For the triangle, x is 12 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

The hypotenuse is the side which is the longest in the triangle and is always opposite the right angle.

In the given triangle, the hypotenuse is 13 units long. The other two sides measure 5 units and x units.

Step 2:

By substituting the known values, we get

13^{2} = 5^{2} + x^{2} .

x^{2} = 169 - 25 = 144.

x = 12.

Rounding this off to the nearest hundred, we get that x is 12 units long.

igomit [66]
The base measures 2012 if you divide that by four you get 503 trianles on the bottom and on the sides and each one gets one smaller until you get to one so 503+502+501,.... or 252+251(504) so the answer is 126,756 triangles in total because 1+503=504  2+502=504... when you get to 252 you just add that to itself so that is the odd one out

Ray Of Light [21]
The width would be 236 and the lengths would be 118

Use the equations 2L+W=472 and W*L=MAX
Change the first equation to W=472-2L and plug this into the other equation
(472-2L)(L)=MAX
472L-2L^2=M (take derivative)
472-4L=0 (set to 0 to find the max value)
4L=472 
L=118 
Plug into original to get W=236

Hope this helps!

A set of 200 test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 5. Approximately how many studen
spin [16.1K]

Answer:  About 191 students scored between a 60 and an 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A set of 200 test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 5.

i.e. \mu=70 and \sigma=5

let x be the random variable that denotes the test scores.

Then, the probability that the students scored between a 60 and an 80 :

P(60

The number of students scored between a 60 and an 80 = 0.9544 x 200

= 190.88 ≈ 191

Hence , about 191 students scored between a 60 and an 80.
