Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (opposite the right angle)

20^2 +b^2 = 29^2

400 + b^2 =841

Subtract 400 from each side

400-400 +b^2 = 841-400

b^2 = 441

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(441)

b = 21

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a right triangle, so you can use the Pythagorean theorem, where a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

20^2 + b^2 = 29^2

400 + b^2 = 841

b^2 = 841 - 400

b^2 = 441

b = 21

What will be the value of median of a moderately asymmetrical distribution? If the mean and mode are 30 and 24 respectively.

sineoko [7]

The mean, the median and the mode are measures of central tendency, and they are related in some many ways, depending on the type of distribution.

The median of the moderately asymmetrical distribution is 26

The given parameters are:

$Mean = 30$

$Mode = 24$

For a moderately asymmetrical distribution, the mean, median and mode are related by the following equation:

$Mode = 3 * Median - 2 * Mean$

Substitute known values

$30= 3 * Median - 2 * 24$

$30= 3 * Median - 48$

Collect like terms

$3 * Median =30+ 48$

$3 * Median =78$

Divide both sides by 3

$Median =26$

This question has two parts. Be sure to answer both parts of the question. One inequality in a system is shown below. -12x + 3y

fgiga [73]

The inequality is -12x + 3y > 9.

PART A:

The sytem has no solution if inequality does not share a common area. The inequality -12x + 3y > 9 consist the region to left of line -12x + 3y = 9. So for no solution the region to left of equation -12x + 3y = 9 is suitable.

Thus inequality for no solution is, -12x + 3y < 9.

PART B:

For infinite solution the region of both inequality must overlap each other, or the inequality is same with some multiplication of divison factor. So inequality for infinite many solutions is,

$\begin{gathered} (-12x+3y>9)\times-1 \\ 12x-3y$

Thus inequality for infinite many solution is 12x - 3y < -9.

What is the dimensions of a box 8 cubic feet

Nesterboy [21]

You can't tell. The volume doesn't tell you the dimensions. It only tells you
what the product of the three dimensions is, but not what anyone of them is.
There are an infinite number of different possibilities.

Example: Volume = 8 cubic feet

The dimensions of the box could be

Length = 2-ft, Width = 2-ft, Height = 2-ft
or
1 x 1 x 8
or
1 x 2 x 4
or
1 x 3 x 2-2/3
or
1 x 5 x 1.6
or
1 x 6 x 1-1/3
or
1 x 7 x 1-1/7
or
2 x 3 x 1-1/3
or
2 x 5 x 0.8
or
2 x 6 x 2/3
or
2 x 7 x 4/7
or
2 x 8 x 1/2
.
.
etc.
