Answer:
m < A = 60º
m < B = 30º
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sides on this triangle are: 6,
, and 12
Any triangle with the angles of 30º - 60º - 90º always has side lengths in this proportion:
x,
, 2x
We can line this up with the given sides. If x is 6, then 2x would be 12.
x :
: 2x = 6 :
: 12
Angle B is across from 6, the shortest side. That also means that it corresponds to x, or the smallest angle in the proportion, 30º.
m < B = 30º
Solving for < A:
Method 1) Sum of Angles in a Triangle
Since we already know that one angle is right and therefore 90º and m < B is 30º, we can subtract these from the total sum of angle measures in a triangle to get the last angle, < A.
180º - 90º - 30º = 60º
m < A = 60º
Method 2) Using the second part of the proportion
Since m < A is across from the second largest side, we know that it is equal to
(
in this question) or 60º in the angle proportion.
This means that m < A = 60º

Answer:
Their solutions are related because they both are |9| (the absolute value of 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.2087, 0.2507).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
.
For this problem, we have that:
Suppose a sample of 1537 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 1184 read above the eighth grade level. So 1537 - 1184 = 353 read at or below this level. Then

95% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.2087, 0.2507).
If it is perpendicular to the line 14x-7y=4, then we know our line has the opposite and inverse slope of that line. Solving for y of the first line, we get y=2x-(4/7). All we care about is the coefficient of the x term, because that will give us our slope. The slope of the first line is 2, so the slope of out line is the opposite and inverse of that slope, which -(1/2).
Plugging into our slope- point formula, where y1=(-9), x1=2, and m=(-1/2), then:
y-(-9)=(-1/2)(x-2)
y+9=(-1/2)x+1
y=(-1/2)x-8
