Let
x,y, and z the long sides of the triangle 

we know that

x+y+z=170 ft------> equation 1
x/y=25/14----> y=14x/25------> equation 2
y/z=14/12-----> equation 3
x/z=25/12----> z=12x/25------> equation 4

substitute equation 2 and equation 4 in equation 1
x+[14x/25]+[12x/25]=170------> multiply by 25 both sides
25x+14x+12x=4250
51x=4250
x=4250/51
x=250/3
y=14x/25------> y=(250/3)*(14/25)----> y=140/3
z=12y/14-----> (140/3)*12/14----> z=40

Using Heron's formula,
Area of the triangle = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
where s is the semiperimeter
s=170/2-----> s=85 ft
Area=√85*[85-250/3]*[85-140/3]*[85-40]
Area=9.22*[1.67]*[38.33]*[45]------> Area=26558.21 ft²

the answer is
26558.21 ft²

A plant is 20 inches tall. If the plant grows 2h inches each week for the next 4 weeks, and h inches for each of the 2 weeks aft
FromTheMoon [43]
A) 20+10h

You know that you have 20 inches to start with, then it will grow 2h four times, or 8h total. Then it will grow h 2 times, or 2h. You add the 20, 8h, and 2h, to get 20+10h.

Hope this helps!

According to a study, 50 % of adult smokers started smoking before 21 years old. 5 smokers 21 years old or older are randomly se
belka [17]

Answer:

a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.1875 = 18.75%.

b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.96875 = 96.875%.

c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.3125 = 31.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each smoker, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they started smoking before 21 years old, or they did not. Smokers are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

50% of adult smokers started smoking before 21 years old.

This means that p = 0.5

5 smokers 21 years old or older are randomly selected, and the number of smokers who started smoking before 21 is recorded.

This means that n = 5.

a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125

P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.03125 + 0.15625 = 0.1875

The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.1875 = 18.75%.

b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is:

P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125

P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5) = 1 - 0.03125 = 0.96875

The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.96875 = 96.875%.

c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is P(X = 3). So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125

The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.3125 = 31.25%.
