Answer:  19.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to solve for how high the top of the ladder reach.  

The formula says  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the two legs and  C is the hypotenuse.

In this situation, the hypotenuse will be length of the ladder , and either  a or b will be the length of the ladder from the building or the length of how long the ladder.

a will be 3 ,  and c will be 20. Input in the values  into the formula and solve for b.

3^2 + b^2 = 20^2

9 + b^2 = 400

-9              -9

 b^2 = 391  

    b = \sqrt{391}

  b  = 19.77371   round to the nearest tenth is ,  19.8

An agency is studying the income of store managers in the retail industry. A random sample of 25 managers reveals a sample mean
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The Confidence Interval = ($44,745.55 , $46,094.45)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval =

Confidence Interval = Mean ± z × Standard deviation/√n

Where n = number of samples = 25 managers

Standard deviation = $2,050

Mean = $45,420

z = z score of the given confidence interval

= z score of 90% confidence interval

= 1.645

Confidence Interval = $45,420 ± 1.645 × $2,050/√25

= $45,420 ± 1.645 × $2,050/5

= $45,420 ± 674.45

Confidence Interval =

$45,420 - 674.45 = $44,745.55

$45,420 + 674.45 = $46,094.45

Therefore, the Confidence Interval = ($44,745.55 , $46,094.45)

Identify the domain and range
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Domain: 1 ≤ x ≤ 4

Range : 1 ≤ f(x) ≤ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function f(x) is the limit within which the values of x varies.

Here, in the graph, it shows that the maximum value of x is 4 and the minimum value of x is 1.

Therefore, the domain of the function is 1 ≤ x ≤ 4

Again the range of a function f(x) is the limit within which the values of f(x) vary.

Here, the graph shows that the maximum value of f(x) is 4 and the minimum value of f(x) is 1.

Therefore, the range of the function f(x) is 1 ≤ f(x) ≤ 4. (Answer)

Write the equation of a circle with a center at (6, 7) and a diameter of 4.
posledela

Answer:

(x - 6)² + (y - 7)² = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of circle: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Given center(h,k) = (6,7)

h = 6

k = 7

Dimeter = 4 --

radius, r = \frac{4}{2} = 2

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(x - 6)² + (y - 7)² = 2²

(x - 6)² + (y - 7)² = 4
