Set up a proportion:

6 feet over 11 feet long equals x feet over 33 feet long

6/11 = x/33

198 = 11x

x = 18

The height of the tree is 18 feet tall

The man's height in ratio to the shadow casted is 6:11. Each feet of the man is 1.83333333 feet to the shadow. Divide 33 feet of the shadow by 1.83333333 to obtain 18 feet of the height of the tree.

Angl is a square. The equation of line NG is Y= 1/2 X - 6. Find the equation of line LG in slope intercept form given that the c
Irina18 [472]

Answer: y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.

Adjacent sides are perpendicular.  [Each angle is 90°]

The equation of line NG is Y=\dfrac12 X-6.

By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)

slope =\dfrac12

Let slope of LG be <em>n</em>, then

n\times \dfrac{1}{2}=-1 [Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]

\Rightarrow n=-2

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-

(y-b)=m(x-a)

Equation of LG :

(y-1)=-2(x-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=-2x-10\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-2x-9 [In intercept form]

A national survey interviewed 3800 people ages 18 and older nationwide by telephone. One question asked was the amount of gasoli
NeTakaya

Answer:

For this case a parameter represent the population data and for this case the parameter would be the true mean \mu who represent the amount of gasoline they used in the previous week

\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{3800} =11.75

And the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the true mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case a parameter represent the population data and for this case the parameter would be the true mean \mu who represent the amount of gasoline they used in the previous week

And in order to estimate the parameter of interest we use a survey of n =3800 and the sample mean who represent an statistic is given by:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And we got:

\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{3800} =11.75

And the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the true mean.

Can you draw an isosceles triangle with only one 80 degree angle?
aev [14]

Answer:

The triangle is 50,50 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees

We only want one 80 degree angle.  That means the other two angles have to be the same, since it is an isosceles triangle.  Call the other angle x

x+x+80 = 180

2x+80 =180

Subtract 80 from each side

2x+80-80=180-80

2x =100

Divide by 2

2x/2=100/2

x = 50

Each of the other angles in the triangle would have to equal 50 degrees

The triangle is 50,50 80
