The perimeter of triangle ABC is 54. The triangle has side lengths AB=3x, BC=4x, and AC= 5x. Find the length of each side.

Jackie cut a piece of paper along its diagonal, as shown below, forming two triangles.

harina [27]

Answer:

B. The two dimensions are the same in the triangles as they were in the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial Shape: Rectangle (Before cut)

Final Shape: Triangles (After cut)

Note that this can be explained properly with the use of attachments

See attachment 1 for Before Cut

Before Cut represent the full rectangle before Jackie cut the piece of paper.

Let H and B represent the height and base of the triangle

Given that the rectangle is cut diagonally, this means that the cutting starts and ends at the opposite edges of the rectangle

See attachment 2 for After Cut

After Cut represent the two triangles after cutting the rectangle

From the attachment, you'll observe that the dimension of the two triangles (Triangle 1 and Triangle 2) are the same as it is with the rectangle;

In other words, the two triangle have their heights as H and their bases as B.

Hence, it can concluded that the two dimensions are the same in the triangles as they were in the rectangle.

According to 2013 report from Population Reference Bureau, the mean travel time to work of workers ages 16 and older who did not

gregori [183]

Answer:

a) 48.80% probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes

b) The mean is 30.7 minutes and the standard deviation is of 3.83 minutes.

c) 13.13% probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 30.7, \sigma = 23$

a. If a worker is selected at random, what is the probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes?

This is the pvlaue of Z when X = 30. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{30 - 30.7}{23}$

$Z = -0.03$

$Z = -0.03$ has a pvalue of 0.4880.

48.80% probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes

b. Specify the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means, for samples of size 36.

$n = 36$

Applying the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is 30.7 minutes and the standard deviation is $s = \frac{23}{\sqrt{36}} = 3.83$

c. What is the probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 35. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{35 - 30.7}{3.83}$

$Z = 1.12$

$Z = 1.12$ has a pvalue of 0.8687

1 - 0.8687 = 0.1313

13.13% probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes

Which sequences of transformations will map circle M onto circle N?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

1: Reflect M across the x-axis

2: Dilate about the center by 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for M and N

Required

Which maps M to N

The coordinates of the radius of the circles are:

$M = (5,5)$

$N = (5,-5)$

And the radius of circles are:

$r_M=2$

$r_N=3$

The first transformation from M to M' is:

- Reflect across the x-axis

The rule is:

$(x,y) \to (x,-y)$

$M(5,5) \to M'(5,-5)$

At this point, M' and N now have the same center but different radius.

The second transformation from M' to N is:

- Dilate about the center by dividing the radius of N by the radius of M

i.e.

$k =\frac{r_N}{r_M}$

$k =\frac{3}{2}$

At this point, M has been completely mapped to N.
