Answer:

14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 equal sides of 13 cm, thus the third side is

third side = perimeter - 13 - 13 = 50 - 26 = 14

Answer: The third side measures 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation: An isosceles triangle is that which has two sides and two angles having equal measurement. Hence, two sides of the triangle will have the same length, while the third side will have a different measurement. Now we have an isosceles triangle with one of the two equal sides given as 13 cm. That simply means the other equal side measures 13 cm.

Remember that we have been given the perimeter of the triangle already. The perimeter of a triangle is simply the addition of all three sides of the triangle.

We can now derive the following expression from what we have so far;

Perimeter = A + B + C

(Where A, B and C represents the three sides of the triangle)

Hence, the expression now becomes

Perimeter = A + B + C

50 = 13 + 13 + C

50 = 26 + C

Subtract 26 from both sides of the equation

50 - 26 = 26 - 26 + C

24 = C

Therefore, the third side of the triangle is 24 cm

Marcel leaves 30 minutes after Carolyn, leaving between them a gap of 40mph*0.5h=20miles
To catch up with the 20miles, Marcel uses the extra (65-40=25)mph that he has.
Therefore 20m/25mph=0.8h=0.8*60min=48minutes after 2:45, which is at 3:33, Marcel catches up to Carolyn.

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:
