Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables. Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68. Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95

Plesae urgent hurryy for brainlist !!!!!!!!!!!

kirill [66]

C, or 5000(0.9)t is correct.

Multiplying by 0.1 would not make the car’s price go down by ten percent, but 90. Hence, C is correct.

Hope this helps!

Alborosie

Answer:

Tax is $6.64

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we know dinner is $83 and the tax is %7.5

Step 1) Round the %7.5 to %8

Step 2) Turn the %8 into -> 0.08

Step 3) Multiply 0.08 by 83 which is 6.64

Step 4) Add 6.64 with 83

Answer) Together the full price of the meal is $89.64

Hope this helped! :)

Given the following geometric sequence, find the common ratio: {3, 18, 108, ...).

vodomira [7]

Geometric sequences go up due to a common ratio. Here the common ratio can be worked out by dividing a term by its previous term e.g term 2 divided by term 1.

$18/3 = 6
$

Therefore the common ratio is 6.

What is the formula for a confidence interval?

ikadub [295]

Answer:

a) The formula is given by mean $\pm$ the margin of error. Where the margin of error is the product between the critical value from the normal standard distribution at the confidence level selected and the standard deviation for the sample mean.

b) $\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

If the distribution for X is normal or if the sample size is large enough we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

Part a

The formula is given by mean $\pm$ the margin of error. Where the margin of error is the product between the critical value from the normal standard distribution at the confidence level selected and the standard deviation for the sample mean.

Part b

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
