Answer: 17 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of an equilateral triangle measure 16 inches. The midpoints of the sides of the triangle are joined to form another equilateral triangle with sides that are half the length of the outer triangle. This process is continued until three triangles are inscribed in the first triangle. The sum of the perimeters of all four triangles is 17 in.

Answer with explanation:

⇒Side of largest equilateral triangle in which three equilateral triangles are inscribed = 16 inches

Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of three sides of triangle

Perimeter of equilateral triangle having side length 16 inches = 16 +16+16=48 inches

⇒→Second equilateral triangle which is inscribed in this equilateral triangle having side length half of that equilateral triangle in which it is inscribed

$=\frac{16}{2}\\\\=8$ inches

Perimeter of equilateral triangle having side length 8 inches = 8 +8+8=24 inches

⇒→Third equilateral triangle which is inscribed in this equilateral triangle having side length half of that equilateral triangle in which it is inscribed

$=\frac{8}{2}\\\\=4$ inches

Perimeter of equilateral triangle having side length 4 inches =4+4+4=12 inches

⇒→Fourth equilateral triangle which is inscribed in this equilateral triangle having side length half of that equilateral triangle in which it is inscribed

$=\frac{4}{2}\\\\=2$ inches

Perimeter of equilateral triangle having side length 2 inches =2+2+2=6 inches

→≡Total Perimeter of all four Equilateral Triangle

=48 +24+12+6

= 90 inches

Please help if x = 3 and y=-4 find x2 + y2 and x2 -y2

lions [1.4K]

1. Plug in the 3 in all the x’s that are in the equation:

(3)2 + y2 = for x2 + y2

(3)2 - y2 = for x2 - y2

This would get you for both equations..

6 + y2 = for x2 + y2

6 - y2 = for x2 - y2

2. Now let’s plug in the value of y which is -4:

6 + (-4)2 = for x2 + y2

6 - (-4)2 = for x2 + y2

This would get you for both equations...

-2 = x2 + y2

14 = x2 - y2

Hope this helped, have an awesome day!

In a program designed to help patients stop smoking. 192 patients were given to sustained care, and 80.2% of them were no longer

stira [4]

Answer:

We conclude that 80% of patients stop smoking when given sustained care.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a program designed to help patients stop smoking. 192 patients were given to sustained care, and 80.2% of them were no longer smoking after one month.

Let p = percentage of patients stop smoking when given sustained care.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 80% {means that 80% of patients stop smoking when given sustained care}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p $\neq$ 80% {means that different from 80% of patients stop smoking when given sustained care}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z test for proportions;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of patients who stop smoking when given sustained care = 80.2%

n = sample of patients = 192

So, the test statistics = $\frac{0.802-0.80}{\sqrt{\frac{0.802(1-0.802)}{192} } }$

= 0.07

The value of z test statistics is 0.07.

Also, P-value of the test statistics is given by the following formula;

P-value = P(Z > 0.07) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.07)

= 1 - 0.52790 = 0.4721

Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test.

Since our test statistic lies within the range of critical values of z, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that 80% of patients stop smoking when given sustained care.

Josh needs to cover a rectangular opening of 12 inches × 18 inches with plywood. how much will he need, in square feet, if he wa

Whitepunk [10]

we know that

1 ft is equal to 12 in

step 1

dimensions of plywood required

(12+3+3) x (18+3+3)------> 18 in x 24 in

step 2

convert inches to feet

18 in-------> 18/12=1.5 ft

24 in------> 24/12=2 ft

step 3

area of plywood required

A=b*h------> 1.5*2------> A=3 ft²

the answer is

3 ft²
