A rectangle and triangle have the same area and the same base measurement. How does the height of the triangle compare to the he

ight of the rectangle?

Answer:

Area of Triangle is calculated by:

AT = baseT x heightT x (1/2)

Area of Rectangle is calculated by:

AR = baseR x heightR

Given AT = AR, baseT = baseR

=> heightT x (1/2) = heightR

=> heightT = 2 x heightR

or

height of triangle is two times larger than height of rectangle

Hope this helps!

In a random sample of 80 teenagers, the average number of texts handled in a day is 50. The 96% confidence interval for the mean

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

a) $\bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4$

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is $\alpha=1-0.96=0.04$ and the value of $\alpha/2 =0.02$ and the margin of error is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05$

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

$\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}$

And replacing we got:

$\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45$

b) $ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828$

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma$ represent the population standard deviation

n=80 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

For this case we can calculate the mean like this:

$\bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4$

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is $\alpha=1-0.96=0.04$ and the value of $\alpha/2 =0.02$ and the margin of error is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05$

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

$\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}$

And replacing we got:

$\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45$

Part b

For this case is the sample size is doubled the margin of error would be:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828$

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor $\sqrt{2}$

Can somebody help with geometry? I need to know how to prove it to be a rectangle. I already proved parallelogram.

Vanyuwa [196]

I'm not sure how to give you solid proof, like an equation or something, but you can see that out of the four coordinates, two of them have the y-value of 4 and two of them have the y-value of 2. Also, there is 1.5 in between each x-value that is paired with the same y-value... if that makes sense. So for (0.5, 2) and (3, 2), there is 1.5 in between 0.5 and 3. I hope this helps! Sorry it's a bit of a weird answer

7- a. What is the radius of the circle with center (3,10) that passes through (12,12)?

loris [4]

Answer: a. Radius of circle = $\sqrt{85}$

b. The equation of this circle : $(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Center of the circle = (3,10)

Circle is passing through (12,12).

a. To find the radius we apply distance formula (∵ Radius is the distance from center to any point ion the circle.)

Radius of circle = $\sqrt{(12-3)^2+(12-10)^2}$

Radius of circle = $\sqrt{(9)^2+(2)^2}=\sqrt{81+4}=\sqrt{85}$

i.e. Radius of circle = $\sqrt{85}$

b. Equation of a circle = $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ , where (h,k)=Center and r=radius of the circle.

Put the values of (h,k)= (3,10) and r= $\sqrt{85}$ , we get

$(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=(\sqrt{85})^2$

$(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85$

∴ The equation of this circle : $(x-3)^2+(y-10)^2=85$

10p = 66 what is the value of p

Zepler [3.9K]

The value of p is 11. To find this, you must isolate the variable, p, so you divide 10 by both sides of the equation to get p=11.
