B =  Total skin samples has both low melanin content and high moisture content =10

P(A ∩ B) =\dfrac{10}{100}=0.10

Using conditional probability formula , P (A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P (A|B)=\dfrac{0.10}{0.23}=0.434782608696\approx0.435

d)  P (B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}

P (B|A)=\dfrac{0.10}{0.40}=0.25
