Answer:
x = 11√2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can notice the triangle given is a special triangle, a 45°- 45°- 90° triangle. The hypotenuse of a 45°- 45°- 90° is √2 times the length of a side. We can set up the equation(using x as the side):
x * √2 = 22
We can divide by √2 on both sides to get:
x = 22 / √2
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply by √2 / √2 on the right side:
x = 22√2 / 2
This simplifies to:
x = 11√2
Answer:
Here is the full proof:
AC bisects ∠BCD Given
∠CAB ≅ ∠CAD Definition of angle bisector
DC ⊥ AD Given
∠ADC = 90° Definition of perpendicular lines
BC ⊥ AB Given
∠ABC = 90° Definition of perpendicular lines
∠ADC ≅ ∠ABC Right angles are congruent
AC = AC Reflexive property
ΔCAB ≅ ΔCAD SAA
BC = DC CPCTC
Given:
n = 20, sample size
xbar = 17.5, sample mean
s = 3.8, sample standard deiation
99% confidence interval
The degrees of freedom is
df = n-1 = 19
We do not know the population standard deviation, so we should determine t* that corresponds to df = 19.
From a one-tailed distribution, 99% CI means using a p-value of 0.005.
Obtain
t* = 2.8609.
The 99% confidence interval is
xbar +/- t*(s/√n)
t*(s/√n) = 2.8609*(3.8/√20) = 2.4309
The 99% confidence interval is
(17.5 - 2.4309, 17.5 + 2.4309) = (15.069, 19.931)
Answer: The 99% confidence interval is (15.07, 19.93)
