The width of the TV is 27.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Diagonal of TV = 32 inch

Height of TV = 15.7 inch

The diagonal makes the TV into a right triangle,

Therefore,

Diagonal = hypotenuse = c = 32 inch

Height = perpendicular = a = 15.7 inch

Width = base = b

Using pythagoras theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(15.7)^2+b^2=(32)^2\\246.49+b^2=1024\\b^2=1024-246.49\\b^2=777.51$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{777.51}\\b=27.88$

Rounding off to nearest tenth

b = 27.9 inches

The width of the TV is 27.9 inches

If arc XV = 68° and ∠YUV = 36°, what is the measure of arc VY? A) 120° B) 130° C) 140° D) 150°

dybincka [34]

The picture in the attached figure

we have
arc XV = 68°∠YUV = 36°
we know that
The measure of the external angle is the semidifference of the arcs that it covers.
therefore
∠YUV =[arc VY-arc XV]/2

arc VY=[2*∠YUV]+arc XV----------> [2*36]+68---------> 140°

the answer is
the measure of arc VY is 140°

What is the difference between discrete vs continuous data

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

With continuous data, it is possible to find the midpoint of any two distinct values. For instance, if h = height of tree, then its possible to find the middle height of h = 10 and h = 7 (which in this case is h = 8.5)

On the other hand, discrete data can't be treated the same way (eg: if n = number of people, then there is no midpoint between n = 3 and n = 4).

-------------------------------------

With that in mind, we have the following answers

1) Continuous data. Time values are always continuous. Any two distinct time values can be averaged to find the midpoint

2) Continuous data. Like time values, temperatures can be averaged as well.

3) Discrete data. Place locations in a race or competition are finite and we can't have midpoints. We can't have a midpoint between 9th and 10th place for instance.

4) Continuous data. We can find the midpoint and it makes sense to do so when it comes to speeds.

5) Discrete data. This is a finite number and countable. We cannot have 20.5 freshman for instance.
