x=9 i.e. option B is the answer.

Explanation:

Given that in triangle ABC, sides AB and BC are 36 and 28 units.

BD is angle bisector of angle B meeting AC at point D

Also AC = 16 cm.

We know that by angle bisector theorem,

AB/AC = BD/DC

Or x/DC = 36/28

By compendo and dividendo principle, we rewrite as

Or x/x+DC = 36/(28+36)

x/16 = 36/64

x = 36(16)/64 = 9 units.

If we fill a wheelbarrow with dirt, it ways 60 pounds. When we only fill the wheelbarrow 1/4 full, it weighs 33 pounds. How much

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

24 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the empty wheelbarrow X, and the weight of dirt to fill the wheelbarrow Y.

So, we can formulate the following equations:

X + Y = 60

X + (1/4)*Y = 33

Subtracting the second equation from the first one, we have:

3/4 * Y = 27

Y = 27 * 4 / 3 = 36

Now, we can calculate X:

X + 36 = 60

X = 24 pounds

Manufacture of a certain component requires three different machining operations. Machining time for each operation has a normal

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

0.0359

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

mean values of three independent times are 15, 30, and 20 minutes

the standard deviations are 2, 1, and 1.6 minutes

Now,

New Mean = 15 + 30 + 25 = 65

Variance = ( standard deviation )²

Variance = 2² + 1² + 1.6² = 7.56

therefore,

Standard deviation = √variance

Standard deviation = 2.75

Thus,

Z-value = $\frac{\textup{60 - 65}}{\textup{2.75}}$

Z-value = - 1.81

from the Z-table

the Probability of Z ≤ -1.81 = 0.0359
