Use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²


c = hypotenuse (which means) = 53

a and b are equal to the side length
So a = 21.

Use the formula and solve.
21² + b² = 53²
441 + b² = 2809
b² = 2368
b = 48.66210024238575 or 8√37

The following graphs have a scale assigned to them: The area of each grid
dezoksy [38]

The graphs that are density curves for a continuous random variable are: Graph A, C, D and E.

<h3>How to determine the density curves?</h3>

In Geometry, the area of the density curves for a continuous random variable must always be equal to one (1). Thus, we would test this rule in each of the curves:

Area A = (1 × 5 + 1 × 3 + 1 × 2) × 0.1

Area A = 10 × 0.1

Area A = 1 sq. units (True).

For curve B, we have:

Area B = (3 × 3) × 0.1

Area B = 9 × 0.1

Area B = 0.9 sq. units (False).

For curve C, we have:

Area C = (3 × 4 - 2 × 1) × 0.1

Area C = 10 × 0.1

Area C = 1 sq. units (False).

For curve D, we have:

Area D = (1 × 4 + 1 × 3 + 1 × 2 + 1 × 1) × 0.1

Area D = 10 × 0.1

Area D = 1 sq. units (True).

For curve E, we have:

Area E = (1/2 × 4 × 5) × 0.1

Area E = 10 × 0.1

Area E = 1 sq. units (True).

An 11-inch string is cut into 3 equal pieces. Which expression shows the length of each piece?
slega [8]
Sense this string would only be 11 (in), and we are cutting it into 3 pieces, this would show us that we would then be dividing the 11 (in) string into 3 pieces. The expression would be below.

\boxed{11\div3}

Noah's oven thermometer gives a reading that is 2% greater than the actual temperature if the actual temperature is 350°F what w
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

<h2>357°F </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

actual reading= 350°F

thermometer reading 2% of the actual reading

Step two:

Required:

The thermometer reading

let us find 2% of 350°F

2/100*350°

=0.02*350

=7°F

Hence the thermometer reading is 7°F greater than  350°F

The thermometer reading is 350+7=357°F

Which is the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of -5?
kogti [31]

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given slope, or m, is -2 and the given y-intercept, or b, is -5.

The y-intercept equation is y = mx + b, so by knowing this equation all you need to do is plug in the given slope and y-intercept

y = -2x - 5
