Answer:

The flagpole  12 meters tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Running from the top of a flagpole to a hook in the ground there is a rope that is 13 meters long

∵ The hook is 5 meters from the flag pole

∵ The flagpole and the ground ⊥ to each other

By using Pythagoras theorem:

hypothenus side is 13m

base is 5m

how tall is the flagpole is x

13^2=x^2+5^2\\\\169=x^2+25\\\\x^2=169-25\\\\x^2=144\\\\x=12m

The flagpole  12 meters tall

Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the problem we can see that it typifies a right angled triangle. The rope running from the top of the flagpole to the hook on the ground is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Let us call this hypotenuse c. Let the distance between the hook and the foot of the flagpole be b. Let the height of the flagpole be a.

From Pythagoras theorem;

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a^2= c^2 - b^2

a= √c^2-b^2

From the question

c= 13 metres

b= 5 metres

a= the unknown

a= √c^2-b^2

a= √(13)^2 - (5)^2

a= √169 - 25

a= √144

a= 12 meters

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The average number of daily miles traveled by these individuals was 11.72 miles per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in 2004, Pen Hadow and Simon Murray walked 680 miles to the South Pole, and the trip took 58 days, to determine the average number of miles traveled per day by these individuals the following mathematical calculation must be performed:

680/58 = X

11.72 = X

Thus, the average number of daily miles traveled by these individuals was 11.72 miles per day.

What is the value of x...<br><br> 5(x-5)=3(x-7)
timurjin [86]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-5)=3(x-7)

Distribute

5x-25 = 3x-21

subtract 3x from each side

5x-25-3x = 3x-21-3x

2x-25 = -21

Add 25 to each side

2x-25+25 = -21 +25

2x=4

Divide by 2

2x/2 =4/2

x=2

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=2
skelet666 [1.2K]
Remember y=mx+b

Since y=2 that means it is a horizontal line at 2 on the y axis which means it does not have a slope. The slope would be zero.

(a) determine the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) explain what it would mean to make a Type I error, and (c) explain what i
iren2701 [21]
Null: the mean amount of peanut butter in a jar is equal to 32 oz.
alternative: the mean amount of peanut butter in a Jar is less than 32oz.

type 1 error is is rejecting the null when it is actually true. this means that we would say that the mean amount of peanut butter is not equal to 32 when it actually is.

type 2 error is failing to reject the null when it is actually false. this means that we would say the mean amount of peanut butter is equal to 32 when in reality it is less.
