Given an equilateral triangle that has an area of 1959 cm2. What is the length of its sides?
1 answer:
Equilateral
equi means equal
lateral means sides
all sides are equal
triangle has 3 sides
perimiter=side1+side2+side3
side1=side2=side3
area=1/2 times base times height
base=side
draw a line down the middle of te tiangle so you get 2 right triangles side by side
1/2base is one leg
base is hypotonuse
height is unknown
equilateral means that it is a 30-60-90 triangle with hypotonuse equal to 2x, height=x√3, bottom is x
1/2 times base times height=1959
1/2 times x times x√3=1959
multiply both sides by 2
(x^2)√3=3918
divide both sides by √3
x^2=3918/√3
square root both sides
x=47.5611
side=hypotonuse=2x
2x=2*47.5611
side=95.12222
legnth of each side is
cm or about 95.12222 cm

Answer:
The probability that the assembly line will be shut down is 0.00617.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while 1% is not within specification.
Every hour, 12 random bottles are taken from the assembly line and tested. If 2 or more bottles in the sample are not within specification, the assembly line is shut down for recalibration.
Let X = <u><em>Number of bottles in the sample that are not within specification</em></u>.
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;
where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 12 bottles
x = number of success = 2 or more bottles
p = probabilitiy of success which in our question is probability that
bottles are not within specification, i.e. p = 0.01
So, X ~ Binom (n = 12, p = 0.01)
Now, the probability that the assembly line will be shut down is given by = P(X 2)
P(X 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)
=
=
= <u>0.00617</u>
