Answer:

Height of the sail is 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since sail is in the shape of a triangle and the formula of a triangle is

Area = (1/2)×Base×Height

Area of the sail has been given in the question and we have to calculate the height of the sail.

40.5 = (1/2)× Height× Height ( since base = height)

40.5×2 = height² = 81

height = √81 = 9 feet.

Both base and height of the sail is 40 1/2 feet.

A sail is triangular in shape. Finding the area of a triangle is multiplying its base and height and dividing the product by 2.

A = 1/2 bh

Area = 40 1/2 or 40.50 sq. ft
Since base and height are equal.
40.50 x 2 = 81
bh = 81
bh = 81 ÷ 2
b = 40 1/2 ft
h = 40 1/2 ft

<h3>Answer:  10</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

The two smaller triangles are proportional, which lets us set up this equation

5/n = n/15

Cross multiplying leads to

5*15 = n*n

n^2 = 75

----------

Apply the pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle on top, or on the right.

a^2+b^2 = c^2

5^2+n^2 = m^2

25+75 = m^2

100 = m^2

m^2 = 100

m = sqrt(100)

m = 10

Write an equation that represents the line.<br> Use exact numbers.<br> ting sio
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

y = 3/4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the graph, we can easily see that the y-intercept (where the line passes through y) is 2. In the equation y = mx + b. B is the y-intercept. So at the moment, we have, y = mx + 2. Now to find the slope which will take place over "m" all we need is the rise over run. To get this we will look at the points provided, count up the amount to get to the next point above then count to left/right to the point. For this we count up 3 points and 4 points to the right. So we finally get y = 3/4x + 2.

(3/4 = 0.75 if decimal is needed)

Researchers investigated the effectiveness of oral zinc, as compared to a placebo, in reducing the found those taking oral durat
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: none of the above

Step-by-step explanation: when performing an hypothesis test and we want to make conclusion by comparing the p-value with the level of significance α

When p is greater than α, we reject the null hypothesis because it simply implies that we have a larger chance to commit a type 1 error ( α is the probability of committing a type 1 error an error where we reject the null hypothesis instead of accepting it ) which means we reject the null hypothesis.

When p is lesser than level of significance α, it means that we have a lesser chance of committing a type 1 error, which means we accept the null hypothesis.
