Answer:

15.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call

a: distance from the top of the ladder to the ground = 10 ft

b: distance from the bottom of the ladder to the bottom of the slide = 12 ft

c: length of the slide

From Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

c = √(10² + 12²)

c = 15.6 ft

Given a circle with a radius of 6, what the the length of an arc measuring 30 degrees

Mazyrski [523]

$\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=\cfrac{\theta \pi r}{180}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
r=6\\
\theta =30
\end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{30\cdot \pi \cdot 6}{180}\implies s=\pi$

A scientist who studies sleep has developed a new technique to help people sleep each night. He

Andru [333]

Considering the situation described, the scientist's null and alternative hypothesis are described by:

Null hypothesis $H_0: \mu = 0$ ; Alternative hypothesis $H_1: \mu \neq 0$ .

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is no difference, that is, the difference of the means represented by $\mu$ is of 0, hence:

$H_0: \mu = 0$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is a difference, hence:

$H_1: \mu \neq 0$

mylen [45]

Answer:

x= - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

note : the equation of the axis symmetry for the parabola : y =ax²+bx+c

when : a≠ 0 is : x=- b/2a

in this exercice : a=1 and b=10

so : x= -10/2 = -5
