Answer:

  • x = 8√3
  • y = z = 12√2

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume you want the values of x, y, and z.

__

There are two "special triangles" in geometry and trigonometry. They are the 30°-60°-90° right triangle that is half of an equilateral triangle, and the 45°-45°-90° isosceles right triangle that is half a square (cut by the diagonal).

The side ratios of these special triangles are relatively easy to remember. It is useful to memorize them.

__

For the isosceles right triangle, the side lengths are the same. The Pythagorean theorem tells you that if they are both 1, then the hypotenuse is ...

  √(1²+1²) = √2

That is, the side lengths of the 45-45-90 triangle are in the ratio ...

  1 : 1 : √2

__

For the triangle that is half an equilateral triangle, you know the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shortest side (since we got that short side by cutting a long side in half). Then the longer side can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

  √(2²-1²) = √3

That is, the side lengths of the 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio ...

  1 : √3 : 2

_____

In this problem, we're given the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle, so we know the short side of it (x) will be half that length:

  x = (16√3)/2

  x = 8√3

The hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle will be √3 times x, so will be ...

  long side of small triangle = (√3)(8√3) = 24

The shorter sides of that 45-45-90 triangle will be this value divided by the square root of 2, so are ...

  y = z = 24/√2

We can multiply this by (√2)/(√2) to "rationalize the denominator".

  y = z = 12√2

if each of the 4 shelves holds 14 movies, how many movies does betty have on her shelving unit? show your work
Ede4ka [16]
I’m assuming you meant in each shelf there is 14 movies, and there is 4 shelves, so you would multiply 14 x 4 which would be 56 movies

Consider the following hypothesis test H0 p 20 Ha p 20 A sample of 400 provided a sample proportion p 175 a Compute the value of
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a) -1.25

b) 0.2112

c) -1.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sample size, n = 400

H0 : p = 20

\bar{p} = 175

Now,

a) The test statistic is  given as:

Z = \frac{(\bar{p}-p)}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

on substituting the respective values, we get

Z = \frac{(0.175-0.2)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2\times0.8}{400}}}

= -1.25

b) The p-value = 2 × P(Z <-1.25)

Now from the standard normal table

P(Z <-1.25) = 10.56% = 0.1056

Thus,

p-value = 2 × 1056 = 0.2112

c) for a = 0.05,

the critical value is Z_{\frac{a}{2}}=Z_{\frac{0.05}{2}} i.e Z_{0.025}

Now from standard normal table

Z_{0.025} = -1.96
