Answer:

180\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If triangles EFG and QRS are similar

then

the scale factor is equal to the measure of the smallest side of triangle QRS divided by the smallest side of triangle EFG

so

Let

x-------> the smallest side of triangle QRS

y-------> the smallest side of triangle EFG

z-------> the scale factor

we have

x=140\ units, y=56\ units

substitute the values

z=\frac{140}{56}

z=2.5

Find the length of the longest side of QRS

The length of the longest side of QRS is equal to multiply the scale factor by the length of the longest side of EFG

so

2.5*72=180\ units

The longest side in the triangle is 180, as you multiply 18 by 10.

Hope I helped!

Suppose the life span of a calculator has a normal distribution with a mean of 60 months and a standard deviation of 8 months. W
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Probability that the calculator works properly for 74 months or more is 0.04 or 4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the life span of a calculator has a normal distribution with a mean of 60 months and a standard deviation of 8 months.

Firstly, Let X = life span of a calculator

The z score probability distribution for is given by;

         Z = \frac{ X - \mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 60 months

            \sigma = standard deviation = 8 months

Probability that the calculator works properly for 74 months or more is given by = P(X \geq 74 months)

     P(X \geq 74) = P( \frac{ X - \mu}{\sigma} \geq \frac{74-60}{8} ) = P(Z \geq 1.75) = 1 - P(Z < 1.75)

                                                   = 1 - 0.95994 = 0.04

Therefore, probability that the calculator works properly for 74 months or more is 0.04 or 4%.

Fabio and Gwen are saving money to buy a new gaming station. They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station. Gwen we
vaieri [72.5K]

x represents the number of lawns weeded by Gwen and y represents the number of dogs walked by Fabio.

Gwen charges $12 each time she weeds a yard and Fabio charges $9 each time he walks a dog.

So, for x number of weeds, Gwen earned 12x and for y number of dogs walked, Fabio earned 9y.

They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station.

Therefore,

12x + 9y ≥ 510

Also, the number of dog walks that Fabio has scheduled should not be more than twice the number of yards Gwen has scheduled to weed.

Therefore,

y ≤ 2x

Also, Fabio will walk at least 25 dogs.

Therefore,

y ≥ 25

Hence, the constraints are:

12x + 9y ≥ 510

y ≤ 2x

y ≥ 25

A child has toy blocks that contain the numbers 1 through 80. What is the probability that the will pick up a number that is
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

73/80

Step-by-step explanation:

multiples of 11 between 1 and 80 are 11,22,33,44,55,66,77

number of terms=7

P(multiple of 11)=7/80

P(not a multiple of 11)=1-7/80=73/80
