Use a^2+b^2=c^2.
so u might have two answer one if u plug 17 and 12 as your a and b and solve for c
second is when you plug 12 as a and 17 as 17 qnd solve for b.
hope this helped

If the radius of mars is about 13.7% of neptune's radius, what is the radius of neptune?

Marianna [84]

The volumetric mean radius of Mars is about 3389.5 km. We know that it's 13.7% of Neptune's mean radius, so we can write it down as:

3389.5 = 13.7% of x (where x is Neptune's radius)
3389.5 = 13.7% x
3389.5 = 137/1000x / * 1000 (both sides)
3389500 = 137x / ÷ 137 (both sides)
x = 24740.87591240876
x ≈ 24740.88

Answer: The mean radius of Neptune is about 24740.88 km.

A ramp is to be built beside the steps to the campus library. Find the angle of elevation of the 23-foot ramp, to the nearest

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

the angle of elevation is 12.56°

Step-by-step explanation:

the height of the ramp represents the opposite side and the length of the ramp the hypotenuse

we see that it has (angle, hypotenuse, opposite)

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we choose the one with opposite and hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

sin α = 5ft / 23ft

sin α = 5/23

α = sin^-1 ( 5/23)

α = 12.56°

the angle of elevation is 12.56°

Flow meters are installed in urban sewer systems to measure the flows through the pipes. In dry weatherconditions (no rain) the

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

a) $\frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}$

$363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80$

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

$19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56$

b) For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56

Step-by-step explanation:

423.6, 487.3, 453.2, 402.9, 483.0, 477.7, 442.3, 418.4, 459.0

Part a

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

On this case we need to find the sample standard deviation with the following formula:

$s=sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^8 (x_i -\bar x)^2}{n-1}}
And in order to find the sample mean we just need to use this formula:
[tex]\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$
