Answer: 8a-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a trapezoid is the addition of its four sides.

Perimeter of trapezoid= 39a – 7.

Length of 1st side= 9a,

Length of 2nd side= 5a + 1,

Length of third side= 17a – 6.

Length of the fourth side= Unknown

To find the length of the 4th side, we add the length of the three sides together and subtract from the perimeter of the trapezoid. This will be:

= 39a-7 - (9a+5a+1+17a-6)

= 39a-7-(9a+5a+17a+1-6)

= 39a-7-(31a-5)

=39a-7-31a+5

= 39a-31a-7+5

= 8a-2

The length of the 4th side is 8a-2

We know the perimeter is the total sum of all sides of the shape, we can use this to form an equation: the perimeter=1st side + 2nd side + 3rd side + 4th side 39a-7=9a+(5a+1)+(17a-6)+4th side.
Collect like terms to get 39a-7=31a-5+4th side
If we move everything but the 4th side over to the left we can solve 
C. 8a-2=4th side is the correct answer

Answer:

P(roll a number less than 5)= 4/6= 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

*A dice has 6 faces 1,2,3,4,5,6

*1,3,5 are faces with odd numbers

*2,4,6 are faces with even numbers

*we have four numbers that are less than 5: 1,2,3,4

so i would say the probability to roll a dice with a number less

than 5 is P=4/6=2/3

Lola was hiking 670 feet above sea level Dan was to 720 feet below her what was Dan’s elevation
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

-50

Step-by-step explanation:

Dan's elevation is -50 feet below sea level. If Lola is at an elevation of 670 feet and Dan is 720 feet below her, you need to subtract; 670 - 720. This would get you to -50 feet which is Dan's elevation. Hope this helps!

A recent survey showed that in a sample of 100 elementary school teachers, 15 were single. In a sample of 180 high school teache
trapecia [35]

Answer:

By using hypothesis test at α = 0.01, we cannot conclude that the proportion of high school teachers who were single greater than the proportion of elementary teachers who were single

Step-by-step explanation:

let p1  be the proportion of elementary teachers who were single

let p2 be the proportion of high school teachers who were single

Then, the null and alternative hypotheses are:

H_{0}: p2=p1

H_{a}: p2>p1

We need to calculate the test statistic of the sample proportion for elementary teachers who were single.

It can be calculated as follows:

\frac{p(s)-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{N} } } where

  • p(s) is the sample proportion of high school teachers who were single (\frac{36}{180} =0.2)
  • p is the proportion of elementary teachers who were single (\frac{15}{100} =0.15)
  • N is the sample size (180)

Using the numbers, we get

\frac{0.2-0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15*0.85}{180} } } ≈ 1.88

Using z-table, corresponding  P-Value is ≈0.03

Since 0.03>0.01 we fail to reject the null hypothesis. (The result is not significant at α = 0.01)

I need help finding m<1 please :)
Inessa [10]

Answer

c,116°

Step-by-step explanation:

i don't know how to draw a diagram?

Join ends of chord with the center making angles ∠2,∠3 and angle at the center.

angle at the center=128°

∠1=∠2+90°

∠2=∠3

∠2+∠3+128=180

∠2+∠2+128=180

2∠2=180-128=52

∠2=52/2=26

∠1=26+90=116°

sorry i can't explain properly without picure.
