Answer:

b = 33 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration forms a right angled triangle. The opposite side of the triangle is where we are looking for . The adjacent side is the radius 4000 miles.

5280 ft = 1 mile

735 ft = ? miles

cross multiply

735/5280

miles = 0.13920454545  miles

The hypotenuse side is the height of the building + 4000 miles = 0.140 + 4000 = 4000.14  miles

using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

c = 4000.14

a = 4000

4000.14² = 4000² + b²

b² = 4000.14² - 4000²

b² = 16001120.0196  - 16000000

b² = 1120.0196

b = √1120.0196

b = 33.4666938911

b = 33 miles

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Yes  there is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The sample size is  n =  25

    The mean is  \= x = 5.3 \ mpg

     The standard deviation is  \sigma = 1.8 \  mpg

    The z-score is  z = -1.94

The null hypothesis is  H_o : \mu = 6 \ mpg

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu \ne 6

 Generally the p-value is mathematically evaluated as  

           p-value   =  2 * P( Z

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -1.94  is

         P( Z

=>  p-value   =  2 * 0.02619

=>  p-value   =  0.052

Let assume the level of significance is  \alpha = 0.05

 Hence the  p-value > \alpha this mean that

   The  decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

 There is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence

A rectangle had a length of 2x-7 and a with of 3x+8y. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of that rectangle?
wel

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle had a length of 2x-7 and a width of 3x+8y

Perimeter P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(2x - 7 + 3x + 8y)

P = 2(5x + 8y - 7)

P= 10x + 16y - 14
