Answer:

x = 12 cm and y = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Three sides of the first triangle are 10 cm, 12 cm and 12 cm.

Three sides of second triangle are 20 cm, 12+x cm and y cm.

As these two triangles are similar, it means,

$\dfrac{10}{20}=\dfrac{12}{12+x}=\dfrac{12}{y}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{12}{12+x}=\dfrac{12}{y}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{12}{y}\ \text{and}\ \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{12}{12+x}\\\\y=24\ cm\ \text{and}\ 24=12+x,x=12 cm$

So, the value of x is 12 cm and that of y is 24 cm.

Find x. <br> 2√3<br> 4√3 <br> 8√3 <br> 8

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opposite side/ hypotenuse

sin 30 = 4/x

Multiply each side by x

x sin 30 = 4

Divide each side by sin 30

x sin 30 /sin 30 = 4 sin 30

x = 4 /sin 30

We know that sin 30 = 1/2

x = 4 / 1/2

x = 8

Yuri computes the mean and standard deviation for the sample data set 12, 14, 9, and 21. He finds the mean is 14. His steps for

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

B. Yuri divided by n instead of n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

It was stated in the question that the dataset was sample dataset. For a sample dataset, the standard deviation is given by the formula,

σ = √ Σ (Xi - mean)²/(n - 1) where i = 1,2,3.....n

Since this is just a sample dataset and not the whole population, Yuri should have divided by n-1 instead of n.

A bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch. The bridge arch has a span of 166 feet and a maximum height of 40 feet. Find

scoray [572]

Answer:

38.27775 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The bridge has been shown in the figure.

Let the highest point of the parabolic bridge (i.e. vertex of the parabola) be at the origin, $O(0,0)$ in the cartesian coordinate system.

As the bridge have the shape of an inverted parabola, so the standard equation, which describes the shape of the bridge is

$x^2=4ay\;\cdots(i)$

where $a$ is an arbitrary constant (distance between focus and vertex of the parabola).

The span of the bridge = 166 feet and

Maximum height of the bridge= 40 feet.

The coordinate where the bridge meets the base is $A(83, -40)$ and $B(-83, -40).$

There is only one constant in the equation of the parabola, so, use either of one point to find the value of $a$ .

Putting $A(83,-40)$ in the equation (i) we have

$83^2=4a(-40)$

$\Rightarrow a=-43.05625$

So, on putting the value of $a$ in the equation (i), the equation of bridge is

$x^2=-172.225y$

From the figure, the distance from the center is measured along the x-axis, x coordinate at the distance of 10 feet is, $x=\pm 10$ feet, put this value in equation (i) to get the value of y.
