Answer:

D. 10.49

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

Here we have two right triangles formed by dividing a larger right triangle by the Altitude (height) of the larger right triangle.

In this special case, all 3 triangles (2 small and 1 large) are SIMILAR and hence we can use the ratios of similar triangles to solve this.

In our case, ΔGFE is similar to ΔGHF

hence FG/GE = GH/FG

We are given that GE = 10 and GH = 11, hence

FG/10 = 11/FG

FG² = (10)(11)

FG² = 110

FG = ±√110

FG= 10.49

A rental car company claims the mean time to rent a car on their website is 60 seconds with a standard deviation of 22 seconds.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Since the calculated value of Z does not fall in the critical region we accept our null hypothesis that mean = 60 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

State the null hypothesis

H0: u = 60against the claim

Ha u≠   60   (this is a two tailed test)

Sample size n= 36

Sample mean=X`= 55

Population mean = u= 60

The significance level α = 0.05

Standard deviation= Sd = 22 seconds

Z= X`- u / Sd /√n

Z= 55- 60 / 22/√6

z= - 5/22/6

Z= -1.3635

The value of z from the table is Z∝/2= ±1.96

The critical region is less than - 1.96 and greater than 1.96.

Since the calculated value of Z does not fall in the critical region we accept our null hypothesis that mean = 60 seconds

I am driving from oakland california to erlanger kentucky. The distance is 2,364.6 miles. My gas tank gets 25 miles per gallon o
solong [7]

Answer:$1655.22

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance from Oakland California to Erlanger Kentucky is 2,364.6 miles. The gas tank gets 25 miles per gallon on the highway. It means that total number of gallons required to cover the distance from Oakland California to Erlanger Kentucky would be

2364.6/25 = 472.92 gallons

If the gas cost $3.50 per gallon, it means that the total amount that it will cost to drive from Oakland California to Erlanger Kentucky would be

472.92 × 3.5 = $1655.22

Full steps and all reasons, thanks!​

You can focus on the two sub-triangles ABC and ACD

We know that they are both right triangles, because we're given that AC and BD are perpendicular.

The sides AB and AD are the hypothenuses of these triangles, so we know their length through the pythagorean theorem:

AD^2 = AC^2+CD^2

AB^2 = AC^2+BC^2

But since we're given BC=CD, the expressions for AD and AB are actually the same expression. This proves that AD=AB, and thus that the triangle is isosceles.

Lisa has a certain amount of money. She spent $39 and has 3/4 of the original amount left. How much money did she have originall
antiseptic1488 [7]
We know that she spent $39, and has 3/4 of the original amount left. Our goal is to find the original amount. We can use the equation. x - 39 = 3/4x. Once we subtract x on the left hand side, we get -39 = -1/4x. Once we multiply -39 by -4, we get 146. She originally had $156.
