Answer:

$C=78.28^{\circ \:}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a triangle

whose sides are

a=12

b=8

c=13

Since, c is largest among them

So, angle C must be largest angle

we can find angle C

we can use law of cosine formula

$cos(C)=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$

now, we can plug values

$cos(C)=\frac{12^2+8^2-13^2}{2\times 12\times 8}$

$cos(C)=\frac{13}{64}$

now, we can find angle

we get

$C=78.28^{\circ \:}$

2 lessons per day for 27 days and 3 lessons a day for 4 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

66/31 = 2 4/31

Since 66 divided by 31 is 2 with remainder 4, you need to do 31 days of 2 lessons per day. To do the extra 4 lessons, do one more lesson per day for 4 of those days.

That results in:

2 lessons per day for 27 days and 3 lessons a day for 4 days.

Check:

2 lessons a day for 27 days = 2 * 27 = 54

3 lessons a day for 4 days = 3 * 4 = 12

54 + 12 = 66

If you do 2 lessons a day for 27 days and 3 lessons a day for 4 days, you will do the 66 lessons.

Match the correct letter

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

1) f

4 * ¼ = 1 (Multiplicative inverse property)

2) c

6 * 1 = 6 (Identity property of multiplication)

3) h

5 + 7 = 7 + 5 (Commutative property of addition)

4) j

If 5 + 1 = 6 and 4 + 2 = 6, then 5 + 1 = 4 + 2 (Transitive property)

5) a

4(x - 3) = 4x - 12 (Distributive property)

6) i

3(5) = 5(3) (Commutative property of multiplication)

7) k

Rules that allow us to take short cuts when solving algebraic problems.(Properties)

8) d

5 * (3 * 2) = (5 * 3) * 2 (Associative property of multiplication)

9) g

4 + (-4) = 0 (Additive inverse property)

10) e

2 + 0 = 2 (Identity property of addition)

11) b

A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C (Associative property of addition)

N divided Into 8 is what

Goryan [66]

Answer:

$\frac{N}{8}$

Dividing is the same as putting numbers into a fraction. This is N/8. We don't get the answer until we figure out what N is equal to.

The summer monsoon brings 80% of India's rainfall and is essential for the country's agriculture.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Step 1. Between 688 and 1016mm. Step 2. Less than 688mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 rule roughly states that in a normal distribution 68%, 95% and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two and three standard deviation(s) around the mean. The z-scores represent values from the mean in a standard normal distribution, and they are transformed values from which we can obtain any probability for any normal distribution. This transformation is as follows:

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ (1)

$\\ \mu\;is\;the\;population\;mean$

$\\ \sigma\;is\;the\;population\;standard\;deviation$

And x is any value which can be transformed to a z-value.

Then, z = 1 and z = -1 represent values for one standard deviation above and below the mean, respectively; values of z = 2 and z =-2, represent values for two standard deviations above and below the mean, respectively and so on.

Because of the 68-95-99.7 rule, we know that approximately 95% of the values for a normal distribution lie between z = -2 and z = 2, that is, two standard deviations below and above the mean as remarked before.

<h3>Step 1: Between what values do the monsoon rains fall in 95% of all years?</h3>

Having all this information above and using equation (1):

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

For z = -2:

$\\ -2 = \frac{x - 852}{82}$

$\\ -2*82 + 852 = x$

$\\ x_{below} = 688mm$

For z = 2:

$\\ 2 = \frac{x - 852}{82}$

$\\ 2*82 = x - 852$

$\\ 2*82 + 852 = x$

$\\ x_{above} = 1016mm$

Thus, the values for the monsoon rains fall between 688mm and 1016mm for approximately 95% of all years.

<h3>Step 2: How small are the monsoon rains in the driest 2.5% of all years?</h3>

The driest of all years means those with small monsoon rains compare to those with high values for precipitations. The smallest values are below the mean and at the left part of the normal distribution.

As you can see, in the previous question we found that about 95% of the values are between 688mm and 1016mm. The rest of the values represent 5% of the total area of the normal distribution. But, since the normal distribution is symmetrical, one half of the 5% (2.5%) of the remaining values are below the mean, and the other half of the 5% (2.5%) of the remaining values are above the mean. Those represent the smallest 2.5% and the greatest 2.5% values for the normally distributed data corresponding to the monsoon rains.

As a consequence, the value x for the smallest 2.5% of the data is precisely the same at z = -2 (a distance of two standard deviations from the mean), since the symmetry of the normal distribution permits that from the remaining 5%, half of them lie below the mean and the other half above the mean (as we explained in the previous paragraph). We already know that this value is x = 688mm and the smallest monsoons rains of all year are less than this value of x = 688mm, representing the smallest 2.5% of values of the normally distributed data.

The graph below shows these values. The shaded area are 95% of the values, and below 688mm lie the 2.5% of the smallest values.
