das is part of a proof of pythagorean theorem


for a right triangle (has one interior angle as 90 degrees)

a^2+b^2=c^2

a and b are the lengths of the legs and c=length of hypotnuse (side oposite right angle)


we see that the lengths of the legs are 9in and 12in

a=9 and b=12 (or a=12 and b=9, doesn't matter)

we want to find c, or x in this case

so

a^2+b^2=c^2

9^2+12^2=x^2

81+144=x^2

225=x^2

15=x

x=15in

answer is 15 inches

using the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2   where c is the hypotenuse

9^2 +12^2 = x^2

81 + 144 = x^2

225 = x^2

taking the square root of each side

sqrt(225) = x

15 =x

x = 15 inches

Calvin is building a fence. The fence will enclose a 100 square foot area, 10 ft wide by 10 ft long. Calvin can put fence posts
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

20 fence posts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin is building a fence. The fence will enclose a 100 square foot area, 10 ft wide by 10 ft long. Calvin can put fence posts 2 feet apart.

Now, if he puts a fence post at each corner of the building, then considering each length of the building there will be (\frac{10}{2} + 1) = 6 posts along each length.

Now, considering each width of the building there will be (\frac{10}{2} - 1) = 4 posts (excluding the corner posts) along each width.

Therefore, in total there will be (6 + 6 + 4 + 4) = 20 fence post in the total fence. (Answer)

(a) determine the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) explain what it would mean to make a Type I error, and (c) explain what i
iren2701 [21]
Null: the mean amount of peanut butter in a jar is equal to 32 oz.
alternative: the mean amount of peanut butter in a Jar is less than 32oz.

type 1 error is is rejecting the null when it is actually true. this means that we would say that the mean amount of peanut butter is not equal to 32 when it actually is.

type 2 error is failing to reject the null when it is actually false. this means that we would say the mean amount of peanut butter is equal to 32 when in reality it is less.
