The right triangle has legs of x and 2.5 where x is the height up the wall that the ladder will reach. The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, x^2 + 2.5^2 = 12^2
x = 11.736 approx To the nearest tenth that is 11.7.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

12 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Flip the sides of the equation so 24/34 is on the right side

2. You then cancel the common factor so your 24/34 turns into 12/17

3. Multiply each side by 85. '

Then simply your new equation will look like this;

4y+12=60

4. subtract 12 from both sides

5. Get 48

5. Divide both sides by 4

6. Your answer is 12

The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to an approximately normal distribution with a mean of
g100num [7]

Answer:

68% of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 266

Standard deviation = 16

What percentage of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days?

250 = 266 - 16

250 is one standard deviation below the mean

282 = 266 + 16

282 is one standard deviation above the mean

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of pregnancies last between 250 and 282 days
