Answer:

12 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we plot the points representing the vertices of this triangle, we see that we do not have a segment perpendicular to any side; this means we do not have a height.  What we do have is a horizontal line segment from (0, -2) to (8, -2), a segment running diagonally from (0, -2) to (9, 1) and a segment running diagonally from (9, 1) to (8, -2).

In order to find the height, we can drop a vertical line segment from the highest point, (9, 1), straight down adjacent to our horizontal line segment.  This will be perpendicular.  It runs from (9, 1) to (9, -2); its length would be 1--2 = 3 units.  This is the height.

We will treat the horizontal segment as the base of the triangle; its length is 8-0 = 8.

Our formula for the area of a triangle is

A = 1/2bh

Using our information, we have

A = 1/2(8)(3) = 4(3) = 12

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the real room to the blueprint is 21/3.5, which simplifies to 6.

You have to multiply 6 by 2.5 to get 15

A report revealed that the average no. of months that an employee stays in a factory is 36 months. Assuming that
Masja [62]

Answer:

a) P [X ≥ 30 ] =  0,8413      or    84,13%

b)  P [X < 24]  = 0,0228      or    2,28 %

c) P [ 24 < X < 48 ]   =  0,9544     or   95,44%

Step-by-step explanation:

z = ( X - μ₀ )/σ

μ₀ the mean ( average no. of months that an employee stay in a factory)

σ standard deviation

a) P [X ≥ 30 ] = 1 -  P [X < 30 ]

P [X < 30 ]

We look for z (score)

z = ( X - μ₀ )/σ      ⇒  z =  30 - 36 / 6

z = - 1

From z table we get for -1  

P [X < 30 ] = 0,1587

And

P [X ≥ 30 ] = 1 -  P [X < 30 ]  ⇒        P [X ≥ 30 ] = 1 - 0,1587

P [X ≥ 30 ] =  0,8413      or    84,13%

b) P [X < 24]

z (score) = ( 24 - 36 ) / 6

z( score) = -2

And from z table we get:

P [X < 24]  = 0,0228      or    2,28 %

c) P [ 24 < X < 48 ]    is  P[X ≤ 48] -  P[X ≤ 24]

P [X < 48]

s (score) = 48 - 36 / 6      ⇒   z = 2

P [X < 48] = 0,9772

Then

P [ 24 < X < 48 ]   = 0,9772  - 0,0228

P [ 24 < X < 48 ]   =  0,9544     or   95,44%
