Answer:

Angles in a triangles add up to 180°

Respectively 1 : 2 : 3 is going to be 1 x , 2 x and 3 x so,

1 x + 2 x + 3 x = 180°

⇒ Simplify

6 x = 180°

⇒ Divide by 6 on both sides to isolate x

x = 30°

Since the ratio was 1 x : 2 x : 3 x and x is 30°,

30 : 60 : 90

And since there is a 90° angle, it is a right - angled triangle

Goshia [24]

Answer:

this is the best i could do

steps of construction :

draw a line segment with BC =6cm

with B as centre and 2.5 cm as radius draw an arc with compass

with c as centre and 6.5cm as radius draw another arc which cut the other arc .mark it as A.join A,B,C and triangle is formed. with help of protractor measure angle B

Answer:

The lower confidence limit of the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans who were victims of identity theft is 0.0275.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
