FG = FE
3n - 4 = n + 8
2n = 12
  n = 6

FG = 3(6) - 4
FG = 18 - 4
FG = 14

We can use similar triangles.  Since we have two right triangles that have two equal angles, that means all 3 angles are congruent.  

Thus triangle EDF is similar to GDF.

Then we can set up a proportion.

(3n-4)/(n+8) = DF/DF   (where DF is the length of they hypotenuse, but since they are the same length, DF/DF is just equal to 1.)

So:  (3n-4)/(n+8) = 1

Now just solve:  3n - 4 = n + 8

2n = 12

n = 6

Therefore FG = 3(6) - 4 = 18 - 4 = 14

FG = 14

You want to find out how sleep deprivation affects motor performance. To study this, you have sleep-deprived subjects (such as p
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

179.5 - 180.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is a continuous variable. The minimum sleep time per night per subject here, is given as 1 minute.

Larger sleep times could be 1.08 minutes, 2.99 minutes, and other continuous/infinite values. Remember there are 60seconds in a minute and in-between seconds, there are milliseconds. So time is a continuous variable.

In this case though, our measurement of time is given in whole number units (integers). Our precision of measurement is 1 unit. We have an observed value of 180 minutes (the first subject's sleep time). The real limits of this value are 179.5 to 180.5

Find the surface area of the pyramid. The side lengths of the base are equal. Square pyramid with base edge of 12 centimeters, a
sdas [7]

Answer:

the surface area of the square pyramid is 576.66 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the surface area of square pyramid is given below:

A = a^2  + 2a × √a^2 ÷ √4 + √h^2

where

a = 12 cm

h = 17 cm

Now put the value of a and h in the above formula

= 12^2 + 2(12) × √12^2 ÷ √4 + √17^2

= 576.66 cm^2

hence, the surface area of the square pyramid is 576.66 cm^2

suppose a weather app says that the probability of rain today is 30%. What is the complement of the event ""rain today"" what is
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The complement event would be: "No rain today"

Its probability would be 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the event:

A= rain today

The probability of rain today is 30%

P(A)=30%=0.3

The complement event has all the values that are not included in the event.

The complement event would be:

A'= No rain today

The probability of a event is the subtraction between 1 and the complement event:

P(A')=1-P(A)

Then, the probability of the event "No rain today" will be:

P(A')=1-0.3=0.7=70%
