If the two legs of a right triangle measure 5 and 12 respectively, and the leg and hypotenuse of another right triangle measure

12 and 13 respectively, explain why the triangles would be congruent.

They would be congruent by the side side side (s-s-s) theorem.
They are BOTH right triangles.
You have one triangle with legs = 5 and 12, by the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse would be 13.
In the other triangle, you have a leg = 12 and hypotenuse = 13.  By the Pythagorean Theorem, the other leg would be 5.
So, you have 2 triangles with sides of 5, 12 and 13 and they are congruent by the (s-s-s) theorem.

A production process is checked periodically by a quality control inspector. the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 f
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Population Mean = 2.0

Population Standard deviation = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 finished products and computes the sample mean product weight.

Also, test results over a long period of time show that 5% of the values are over 2.1 pounds and 5% are under 1.9 pounds.

Now, mean of the population is given the average of two extreme boundaries because mean lies exactly in the middle of the distribution.

So,   Mean, \mu = \frac{1.9+2.1}{2} = 2.0

Therefore, mean for the population of products produced with this process is 2.

Since, we are given that 5% of the values are under 1.9 pounds so we will calculate the z score value corresponding to a probability of 5% i.e.

             z = -1.6449 {from z % table}

We know that z formula is given by ;  

                Z = \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

              -1.6449 = \frac{1.9 - 2.0}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }     ⇒  \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  = \frac{-0.1}{-1.6449}  

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.0608 * \sqrt{30}  {as sample size is given 30}

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.03 .

Therefore, Standard deviation for the population of products produced with this process is 0.0333.

sdas [7]

Answer:

10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50 is the CORRECT equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is INCOMPLETE.

Javier asks his mother how old a tree in their yard is. His mother says, “The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree’s age, in years, is equal to 50.” Javier writes the equation { 10 + 2/3} where a is the tree’s age in years. His equation is not correct. What error did he make?

Now here:

a:  The tree’s age in years.

Also,  “The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree’s age, in years, is equal to 50.”

⇒ 10 +  two-thirds of that tree’s age  = 50

\implies 10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50

But in the equation written by Javier, the the third fraction is NOT MULTIPLIED by the age of the tree a in Years.

So, the written equation by Javier is Incorrect.

Now, solving the written correct equation for the value of a, we get:

\implies 10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50\\\implies  (\frac{2}{3}) a = 40\\\implies a = 40 \times  (\frac{3}{2})  = 60\\\implies a  = 60

Hence the correct  age of the tree = 60 years
