Answer:

Given the statement: Kite QRST has a short diagonal of QS and a long diagonal of RT. The diagonals intersect at point P.

Properties of Kite:

  • The diagonals are perpendicular
  • Two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent by definition of kite
  • One diagonal  is the perpendicular bisector to the other diagonal.

It is given that: Side QR = 5m and diagonal QS = 6m.

Then, by properties of kite:

QP = \frac{1}{2}QS

Substitute the value of QS we get QP;

QP = \frac{1}{2}(6) = 3 m

Now, in right angle \triangle RPQ

Using Pythagoras theorem:

QR^2= RP^2 +QP^2

Substitute the given values we get;

(5)^2= RP^2 +(3)^2

or

25= RP^2 +9

Subtract 9 from both sides we get;

16= RP^2

Simplify:

RP = \sqrt{16} = 4 m

Therefore, the length of segment RP is, 4m

Answer:

PR=4m

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we will draw diagram  for kite

we are given

QR=5m

QS=6m

we know that QPR is a right angled triangle

so, QP=PS

QP=\frac{1}{2} QS

QP=\frac{1}{2}\times 6

QP=3

now, we can use Pythagoras theorem

QR^2=QP^2+PR^2

now, we can plug values

5^2=3^2+PR^2

PR=4

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers do not have infinite decimals.

Option 1:

-5, 3/4 and √49 are all rational. Correct

√49 = 7

3/4 = 0.75

-5 = -5

Option 2:

1/4 = 0.25

5 = 5

√12 = 3.4641...

Incorrect

Option 3:

-1/2 = -0.5

-3 = -3

√8 = 2.82841...

Incorrect

Option 4:

1/7 = 0.142857...

9 = 9

√11  = 3.31662...

Bond [772]

If Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week. Then the mean of the sample is 3.75.

<h3>What is Mean?</h3>

The average of a group of numbers is simply defined as the mean. In statistics, the mean is regarded as one of the indicators of central tendency.

Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week.

Fourteen people answered that they generally sell two cars; nineteen generally sell three cars; twelve generally sell four cars; nine generally sell five cars; eleven generally sell six cars.

Then the mean of the sample will be

\rm Mean = \dfrac{1}{N} \times \Sigma _{i}   \ \ x_if_i

Then the table is given below.

Then we have

\rm Mean = \dfrac{1}{65} \times (244)\\\\\\Mean = 3.7538\\\\Mean \approx 3.75

More about the mean link is given below.
