Answer:

5.65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the length of each leg of an isosceles right triangle is 4 cm and we are to find the length of the hypotenuse.

For this, we will use the Pythagoras Theorem:

$a ^ 2 = b ^ 2 + c ^ 2$

where $a$ is the hypotenuse.

$a ^ 2 = 4 ^ 2 + 4 ^ 2$

$\sqrt { a ^ 2} = \sqrt { 3 2 }$

$a = 5 . 6 5$

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 5.65 cm.

Answer:

hypotenuse = 4√2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the length of each leg of an isosceles right triangle is 4 cm

To find the hypotenuse

From the given information we get the given triangle is a right triangle with angles 45°, 45° and 90°

Therefore the side are in the ration 1 : 1 : √2

Here two legs are give

leg1 : leg2 : hypotenuse = 4 : 4 : 4√2

Therefore hypotenuse = 4√2

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Sample size n = 1382

so correct option is D) 1382

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

confidence level = 99 %

margin of error = 3%

probability = 25 %

to find out

How large a sample size needed

solution

we know here P = 25 %

so 1 - P = 1 - 0.25

1 - P = 0.75

and we know E margin of error is 0.03 so value of Z for 99%

α = 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99

α = 0.01

and $\frac{\alpha}{2}$ = $\frac{0.01}{2}$

$\frac{\alpha}{2}$ = 0.005

so Z is here

$Z_(\frac{\alpha}{2})$ = 2.576

sample size will be

Sample size n = $(\frac{(Z_(\frac{\alpha}{2})}{E})^2 * P * (1-P)$

put here value

Sample size n = (\frac{2.576}{0.03})^2 * 0.25 * 0.75

Sample size n = 1382

so correct option is D) 1382

What is the quotient of 8.252 ÷ 0.4?

BigorU [14]

When we divide a number and if it does not get divided completely, we are left with a remainder. Let us understand this with the help of an example. The quotient can be calculated by dividing the dividend with the divisor. Quotient = Dividend ÷ Divisor. The answer is 20.63

Evgen [1.6K]

To find the area of an object you have to knoe what the base and the hieght.
okay so me know that the base=24 in
and we know that the hieght=4
now all you have to do is multiply 24 by 4
and your answer will be 96

the ratio of cars to trucks on the parking lot is 2:3 there are 24 trucks on the lot what is the total number of vehicles on the

SVEN [57.7K]

x=16

Explanation

the ratio is 2:3

it means for every 2 cars, there are 3 trucks

Now, it the total of trucks is 24,the proportion must be the same, so

Step 1

Let

x represents the number of cars for 24 trucks

$\frac{\text{2 cars}}{3\text{ trucks}}=\frac{x}{24\text{ trucks}}$

Step 2

solve for x

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{2 cars}}{3\text{ trucks}}=\frac{x}{24\text{ trucks}} \\ 2\cdot24=3\cdot x \\ x=\frac{2\cdot24}{3} \\ x=\frac{48}{3} \\ x=16 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is 16
