A sail is in the form of a right triangle that is two times as high as it is wide. The sail is made from 4 square meters of mate

rial. WHAT IS ITS HEIGHT???

Kamila [148]4 years ago

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4 m

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We know that a triangle has half the area of a rectangle of the same height and width. That is, the rectangle that is as high and wide as the sail will have an area of 8 m². Of course, the area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width.

We know that 2×4 = 8 and that 4 is twice as much as 2. Thus the 4 dimension corresponds to the height of the sail, and the 2 dimension corresponds to its width.

The sail is 4 m high.

The vertices of triangle rst are r(–1,–2), s(2,–1), and t(4,2). If δjkl ∼ δrst and the length of kl is units , what is the lengt
NemiM [27]

Answer:

3.16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given that the triangles JKL and the triangle RST are congruent.

That implies that, the length of the side JK, KL, and JL is equivalent to the length of the sides RS, ST, and RT respectively.

Now, to find the length of JK we need to find the length of the side RS. The coordinates of the points R and S are (-1,-2) and (2,-1).

The length of the side RS is equal to the distance between point R and S.

RS =\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

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

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

=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}=3.16

Now that we have the length of the side RS, and the triangles JKL and RST are congruent therefore, the length of the side JK is 3.16 units.

KonstantinChe [14]
<span>Standard deviation of first data set = 5879.1 Standard deviation of second data set = 14768.78 The second data set is more variable. The basic definition of standard deviation is the square root of the mean of the squares of the difference from the mean. It's a bit of a mouthful, but easy enough to do. For the first data set, first calculate the mean. (28995 + 37534 + 31361 + 27087 + 20966 + 37741) / 6 = 30614 Now calculate the square of the differences from the mean (28995 - 30614)^2 = 2621161 (37534 - 30614)^2 = 47886400 (31361 - 30614)^2 = 558009 (27087 - 30614)^2 = 12439729 (20966 - 30614)^2 = 93083904 (37741 - 30614)^2 = 50794129 And now the average of the squares (2621161 + 47886400 + 558009 + 12439729 + 93083904 +50794129) / 6 = 34563888.67 And finally, take the square root to get the standard deviation. sqrt(34563888.67) = 5879.1 Now for the second data set of western states. First, the mean (72964 + 70763 + 101510 + 62161 + 66625 + 54339) / 6 = 71393.67 Now the squares of the differences (72964 - 71393.67)^2 = 2465946.778 (70763 - 71393.67)^2 = 397740.4444 (101510 - 71393.67)^2 = 906993533.4 (62161 - 71393.67)^2 = 85242133.78 (66625 - 71393.67)^2 = 22740181.78 (54339 - 71393.67)^2 = 290861655.1 And the average of the squares is 218116865.2 Finally, the square root of the average is 14768.78 So the standard deviation of the 2nd data set is 14768.78 And since the standard deviation of the 2nd data set is larger than the standard deviation of the 1st data set, that means that the 2nd data set is more variable.</span>

3/4 -3/8 in simplest form?
solmaris [256]
3/4 and 3/8 have to have equal denominators, so multiply 3/4 by 2/2 because it's equal to one, so it doesn't change the value of the fraction, but it makes the denominator (the number on the bottom) bigger. 
3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8
Now subtract.
6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8
Don't subtract the denominators. 
3/8 can't be simplified.
