The correct answer is B. 7.5
Similar polygons are polygons wherein its corresponding sides are proportional. All corresponding sides of the larger polygon are proportional to the corresponding sides to the smaller polygon, wherein segment HG is proportional to segment DC, and segment FG is proportional to segment BC. (See attachment for reference) A <span>proportion is an equation that states two ratios are equivalent. By cross multiplying the two ratios, you get an equation for finding the value of z, which is 7.5</span>

When Carson runs the 400 meter dash, his finishing times are normally distributed with a mean of 63 seconds and a standard devia

Gnom [1K]

Answer: in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

From the information given, the mean is 63 seconds and the standard deviation is 5 seconds.

2 standard deviations = 2 × 0.5 = 1

63 - 1 = 62 seconds

63 + 1 = 64 seconds

Therefore, in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
