Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.

The answer:
<span>the two triangles are similar
in addition, the line UV is parallel to line BC, so we can use the theorem of Thales for proving the following ratios:

AV /AC = AU/ AB= UV/ BC
372/589=20x +80 / AB = 444 / 703

</span>so we get (372/589) AB - 80 = 20x, and x = ( (372/589) AB - 80 ) / 20

exact value of x depends on the value of AB

A research group needs to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for all car insurance small claims. From

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) $z = 1.645$

b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$ , which means that the answer of question a is z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?

They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when

$M = 12, \sigma = 124.88$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12 = 1.645*\frac{124.88}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12\sqrt{n} = 205.43$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{205.43}{12}$

$\sqrt{n} = 17.12$

$\sqrt{n}^{2} = (17.12)^{2}$

$n = 293$

The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Answer:

720 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = base × height

= 12 × 6

= 72 mm²

≈ 720 m² (1 mm = 10 m)
