Answer:
large triangle:
base = 6.64 cm
hypotenuse = 8.31 cm
small triangle:
base = 4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
large triangle:
tan 37 = 5/base
0.7536 = 5/base
base = 6.64 cm
using the Pythagorean theorem:
hypotenuse² = 5² + 6.64²
hypotenuse² = 25 = 44.02 = 69.02
hypotenuse = 8.31 cm
small triangle:
using the Pythagorean theorem:
base² = 5² - 3²
base² = 25 - 9 = 16
base = 4 cm
Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)
Here x=3
so, putting 3 instead of x
Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a producer ships boxes of produce to individual customers.(say x)
X is a normal random variable with mean = 36 and std dev =4 lbs
By definition of std normal variate we know that
is N(0,1)
75th percentile of std normal distribution is
0.675
Hence corresponding x would be
Option D matches with this value
Hence answer is option D
