Answer:

$x=6\sqrt{5}\\ \\y=3\sqrt{5}\\ \\z=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the right triangle drawn to the hypotenuse is geometric mean of two segments of hypotenuse, so

$z^2=12\cdot 3\\ \\z^2=36\\ \\z=6$

By the Pythagorean theorem,

$x^2=12^2+z^2\\ \\x^2=144+6^2\\ \\x^2=144+36\\ \\x^2=180\\ \\x=6\sqrt{5}$

and

$y^2=z^2+3^2\\ \\y^2=6^2+9\\ \\y^2=36+9\\ \\y^2=45\\ \\y=3\sqrt{5}$

write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. 40 to 56

masha68 [24]

Answer:

5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.

40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7

_____

Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.

If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...

56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16

40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8

16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD

Now, your fraction is ...

(40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7

According to police sources, a car with a certain protection system will be recovered 87% of the time. Find the probability that

WITCHER [35]

Answer: 0.01145

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution , where the probability of getting x successes in n trial is given by :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , p = probability of getting each success in each trial.

As per given

The proportion that a car with a certain protection system will be recovered= p=0.87

n= 8

Let x be the number of cars will be recovered.

Then, the probability that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered:

$P(X=4)=^8C_4(0.87)^4(1-0.87)^{8-4}$

$=\dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}(0.87)^4(0.13)^4\\\\= 70(0.57289761)(0.00028561)\\\\=0.0114537700474\approx0.01145$

Hence, the required probability is 0.01145.

What is the square root of 864

skelet666 [1.2K]

There are two ways to evaluate the square root of 864: using a calculator, and simplifying the root.

The first method is simplifying the root. While this doesn't give you an exact value, it reduces the number inside the root.

Find the prime factorization of 864:

$\sqrt{864} = \sqrt{2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3}$

Take any number that is repeated twice in the square root, and move it outside of the root:

$\sqrt{864} = \sqrt{(2 \cdot 2) \cdot (2 \cdot 2) \cdot 2 \cdot (3 \cdot 3) \cdot 3}$

$\sqrt{2 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{4} = 2$

$\sqrt{3 \cdot 3} = \sqrt{9} = 3$

$\sqrt{(2 \cdot 2) \cdot (2 \cdot 2) \cdot 2 \cdot (3 \cdot 3) \cdot 3} = \sqrt{(4) \cdot (4) \cdot 2 \cdot (9) \cdot 3}$

$\sqrt{(4) \cdot (4) \cdot 2 \cdot (9) \cdot 3} = (2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3) \sqrt{2 \cdot 3} = \boxed{12 \sqrt{6}}$

The simplified form of √864 will be 12√6.

The second method is evaluating the root. Using a calculator, we can find the exact value of √864.

Plugged into a calculator and rounded to the nearest hundredths value, √864 is equal to 29.39. Because square roots can be negative or positive when evaluated, this means that √864 is equal to ±29.39.
