Phthagorean theorme is
a^2+b^2=c^2
where you have a right triangle and c =hypotonuse( normally the longest side, and opposite of right angle)
a and b are the legs

so we are given
one leg=8
hypotonues=10
subsitute
leg=a or b so just subsitute for one
subsitutt  for b
a^2+8^2=10^2
expand
8^2=64
10^2=100
a^2+64=100
subtract 64 from both sides
a^2=36
square root both sides
a=6
answe ris 6 feet

Find the measure of
Alborosie
Angle B is HALF of the sum of the two angles it intercepts.

Since it intercepts 48 and 142 degrees, simply add them add divide by 2:
B = (48 + 142)/2
B = 190/2
B = 95

The measure of angle B is 95 degrees.

Find the correct values for the variables that make the statement cos(h)=x/y true.
Stels [109]

Answer:

The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degree.

In triangle FGH;

\angle F + \angle G + \angle H = 180^{\circ}

or

\angle H = 180^{\circ} -{\angle F + \angle G}

Substitute the given values from the given figure we have;

\angle H = 180^{\circ} -{33^{\circ} + 90^{\circ}}

\angle H = 180^{\circ} -{123^{\circ}}

Simplify:

\angle H = 57^{\circ}

Given that:

\cos H = \frac{x}{y}

Using Cosine ratio:

\cos \theta = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

In a given figure:

Base = GH = x and Hypotenuse = FH = y = 80 cm

Then;

\cos 57^{\circ}= \frac{x}{80}

or

x = \cos 57^{\circ} \cdot 80  

x = 0.54463903501 \cdot 80 \approx 43.57 cm

Therefore, the value of :

H = 57^{\circ}

x = 43.57 cm

y = 80 cm

In the exercise, X is a binomial variable with n = 5 and p = 0.2. Compute the given probability. Check your answer using technol
Ronch [10]

Answer:

0.0512

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that X isa Binomial variable. Hence we solve this question, using the formula for Binomial probability.

The formula for Binomial Probability = P(x) = (n!/(n - x) x!) × p^x × q ^n - x

In the above question,

x = 3

n = 5

p = probability for success = 0.2

q = probability for failures = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

P(x) = (n!/(n - x) x!) × p^x × q ^n - x

P(3) = (5!/(5 - 3) 3!) × 0.2^3 × 0.8^5-3

P(3) =( 5!/2! × 3!) × 0.2³ × 0.8²

P(3) = 10 × 0.008 × 0.64

P(3) = 0.0512
