Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 25

Standard deviation = 5

The percentage of trees between 20 and 30

20 trees = 1 standard deviation below the mean ; mean - 1(standard deviation)

25 - 5 = 20

30 trees = 1 standard deviation above the mean ;

Mean + 1(standard deviation) ;

25 + 5 = 30

This means, 20 and 30 lies ±1 standard deviation from the mean which according to the empirical rule is 68%

According to the empirical rule :

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

QT = RT

Step-by-step explanation:

When drawing triangle PQR the perpendicular bisector cuts the triangle in half, which results in two sides that are congruent. This makes QT and RT congruent.

a road follows the shape of a parabola f(x)=3x2– 24x + 39. A road that follows the function g(x) = 3x – 15 must cross the stream

Nonamiya [84]

the coordinates where the bridges must be built is $(3,-6)$ and $(6,3)$ .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , a road follows the shape of a parabola f(x)=3x2– 24x + 39. A road that follows the function g(x) = 3x – 15 must cross the stream at point A and then again at point B. Bridges must be built at those points.We need to find Identify the coordinates where the bridges must be built. Let's find out:

Basically we need to find values of x for which f(x) = g(x) :

⇒ $f(x)-g(x)=0$
