Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem Statement is below.

Therefore the value of x is 9 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Label the vertices as A , B , C shown in figure below such that

∠A = 90°

AC = Longer leg = 12 m

AB = Shorter leg = x

BC = Hypotenuse = 15 m

To Find:

x = ?

Solution:

Pythagorean Theorem :

Pythagorean Theorem States that "the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides".

Which can be Written as

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{One Side})^{2}+(\textrm{Other Side})^{2}

OR

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}

i.e (BC)^{2}=(AB)^{2}+(AC)^{2}

Substituting the values AB ,AC, BC we get

(15)^{2}=(x)^{2}+(12)^{2}\\(x)^{2}=225-144=81\\(x)^{2}=81\\Square\ Rooting\\x=\sqrt{81}=9\\x=9\ m

Therefore the value of x is 9 m.

Construct a residual plot of the amount of money in a person’s bank account and their age that would indicate a linear model.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The regression line is not a good model because there is a pattern in the residual plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a  residual plot for a data set

The residual plot shows scatter plot of x and y

The plotting of points show that there is not likely to be a linear trend of relation between the two variables. It is more likely to be parabolic or exponential.

Hence the regression line cannot be a good model as they do not approach 0.

Also there is not a pattern of linear trend.

D) The regression line is not a good model because there is a pattern in the residual plot.

What is 4 1/3 × 2 3/5? express it in lowest terms​
soldier1979 [14.2K]

We have,

4\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot2\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{13}{3}\cdot\dfrac{13}{5}=\dfrac{13\cdot13}{3\cdot5}=\dfrac{169}{15}=\boxed{11.2\bar{6}}

To express periodic number calculated we use:

x=11.2\bar{6}\\10x = 112.\bar{6}\\100x=1126.\bar{6}\\90x=100x-10x\Longrightarrow90x=1126.\bar6-112.\bar6\\90x=1014\\x=\dfrac{1014}{90}=\boxed{11\dfrac{24}{90}}

Hope this helps.
