To solve for a, you must get a by itself on one side of the equation. Now, a is "joined" to m by multiplication. To "separate" them, use the inverse operation, division.

Divide both sides of the equation by m.

$F=ma \\ \frac{F}{m}=\frac{ma}{m} \\ \frac{F}{m}=a \\ a=\frac{F}{m}$

Answer:

b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

25 + b^2 = 169

b^2 = 144

A table with a round top is cut in half so that it can be used against a wall. After it is cut, the edge along the wall is 6 fee

andrew-mc [135]

The diameter is 6 feet, so the radius is 3 feet.
The formula to solve for the areas of a circle is
A = πr^2
So, A = (3.14)(3^2)
A = 28.26
Since the table is cut in half, divide the total answer by 2
A = 14.13

8.52 The heights of 2-year-old children are normally distributed with a mean of 32 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches

sweet [91]

Answer:

Heights of 29.5 and below could be a problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The heights of 2-year-old children are normally distributed with a mean of 32 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches.

This means that $\mu = 32, \sigma = 1.5$
