Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a= ?

b= 3

c= 5 (c is always the hypotenuse)

*plug in given values

a^2 + 3^2 = 5^2

a^2 + 9 = 25

-9 -9

a^2 = 16

*find the square root

sqrt(a) = sqrt(16)

a = 4

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

a is a leg
b is another leg
c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Leg a = a

Leg b = 3

Hypotenuse c = 5

Step 2: Solve for a

Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: a² + 3² = 5²
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate a term: a² = 5² - 3²
Evaluate exponents: a² = 25 - 9
Subtract: a² = 16
[Equality Property] Isolate a: a = ±4

Since we are dealing with a regular right triangle and not a quadrant triangle, we use the positive root.

∴ a = 4

Henry has 20 Lawns mowed out of a total of 50 lawns. What percentage of the lawns does Henry have to still mow?

elena55 [62]

Henry has completed 40% of his work, leaving him with a remaining 60%.

What you do is divide 20 by 50 and your answer is .4, move the decimal two places to the right to get your percent, 40. Then subtract it out of 100 and you get the remaining 60%, which essentially is your answer.

According to the National Vital Statistics, full-term babies' birth weights are Normally distributed with a mean of 7.5 pounds a

Sav [38]

Answer:

68.26% probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 7.5, \sigma = 1.1$

What is the probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.6 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 6.4. So

X = 8.6

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

$Z = \frac{8.6 - 7.5}{1.1}$

$Z = 1$

$Z = 1$ has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 6.4

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

$Z = \frac{6.4 - 7.5}{1.1}$

$Z = -1$

$Z = -1$ has a pvalue of 0.1587

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826

68.26% probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 15 when x = 3. What is y when x = 12?

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

y = 60 when x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is

y = kx

15 = k3

Divide by 3

15/3 = k

5 =k

y = 5x

Let x = 12

y = 5*12

y = 60
