Find the solution of x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 1.25, y = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller and larger triangles are similar triangles. (the 2 triangles have the same angles).

We know that the smaller triangle has length 8 for it's bottom side when the larger triangle has length 10. This means the scale factor between the 2 is 10 / 8 which is 1.25. Therefore by multiplying the side lengths of the smaller triangle by 1.25 we get the side lengths of the larger triangle.

5 * 1.25 = 6.25

7 * 1.25 = 8.75

However we don't want the whole side lengths we want x and y, We need to subtract 5 and 7 respectively from the lengths of the larger triangles.

Therefore the lengths must be: 6.25 - 5 = 1.25

and 8.75 - 7 = 1.75

Therefore x and y equal 1.25 and 1.75

Suppose we want to test the claim that the majority of adults are in favor of raising the vote age to 21. Is the hypothesis test
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The hypothesis test is right-tailed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that we want to test the claim that the majority of adults are in favor of raising the voting age to 21.

Let p = <u><em>proportion of adults who are in favor of raising the voting age to 21</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p \leq 50%

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p > 50%

As we know that the majority is there when we have more 50% chance of happening of that event.

Here, the null hypothesis states that the proportion of adults who are in favor of raising the voting age to 21 is less or equal to 50%.

On the other hand, the alternate hypothesis states that the proportion of adults who are in favor of raising the voting age to 21 is more than 50%.

This shows that our hypothesis test is right-tailed because in the alternate hypothesis, the greater than sign is included.

Jenna saves $3 for every $13 dollars she earns. Vanessa saves $6 for every $16 she earns. Is Jenna's ratio of money saved to mon
jeka94

We have been given that Jenna saves $3 for every $13 dollars she earns. Vanessa saves $6 for every $16 she earns.

We can compare the ratios of saved money to earned money by Jenna and Vanessa as:

\frac{3}{13} =\frac{6}{16}    

Let us simplify our equation.

0.2307692307692308=0.375    

We can see that 0.231\neq 0.375 , therefore, Jenna's ratio of money saved to money earned is not equivalent to Vanessa's ratio of money saved to money earned.
