Suppose a triangular desk will be built in the corner of that room. It will be in the shape of a 30-60-90 right triangle. The le

ngth of the longer leg of the triangle is 5 feet.
The volume of the room is 566 sq ft

2. How could the length of the shorter leg be determined without measuring it? What is its length? Round your answer to the second decimal point. Show all of your work.

Answer:

<u>Longer leg = 5 feet</u>

<u>Shorter leg ≅ 2.89 feet</u>

<u>Hypotenuse ≅ 5.78 feet</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that this is a special type of triangle where the three angles measure 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. The ratio of the sides is 1:  √3  :2. That is to say, the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, and the longer leg is the square root of 3 times the shorter leg.

Upon saying that, we can find the length of the legs of the triangle given:

Longer leg = 5 feet

Shorter leg * √3 = 5

Shorter leg = 5/√3 = 5√3/3 ≅ 2.89 feet

Hypotenuse = 2 * Shorter leg

Hypotenuse = 10√3/3 ≅ 5.78 feet

Rotate rectangle ABCD 90ºccw about the origin. What<br> are the image coordinates?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. When rotating a point 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin our point A(x,y) becomes A'(-y,x). In other words, switch x and y and make y negative.

2. The rule for a rotation by 180° about the origin is (x,y)→(−x,−y) .

3. Rotation of a point through 180°, about the origin when a point M (h, k) is rotated about the origin O through 180° in anticlockwise or clockwise direction, it takes the new position M' (-h, -k). ...

A rectangular board has an area of 648 square centimeters. The triangular part of the board has an area of 162 square centimeter
maksim [4K]

Answer:

25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the event that the dart lands inside the triangle.

We have been given that a rectangular board has an area of 648 square centimeters. The triangular part of the board has an area of 162 square centimeters.

We know that probability of an event represents the chance that an event will happen.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable no. of events}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}

\text{Probability that dart lands inside the triangle}=\frac{\text{Area of triangle}}{\text{Area of rectangle}}

\text{Probability that dart lands inside the triangle}=\frac{162}{648}

\text{Probability that dart lands inside the triangle}=0.25

Convert into percentage:

0.25\times 100\%=25\%

Therefore, the probability that dart lands inside the triangle is 25%.

At an art exhibition there are 12 paintings of which 10 are original. A visitor selects a painting at random and before decides
Reika [66]

Answer:

a) 0.8333

b) 0.75

c) 0.8181 or 0.9090

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The probability the visitor selects an authentic painting is  

10/12 = 0.8333

b)

Since the opinion of the expert does not depend on your choice, the events are <em>independent</em>, so the probability that the expert says is authentic and it really is, is

0.8333*0.9 = 0.75

c)

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is not, then there are 11 paintings of which 9 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

9/11= 0.8181

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is, then there are 11 paintings of which 10 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

10/11= 0.9090

Solve for f(-2) <br> PLEASE HELPPPPP
viva [34]

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 5 * 3^x

Let x = -2

f(-2) = 5 * 3^-2

We know a^-b = 1/a^b

     = 5 * 1/3^2

    = 5/9
