Answer:

B. 992.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle Knowing All Sides:

Sides: 50.000, 60.000, 40.000

Area  : 992.1567

Area of Triangle given by its 3 Sides:

I will show two ways to find the area. One way is very short - The 2000 years old Heron's Formula. The other method may be longer but it's more "educational" as it teaches us important analytic geometry lessons.

But before we even start, we have to verify that the Basic Triangle Inequality is satisfied.

The Basic Triangle Inequality:

The Basic Triangle Inequality states that for a triangle with side lengths a,b,c , the following is true:

    a < b + c,    b < a + c,    c < a + c

What this means, in plain English, is that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the remaining side.

Let us now check:

     60.000 < 40.000 + 50.000   true

     40.000 < 60.000 + 50.000   true

     50.000 < 60.000 + 40.000   true

Now that the basic inequalities are satisfied, we know that these three side lengths can make a triangle, so we can move on to calculating the area of said triangle

Heron's Formula for the area of a triangle:

The 2000 year old Heron's Formula states that the area of a triangle whose sides have lengths  a, b,  and  c  is

     SQRT (s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

where  s  is the semiperimeter of the triangle; that is,

     s = ( a + b + c ) / 2

Let us calculate

Area =  SQRT ( 75.000 • 15.000 • 35.000 • 25.000 ) =

           SQRT ( 984375.000 ) =

           992.1567  

Find area using the Base Height formula:

Let  B  (for base) denote the length of the longest side of the triangle

Let  h  (for height) denote the length of a perpendicular line, from the vertex opposite that side, to the side itself.

Note that  h  splits our triangle into two right-angled triangles, both having  h  as height, the base of the left triangle is denoted by  X  and the base of the right triangle is denoted by  40.000 - X

To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. In algebraic notation, Area  = 0.5 • 40.000 • h   To be able to find the Area, using this formula, we must know the value of  h

Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the Height:

Applying the Pythagorean theorem to the left right-angled triangle we get:

     h2 = (50.000)2- X2  

While the right right-angled triangle is "telling" us that:

     h2 = (60.000)2- (40.000 - X)2  

Two things which are equal to  h2 , are also equal to one another (It is a property of "Equation" that   if z=p and z=q then p=q ):

     (50.000)2- X2 = (60.000)2- (40.000 - X)2  

Expand the above and simplify :

     (40.000)2 + (50.000)2 - (60.000)2 = 80.000 • X

     500.000 = 80.000 • X

     X = 6.250

Plug this for X in:  h2 = (50.000)2- X2  

     h2 = (50.000)2- ( 6.250)2  

     h2 = (2460.938)

h = sqrt (2460.938) = 49.6078  

Put the Triangle Area Formula to use:

Finally put the formula  Area = Base * Height * 0.5   to use:

    Area  = 40.000 • 49.608 • 0.5

    Area  = 992.1567  

Note that this result is identical to the one we got using Heron's Formula !

Area of Triangle Knowing all Sides :

    Sides: 50.000, 60.000, 40.000      Area  : 992.1567

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

ME = 1.653 *\frac{7.9}{\sqrt{300}}= \pm 0.75

±0.75 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: The Wisconsin Dairy Association is interested in estimating the mean weekly consumption of milk for adults over the age of 18 in that state. To do this, they have selected a random sample of 300 people from the designated population. The following results were recorded: xbar=34.5 ounces, s=7.9 ounces Given this information, if the leaders wish to estimate the mean milk consumption with 90 percent confidence, what is the approximate margin of error in the estimate?

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=34.5 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=7.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=300 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=300-1=299

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,199)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=1.653

And the margin of error is given by:

ME = 1.653 *\frac{7.9}{\sqrt{300}}= \pm 0.75

±0.75 ounce

What is 1 fifth of a clock?
Whitepunk [10]
2.4 hours or 2 hours and 24 minutes represents \frac{1}{5} of a clock. 

The easiest way to find this is to divide 12 by 5 since there are twelve hours on a clock. 
I got the 24 minutes by multiplying 60(minutes there are in an hour) by .4 and got 24.
