Answer:

Company B is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A :

Mean = 272 nails

Standard deviation = 5.4 nails

Roofing nails expected to be produced = 260

⇒ 260 = 272 + z × 5.4

⇒ z = -2.222

Hence, Company A has a chance of 1.32% of producing exactly or fewer than 260 boxes of roofing nails.

Company B :

Mean = 249 nails

Standard deviation = 3.8 nails

Roofing nails expected to be produced = 260

⇒ 260 = 249 + z × 4.8

⇒ z = 2.895

Hence, Company B has a chance of 0.19% of producing exactly or more than 260 boxes of roofing nails.

Therefore, Company B is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails.

Which of these triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using two reflections? Triangles X Y Z and P Y T are connected at poin

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

The correct option is the first option;

Triangle XYZ and PYT are connected at point Y. Triangle XYZ is reflected across XY and then is reflected another time across YZ to form triangle PYT

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question we look at each option as follows;

1) The parameters given are triangle XYZ and PYT are connected at point Y

Triangle XY is reflected about XY will shift the marked angle from left to right while the right angle will remain at the same location and the triangle will remain upright to give triangle X'Y'Z'

Reflection about the YZ will give; the marked angle and the right angle in the same location and the vertex X will then be changed to P

Therefore, triangle XYZ can be mapped to triangle PYT with two reflections

2) In the second option, we have triangle XYZ is reflected 3 times which is more than 2 times as in the question, therefore, option two is less suited as an answer to the question

3) Triangle XYZ is reflected across side XY and then is shifted down to form triangle AYT

Therefore, since we have only one reflection, option 3 is also not appropriate as an answer

4) In option 4 triangle XYZ is reflected and then rotated therefore option 4 is also not a correct option.

The gate of a stadium ha two pillars each of height 10ft.with four visible lateral faces and 3ft*3ft bases .the top of eaxh pill

lbvjy [14]

The pillars and the pyramids in the stadium gate means that we have to calculate the area of the items that make up the gate one after the other. At the end of the calculation, the calculated areas are then added up.

The total cost of painting is Rs.21344

First, we calculate the area of 1 side of 1 pillar using:

$A = Height * Base$

Where

$Height = 10ft$ --- Height of the pillar

$Base = 3ft$ --- Base of the pillar

So:

$A = 10ft * 3ft$

$A = 30ft^2$

The area of the 4 sides of the pillar is:

$A_2 = 4 * A$ --- i.e. 4 multiplied by the area of 1 side

$A_2 = 4 * 30ft^2$

$A_2 = 120ft^2$

The area of the 2 pillars is:

$Area_1 = 2 * A_2$ --- i.e. 2 multiplied by the area if 1

$Area_1 = 2 * 120ft^2$

$Area_1 = 240ft^2$

Because one part of the pyramid won't be visible, we calculate the area of the pyramid using:

$Area = lw + l\sqrt{(w/2)^2 + h^2} + w\sqrt{(l/2)^2 + h^2}$

Where:

$h = 2$ -- the height

$l = w = 3$ --- the base of the pillar is the length and width of the pyramid.

So, we have:

$Area = 3\sqrt{(2/2)^2 + 2^2} + 3\sqrt{(2/2)^2 + 2^2}$

$Area = 3\sqrt{1 + 4} + 3\sqrt{1 + 4}$

$Area = 3\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{5}$

$Area = 6\sqrt{5}$

For the two pyramids, the area is:

$Area_2 = 2 * 6\sqrt 5$ -- 2 multiplied by area of 1

$Area_2 = 12\sqrt 5$

$Area_2 = 26.8$

So, the total area to be painted is:

$Total = Area_1 + Area_2$ --- the sum of the area of the pillars and the pyramids

$Total = 240+26.8$

$Total = 266.8ft^2$

The unit cost of paint is:

Rate = Rs80 per sq.ft

The total cost of painting is:

$Cost = 80 * 266.8$

$Cost = Rs.21344$

C=2r
divide both sides by 2
c/2=r
c=2pir
divide by 2pi
c/(2pi)=r
