Answer:

The height of the larger traffic signs is 51.96 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that initially, A company makes traffic signs of an equilateral triangle with the perimeter of 144 inches

Now, A company makes similar traffic signs of perimeter 1.25 of original

New perimeter will be 1.25x144=180 inches

Let triangle ABC be a larger triangle with 180inches of the perimeter.

It is given that the triangle is an equilateral triangle,

Therefore, Side AB=BC=AC

The perimeter of a triangle ABC is

AB+BC+AC=180

3AB=180

AB=60 inches

Figure show that triangle ABC and AD is the height of the triangle.

Since, the triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle,

AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC

so that,

BD=DC and Angle ADB=90

In right triangle ADB,

Angle D =90 and Angle B =60

Side BD=60/2=30 inches and AB=60 inches

Using Pythagoras theorem,

AD^{2} +BD^{2} =AC^{2}

(AD)^{2} +(30)^{2} =60^{2}

(AD)^{2} =60^{2}-(30)^{2}

AD=51.96 inches

Thus, The height of the larger traffic signs is 51.96 inches

What is the GCF of 26 48 62
Bingel [31]
What factors to they have in common?

First, they're all even, so 2

if we divide all of them by 2, we get:
13,24,31

now, 13,31 are primes: so that means that those numbers don't have any more common factors!

So the greatest Common Factor of those 3 numbers is 2.

Alla [95]

Answer:

The point estimate for this problem is 0.48.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a University wanted to find out the percentage of students who felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students.

A survey of 2,800 students was conducted and the students were asked if they felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students. The results were 1,344 answered "Yes" and 1,456 answered "no".

<em>Let </em>\hat p<em> = proportion of students who felt comfortable reporting cheating by their fellow students</em>

<u></u>

<u>Now,  point estimate (</u>\hat p<u>) is calculated as;</u>

                               \hat p=\frac{X}{n}

where, X = number of students who answered yes = 1,344

            n = number of students surveyed = 2,800

So, Point estimate (\hat p)  =  \frac{1,344}{2,800}

                                     =  <u>0.48 or 48%</u>
