Right triangles abc and dbc with right angle c are given below. If cos(a)=15,ab=12 and cd=2, find the length of bd.

dmitriy555 [2]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we have that

$cos(A)=\frac{1}{5} \\ AB=12\ units\\ CD=2\ units$

Step 1

Find the value of AC

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

$cos (A)=(AC/AB)\\AC=AB*cos(A)$

substitute the values in the formula

$AC=12*(1/5)\\ AC=2.4\ units$

Step 2

Find the value of BC

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AB^{2} =AC^{2}+BC^{2}\\ BC^{2}=AB^{2} -AC^{2}$

substitute the values

$BC^{2}=12^{2} -2.4^{2}\\BC^{2}= 138.24\\ BC=11.76\ units$

Step 3

Find the value of BD

we know that

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BD^{2} =DC^{2}+BC^{2}$

substitute the values

$BD^{2} =2^{2}+11.76^{2}$

$BD=11.93\ units$

therefore

the answer is

the length of BD is 11.93 units

There are two college entrance exams that are often taken by students, Exam A and Exam B. The composite score on Exam A is appro

elena55 [62]

Answer:

B.The score on Exam A is better, because the percentile for the Exam A score is higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

Two exams. The exam that you did score better is the one in which you had a higher zscore.

The composite score on Exam A is approximately normally distributed with mean 20.1 and standard deviation 5.1.

This means that $\mu = 20.1, \sigma = 5.1$ .
