What is the distance across the lake?

Mathematics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
5 0

Given:

Height of right triangle = 9 mi

Hypotenuse = 17.5 mi

Base of right triangle = Distance across lake

To find:

The distance across the lake.

Solution:

Using Pythagoras theorem:

In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

\Rightarrow 9^2+base^2=(17.5)^2

\Rightarrow 81+base^2=306.25

Subtract 81 from both sides.

\Rightarrow 81+base^2-81=306.25-81

\Rightarrow base^2=225.25

Taking square root on both sides.

⇒ base = 15

The distance across the lake 15 mi.

a line is perpendicular to y=-4x-2 and intersects the point (0,9). what is the equation for this perpendicular line?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

y=(1/4)x + 9      OR      y=x/4 +9

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have a slope/gradient of -1/n

Because the slope of this line is -4, the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be 1/4.

y=(1/4)x+b

(0,9) is the y-intercept, so b = 9

y=(1/4)x + 9      OR      y=x/4 +9

Assume that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean ? = 50 and standard deviation ? = 7. Compute the following
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  the random variable X is normally distributed, with

mean  = 50 and standard deviation  = 7.

Then we have z= \frac{x-50}{7} is N(0,1)

Using this and normal table we find that

a) P(56

b) When z=0.02

we get

x=50+0.02(7)=50.14

c) 90th percentile z value =1.645

90th percentile of X =50+7(1.645)\\= 50+11.515\\=61.515
