Answer:

8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay lets get our variables and notes down first, I'll use the most common terms for this.

Hypotenuse: 12 ft <-- The ladder is the hypotenuse

Leg: 9 <- The height of the top of the ladder on the house

Base: ? <- We need to solve for it.

Pythagorean Theorem says c²-a²=b²

c = Hypotenuse

a & b are both Legs and interchangeable

12²-9²=b²

144-81=b²

     63=b²

   \sqrt{63}=\sqrt{b^{2} }

   3\sqrt{7}=b which is approximately 7.93 which rounds up to 8

The commuting time for a student to travel from home to a college campus is normally distributed with a mean of 30 minutes and a
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the commuting time for the student. We know that X\sim N(30, (5)^2). Then, the normal probability density function for the random variable X is given by

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi(5)^{2}}}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2(5)^{2}}]. We are seeking the probability P(X>35) because the student leaves home at 8:25 A.M., we want to know the probability that the student will arrive at the college campus later than 9 A.M. and between 8:25 A.M. and 9 A.M. there are 35 minutes of difference. So,

 

P(X>35) = \int\limits_{35}^{\infty}f(x)dx = 0.1587

To find this probability you can use either a table from a book or a programming language. We have used the R statistical programming language an the instruction pnorm(35, mean = 30, sd = 5, lower.tail = F)

How do u get the area of a circle?
galina1969 [7]

Answer: πr^2

Step-by-step explanation:

π is pie which is about 3.14

but you need to find the radius and square it is multiply it by itself (Example radius = 2 so 2x2=4)

then multiply the radius squared by π(pie) which is 3.14 or use a calculator.
