Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Consider right triangle MNK. In this triangle angle N is right and m∠M=60°, then m∠K=30°. Thus, this triangle is special 30°-60°-90° right triangle with legs MN and NK and hypotenuse MK=16 cm. The leg MN is opposite to the angle with measure of 30°, then this leg is half of the hypotenuse, MN=8 cm.

2. Consider right triangle MNH, where NH is the height of trapezoid drawn from the point N. In this triangle m∠M=60°, angle H is right, then m∠N=30°. Similarly, the leg MH is half of the hypotenuse MN, MH=4 cm.

3. Trapezoid MNOK is isosceles, because MN=OK=8 cm. This means that NO=MK-2MH=16-8=8 cm.

4. The midsegment of the trapezoid is

$\dfrac{MK+NO}{2}=\dfrac{16+8}{2}=12\ cm.$

Lines k and n are perpendicular.if the slope of line k is -6,what is the slope of line n?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Well perpendicular lines are reciprocals of each other,

meaning if like k has a slope of -6 then line n will have a slope of positive 1/6.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>line n has a slope of 1/6.</em>

A random variable X follows the uniform distribution with a lower limit of 670 and an upper limit of 750.a. Calculate the mean a

DENIUS [597]

You can compute both the mean and second moment directly using the density function; in this case, it's

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\frac1{750-670}=\frac1{80}&\text{for }670\le x\le750\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

Then the mean (first moment) is

$E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x\,f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac1{80}\int_{670}^{750}x\,\mathrm dx=710$

and the second moment is

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2\,f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac1{80}\int_{670}^{750}x^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{1,513,900}3$

The second moment is useful in finding the variance, which is given by

$V[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2=\dfrac{1,513,900}3-710^2=\dfrac{1600}3$

You get the standard deviation by taking the square root of the variance, and so

$\sqrt{V[X]}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1600}3}\approx23.09$
