Find the missing length

Mathematics
1 answer:
jasenka [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

For this you will have to use pythagoras’ theorem.

The formula for the shorter side of this triangle is u²=c²-b² (or in this case u²=17²-8²).

17²=289

8²=64

The formula becomes u²=289-64 or u²=225

Then to find u on its own you have to square root 225.

The square root of 225 is 15.

What price do farmers get for the peach crops? in the third week of June, a random sample of 40 farming regions gave a sample me
prohojiy [21]
Given:
Sample size, n = 40
Sample mean, xb = $6.88
Population std. deviation, σ = $1.92 (known)
Confidence interval = 90%

Assume normal distribution for the population.
The confidence interval is
(xb + 1.645*(σ/√n), xb - 1.645*(σ/√n)
= (6.88 + (1.645*1.92)/√40, 6.88 - (1.645*1.92)/√40)
= (7.38, 6.38)

Answer: The 90% confidence interval is (7.38, 6.38)

2. A chemist wants to make 4 liters of a 7% acid solution by mixing a 10% acid solution and a 4% acid solution. How many liters
GarryVolchara [31]

Let x be the number of liters of the 10% solution to be used, and y the number of liters of the 4% solution. The chemist wants to end up with a 4 liter solution, so

x+y=4

For each liter used in the mixture, a concentration of either 10% or 4% acid will be contributed, and the goal is to make a 4L solution whose concentration is 7%, which means

0.1x+0.04y=0.07(x+y)=0.28

Solving for x,y gives x=y=2, so 2L of both solutions is needed.
