We know that out of the 1996 people, 294 had high blood pressure. We can use that to create a fraction.
294/1996 = 147/998 = 0.14729...
The probability of the next person having blood pressure is about 15%.
I believe you'd multiply 46.93 by 1.8 giving you 84.474 ft
7. Slope of AD = 4/16 = 1/4
8. ΔAEC = 3/12 = 1/4
.. ΔDFB = 2/8 = 1/4
9. The angles at E, G, and F are right angles. Lines CE and BF are parallel, so the alternate interior angles at B and C where the transversal AD crosses them are equal. The triangles of interest are similar by AA~.
10. See problem 7. The ratio is the same.
11. Hard to tell what rule they want you to state. Every axis-aligned right triangle with its hypotenuse on AD will have the same ratio of side lengths. (That's one of the features of the graph of a line. It has the same slope everywhere, measured over any distance.)
