Heya !

Using a theoram about triangles ,

Given a triangle ∆ABC, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side ,

Also , the length of third side always greater than absolute difference of the other two sides ,

Let the third side be x ,

So , x < 9 + 8 and x > 9 - 8
x < 17 and x > 1

Hence , x ∈ [ 2 , 17 ] inch.

Above case is true for any triangle , be it scalene , Isosceles , Right-angled ...

As , for Isosceles , the third side can be 8 or 9 inches ,
For scalene , all values in the above range satusfies ,

For right angled triangle , we have 2 cases ,

Case 1 : Third side is the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²+8²) = √145 = 12.0415 inch.

Case 2 : Third side is not the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²-8²) = √17 = 4.1231 inch.

Hope it helps you ! :)

There are two possible choices for the third side. One is using the 9 as the hypotenuse, and the number less than 9. The second is using the number as they hypotenuse.
Remember to use the a² + b² = c² formula.

let the hypotenuse side be "x".

9² + 8² = x²
Simplify
81 + 64 = x²
Add
x² = 145
Root both sides
√x² = √145
Answer
x = <span>12.04159 (rounded)

let one of the sides (not hypotenuse) be x

9</span>²- 8² = x²
<span>Simplify
81 - 64 = x</span>²
Subtract
x² = 17
Root both sides to isolate the x
√x² = √17
Answer
x = 4.12310 (rounded)

hope this helps

Determine the value of x in the diagram <br> 112°<br> xº<br> 68°<br> 112°<br> What IS x ?
Zina [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

112+68+112+x = 360⁰

292⁰+x = 360⁰

x = 360⁰- 292⁰

x= 68⁰

A manufacturer of running shoes knows that the average lifetime for a particular model of shoes is 15 months. Someone in the res
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

So you have a new type of shoe that lasts presumably longer than the ones that are on the market. So your study variable is:

X: "Lifetime of one shoe pair of the new model"

Applying CLT:

X[bar]≈N(μ;σ²/n)

Known values:

n= 30 shoe pairs

x[bar]: 17 months

S= 5.5 months

Since you have to prove whether the new shoes last more or less than the old ones your statistical hypothesis are:

H₀:μ=15

H₁:μ≠15

The significance level for the test is given: α: 0.05

Your critical region will be two-tailed:

Z_{\alpha /2} = Z_{0.025}= -1.96

Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{0.975}= 1.96

So you'll reject the null Hypothesis if your calculated value is ≤-1.96 or if it is ≥1.96

Now you calculate your observed Z-value

Z=<u>x[bar]-μ</u> ⇒ Z=<u>    17-15     </u> = 1.99

     σ/√n              5.5/√30

Since this value is greater than the right critical value, i.e. Zobs(1.99)>1.96 you reject the null Hypothesis. So the average durability of the new shoe model is different than 15 months.

I hope you have a SUPER day!
