18 cm is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two smaller sides is greater that the largest side.

It is given that the two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 15 cm.

Case 1: Let 8 cm and 15 cm. are smaller side. So,

Third side < 8 + 15

Third side < 23

It means 3rd side must be less than 23

Case 2: Let 15 cm is the largest side.

15 < Third side + 8

15 - 8 < Third side

7 < Third side

It means 3rd side must be greater than 7.

Since only 18 is less than 23 and greater than 7, therefore the possible length of third sides is 18 cm and option 2 is correct.

What is the angular velocity of a 6–foot pendulum that takes 3 seconds to complete an arc of 14.13 feet?

son4ous [18]

First find the central angle A in degree. Perimeter circle 2Pi*R --> 360 deg Arc A = 14.13 --> x deg (360*14.13)/2Pi*R = 5086.8/37.68 = 135 deg The pendulum rotates 135 deg in 3 sec. Then, the angular velocity is : 135/3 = 45 deg/sec.

Hope this helps!

The mean yearly rainfall in Sydney, Australia, is about 134 mm and the standard deviation is about 66 mm ("Annual maximums of,"

svetlana [45]

Answer:

At least 202.44 mm in the top 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

$\mu = 134, \sigma = 66$
