Answer:

x = 35, y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, their sides must be proportional with means all of them have a common ratio.

If NM = 16, and KJ = 40. 40/16 is the ratio from ∆<u>NM</u>L to ∆<u>JK</u>L. The reciprocal(numerator and denominator flip, the product of a number and it's reciprocal is 1) of this is true from ∆JKL to ∆NML.

Now to find the missing sides you multiply a side by the common ratio to find it's corresponding side length.

Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of that number.

40/16 can be reduced to 5/2 or 2 ½ as a mixed fraction.

16/40 can be reduced to 2/5 or 0.4 as a decimal.

Since the scale of ∆JKL is greater than ∆NML, you multiply by 5/2 to get the corresponding side of ∆JKL from ∆NML.

Since the scale of ∆NML is less than ∆JKL, you multiply by 2/5 to get the corresponding side of ∆NNL from ∆JKL.

Therefore x = 14 × 5/2 = 70/2 = 35.

y = 45 × 2/5 = 90/5 = 18.

A red-light flashes every 28 seconds. A green light flashes every 24

Maslowich

Answer:

168 seconds

I edited the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the the time taken for both lights to flash at the same time, we need to find the lowest common multiple of 28 and 24.

28 x 6 = 168, 24 x 7 = 168

The LCM of 28 and 24 is 168.

So it takes 168 seconds for both lights to flash at the same time.

Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a) 0.0869 = 8.69% probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

b) 0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

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:

$\mu = 4.9, \sigma = 1.4$
