Answer:

  34.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Where a, b, c are the sides of a right triangle with c as the hypotenuse, it tells you ...

  a² + b² = c²

  a = √(c² -b²)

  base-to-string = √(39² -18²) = √1197 ≈ 34.598

The distance from the base of the pole to the end of the string is about 34.6 feet.

The parallelogram shown below has an area of <br> 20 units squared. Find the missing base
valkas [14]

Answer: 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is A=bh. SInce we know the area and the height, we can directly plug the values into this equation and solve for the base.

20=b(4)         [divide both sides by 4]

b=5 units

[PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS] The following data points represent the number of quesadillas each person at Toby's Tacos ate. So
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Part 1: Already solved.

Part 2: 1 quesadilla.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: The data points given are 0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1, 1, 1, 5/4, 2, and 2.

The data are already sorted from least to greatest.

Part 2: To get the interquartile range, we must know the first and third quartiles. To find those, we need to know the median of the data.

There are 11 data points, so we can cross out 5 numbers on the left and cross out 5 numbers on the right. That leaves a median of 1.

Since we know the median is 1, we can find the first quartile by finding the median of the following numbers: 0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2 (any number less than 1). There are five numbers, so cross out two numbers from the left and cross out two numbers from the right. We are left with a first quartile of 1/4.

Now that we have the first quartile, we need to find the third quartile. Since the median was actually the first "1" in the data set, the third quartile will be the median of the numbers to the right of that "1": 1, 1, 5/4, 2, 2. Cross out the leftmost two numbers, and cross out the rightmost two numbers. We are left with a third quartile of 5/4.

Now that we have both the third and first quartiles, we can find the interquartile range! The IQR is calculated by finding the third quartile minus the first quartile. 5/4 - 1/4 = 4/4 = 1.

So, your interquartile range is 1 quesadilla.

Hope this helps!
