Answer:
C, 20 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that both angles QRS and QTR are 90 degrees. In addition, angles SQR and RQT are equivalent (because they're both angle Q).
By AA Similarity, we know that triangle QTR is similar to triangle QRS.
With this similarity in mind, we can look at the ratios of corresponding lengths to set up a proportion. QR from triangle QTR is the hypotenuse, and it corresponds to hypotenuse QS from triangle QRS. So, we can write the ratio x/(9 + 16) = x/25.
Now, we see that long leg QT of triangle QTR corresponds to long leg QR of triangle QRS. So, another ratio we can write is: 16/x.
Finally, we set these two ratios equal to each other:
Cross-multiplying, we get: .
Thus, x = . The answer is C, 20 units.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
- z for 184 = -2.2
- P(z < -2.2) ≈ 1.4%
- z for 200 = -0.6
- P(z < -0.6) ≈ 27.4%
- P(184 < x < 200) ≈ 26.0%
Step-by-step explanation:
Z is computed from ...
... z = (x -μ)/σ
Our lower limit for x is 184, so its z-value is ...
... z = (184 -206)/10 = -22/10 = -2.2
Our upper limit for x is 200, so its z-value is ...
... z = (200 -206)/10 = -6/10 = -0.6
A suitable table or probability calculator can tell you ...
... the percent of area associated with z = -2.2 is about 1.4%. That is, about 1.4% of all values lie below z = -2.2.
... the percent of area associated with z = -0.6 is about 27.4%.
The fraction of expenses between $184 and $200 is then calculated to be ...
... 27.4% - 1.4% = 26.0%
