Answer:

21.25

Step-by-step explanation:

use the Pythagorean theorem, it is given that the shape is a rectangle so all opposite sides are congruent and all angles are right, since we know that the diagonal forms a right triangle we can use the pythagorean theorem

the Pythagorean theorm is a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs (in this case the side of the triangle) and c is the hypotenuse which is the longest side in a right triangle

17^2+12.75^2=x^2

x^2=7225/16

now take the square root of both sides and you get -21.25 and 21.25

distance CAN NOT be negative so -21.25 isn't an option

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The 90% CI for p is (0.53, 0.83)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to develop a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the college that have met with a counselor to develop an educational plan.

We have a sample of size 25, where the sample proportion is:

$p=X/n=17/25=0.68$

The critical value of z for a 90% CI is z=1.645.

The margin of error is then:

$E=z\cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=1.645*\sqrt{\dfrac{0.68*0.32}{25}}=1.645*\sqrt{0.008704}=1.645*0.093\\\\\\E=0.15$

Then, the lower and upper bound of the confidence interval are:

$LL=\hat p-E=0.68-0.15=0.53\\\\UL=\hat p+E=0.68+0.15=0.83$

The 90% CI for p is (0.53, 0.83)

Damon plans to buy a snowboard that cost $160. Damon has $40. He will save $20 each week until he has enough to buy the snowboar

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: It will take Damon 6 weeks to save the money he needs to buy the snowboard

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's see what the problem is giving us:

-The variable X will represent the number of weeks it will take Damon to save the money he needs.

- Damon has $40

- Damon is going to safe $20 weekly

- The snowboard costs $160

Therefor:

Our equation will be: $40 + $20X = $160

Step 1

We need to isolate the variable by subtracting in both sides of the equation 40 in order to maintain the equality.

40 - 40 + 20X = 160 - 40

This will let us with 20X = 120

Step 2

We have to isolate the variable again, but this time (because the variable is being multiplied by 20) we have to divide on both sides of the equation.

20X/20 = 120/20

Therefore: X=6
