The diagonal of a suitcase measures 30 inches and the height is 18 inches. What is the width of the suitcase to the

In the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. The measurements provided here are 30, and 18. 30 is c and 18 is either a or b (it doesn’t matter) 30 is c because it is specified as a diagonal. In reverse to the Theorem, it would be 30^2-18^2= a^2 that would be 900-324. You would then square root what you got for “a” to find your answer. It would be 24.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem we know

h^2=x^2+y^2 (where h is the hypotenuse and x and y are sides of a right triangle)

w^2+18^2=30^2

w^2=30^2-18^2

w^2=900-324

w^2=576

w=24 in

Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.

KatRina [158]

AB = AU + UB = 20x + 108 + 273 = 20x + 381

$\cfrac{AU}{AB} =\cfrac{UV}{BC} \\ \\ \cfrac{20x+108}{20x+381} =\cfrac{444}{703} \\ \\ 703(20x+108)=444(20x+381)\\\\14060x+75924=8880x+169164 \\ \\ 14060x-8880x = 169164 - 75924 \\ \\ 5180x = 93240 \\ \\ x=93240/5180 \\ \\ x=18$

Suppose that a market research firm is hired to estimate the percent of adults living in a large city who have cell phones. 500

Alborosie

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of adults residents of this city who have cell phones is (0.81, 0.874).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

$n = 500, \pi = \frac{421}{500} = 0.842$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.842 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.842*0.158}{500}} = 0.81$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.842 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.842*0.158}{500}} = 0.874$

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of adults residents of this city who have cell phones is (0.81, 0.874).

Please answer!! THIS IS ALL THE POINTS I HAVE LEFT SINCE NOBODY IS ANSWERING MY OTHER QUESTIONS :(

Answer:

The height of the parallelogram relates to the height of the circle because it is equal to the radius of the circle. The height goes from the circumference to the point of any section of the circle. I hope this helps.
