Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?

A right triangle with hypotenuse 26 and legs 24 and y

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, where $h=26$ and $x=24$ ,

$h^{2} =x^{2} +y^{2}\\ 26^{2}=24^{2}+y^{2}\\y=\sqrt{26^{2}-24^{2}}\\ y=\sqrt{676-576}\\ y=\sqrt{100}\\ y=10$

Therefore, the right answer is A. The length of the missing leg is 10 units.

It would be 4

5 - (- 1)
Would just be 5 - 1 which is 4

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{4} x - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remmeber this:

$slope = \frac{rise}{run}$

The y-intercept is where the lone goes through the y-axis.

Suppose you deposited $900 into an account that earns 4% simple annual interest. Find the balance of the account after 6 months

Jet001 [13]

Balance after 6 months would be 900*(900+2%). You just need to evaluate it then you will get the answer. btw 2% comes from 4% because it's half of the year.

At 3:30 in the afternoon in mid-September the Kimball Tower casts a shadow about 290 feet long when the sun's rays come down at

ioda

Answer:

203 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let h represent the height of the building.

We have been given that at 3:30 in the afternoon in mid-September the Kimball Tower casts a shadow about 290 feet long when the sun's rays come down at an angle about 35 degrees above the horizontal.

We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle to its adjacent side.

$\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}$

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

$\text{tan}(35^{\circ})=\frac{h}{290}$

$290*\text{tan}(35^{\circ})=\frac{h}{290}*290$

$290*0.70020753821=h$

$h=290*0.70020753821$

$h=203.0601860809$

$h\approx 203$

Therefore, the building is approximately 203 feet high.

A candy company claims that 25% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 32 bags of 32 candies, randomly selects

Luden [163]

Answer:

45.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in this case a binomial distribution when p = 0.25, since the probability is 25%

. The formula that we will use in excel is BINOM.DIST, separated by commas we must put the value of x, n, p and also if it is true or false. We know that n equals 32.

In this case we need to know when x = 7, 8 and 9 and add this, and thus we will obtain the probability:

P (X = 7) + P (X = 8) + P (X = 9)

Excel formulas: = BINOM.DIST (7,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (8,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (9,32,0.25, FALSE)

P = 0.1546 + 0.1610 + 0.1431

P = 0.4588

Probability that steve agrees with the company's claim 45.88%
