The answer is 220cm

Explanation
The picture inserted is the Pythagorean Theorem, used to solve equations such as this. It works trying to find the length of any side in a right triangle.
Let's make the base of this triangle 'a' which we know is 21cm
While 'a' and 'b' in Pythagorean are interchangeable, 'c' will ALWAYS be the hypotenuse.
That being said, we also know that 'c' is 221cm
Once we plug in the numbers we have been given, our formula looks like this: 21 squared + b squared = 221 squared
Now it's time to square 'a' and 'c'
Our equation is now simplified to: 441 + b squared = 48841
Now, we need to isolate 'b squared' to find it's value. We do this by subtracting 441 from both sides (it needs to be from both sides to keep the equation even)
With 441 subtracted from both sides, our equation is now: b squared = 48400
Our last step is to find the square root of both sides of the equation, because 'b' is the value of the height of the triangle, but right now we have 'b squared' so to turn that into 'b' we have to find the square root of 'b squared', which would give us 'b' (square roots and squares cancel each other out).
We know that whatever we do to one side must also be done to the other, so since we just found the square root of 'b squared', now we need to find the square root of 48400, which is 220.
That would make our equation: b = 220
b = height = 220

Hope I helped!

Write a summary about decimals that are equivalent to fractions with denominators of 10 or 100. EXTRA CREDIT
Flura [38]
Decimals that contain a zero in the tenth position can be thought of as a fraction over 100 as the tenth isn't occupied and the hundredth correlates to the 100 as a denominator. The same goes for a number with the tenth position occupied. These decimals would be put over 10 as they are occupying that position in the decimal.

\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution }}}

<u>Before </u><u>answering </u><u>the </u><u>given </u><u>question</u><u>, </u><u>you </u><u>should </u><u>know </u><u>the </u><u>difference </u><u>between </u><u>polygon </u><u>and </u><u>regular </u><u>polygon</u><u>. </u>

  • Polygon :- It is closed figure constitute of straight line having different measurements and also having varies angles.
  • Regular polygon :- It is also a closed figure constitute of straight lines which having equal measuresment and all the angles of the given polygon are equal .

<u>There </u><u>are </u><u>different </u><u>types </u><u>of </u><u>polygon </u><u>based </u><u>on </u><u>the </u><u>sides </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • A polygon having 3 sided called triangle ,having 4 sides called quadrilateral ,having 5 sides pentagon and so on.

<h3><u>Let's </u><u>Begin </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

I have thought to make a 4 side polygon that is quadrilateral.

<u>Steps </u><u>of </u><u>construction </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • Step - 1 :- Draw a 5 cm line AB horizontally
  • Step - 2 :- Then , From a point B, Draw a Vertical line of 5 cm and named it BC
  • Step - 3 :- Then, From a point C, Draw a horizontal line of 5 cm and named it CD
  • Step - 4 :- Now, join the line AD
  • Step - 5 :- Measure all the angles form by the 4 sides of the quadrilateral.

<u>Result </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u> All the angles are equal that is 90° each.

<u>Conclusion </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u> The above figure is square as it is having equal sides and angles.

<h3><u>Now</u><u>, </u><u>we </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>sum </u><u>of </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>angles</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>polygon </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

<u>Here</u><u>, </u><u> </u>

  • All angles are equal in measure 90°

<u>Therefore</u><u>, </u>

The sum of the angles of the given polygon

\sf{ = 90{\degree} + 90{\degree} + 90{\degree} + 90{\degree} }

\sf{ = 180{\degree} + 90{\degree} + 90{\degree} }

\sf{ = 270{\degree} + 90{\degree} }

\sf{ = 360{\degree} }

Hence, The sum of the angles of the above polygon is 360° .

After hearing of the national result that 44% of student engage in binge drinking (5 drinks at a sitting for men, 4 for women),
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Should he be surprised at this result

The found proportion is 1.56 standart deviations away from the expected. we should no be surprised .

Step-by-step explanation:

p=0,44

q=1-0.44=0.56

u=p=0,44

o=\sqrt{pq/n}=\sqrt{(0.44)(0.56)/244} = 0.032

proportion of students in binge drinking 96/244 = 0.39

The found proportion is 1.56 standart deviations away from the expected. we should no be surprised .
