Answer:

The length of the diagonal support is 69 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the box: length = 6 feet

width = 5 feet

height = 8 feet

The diagonal support relates with the diagonal of the base and the height.

From the base of the box, let the length of its diagonal be represented by x. Applying Pythagoras theorem;

$/Hyp/^{2}$ = $/Adj 1/^{2}$ + $/Adj 2/^{2}$

$x^{2}$ = $6^{2}$ + $5^{2}$

$x^{2}$ = 36 + 25

= 61

x = $\sqrt{61}$

= 7.81

let the length of the diagonal support be represented by l. So that;

$/Hyp/^{2}$ = $/Adj 1/^{2}$ + $/Adj 2/^{2}$

$l^{2}$ = $x^{2}$ + $8^{2}$

= $\sqrt{61}$ + 64

l = $\sqrt{\sqrt{61} + 64 }$

= 61 + 8

= 69

Thus, the length of the diagonal support is 69 feet.

What is the equation of a line passing through the points (-3,<br> -2) and (2, 0)?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$y=0.400x+-0.800$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

point A = (-3, -2)
point B = (2, 0)

To write the equation of the line that passes through two points we have to write the points in slope intercept form.

Formula for slope intercept:

$y=mx+b$

M is equal to the slope of the two points, so first we need to fine the slope of the two points.

$(-3,-2)=(x1,y1)$
$(2,0)=(x2,y2)$

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
$m=\frac{0--2}{2--3} =\frac{2}{5}$
$m=\frac{2}{5} =0.400$

$y=mx+b$
$y=-2$
$m=0.400$
$x=-3$
$-2=0.400(-3)+b$
$0.400\times-3=-1.20$
$-2+1.2=-0.800$
$b=-0.800$

$y=0.400x+-0.800$

Hope this helps.

In a missile-testing program, one random variable of interest is the distance between the point at which the missile lands and t

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data

we observed that the missile testing program

Y1 and Y2 are variable, they are also independent

We are aware that

$(Y_1)^2 and (Y_2)^2$ have $x^2$ distribution with 1 degree of freedom

and $V=(Y_1^2)+(Y_2)^2$ has x^2 with 2 degree of freedom

$F_v(v)=\frac{e^{-\frac{v}{2}}}2$

Since we have to find the density formula

$U=\sqrt{V}$

We use method of transformation

$h(V)=\sqrt{U}\\\\=U$

There inverse function is $h^-^1(U)=U^2$

We derivate the fuction above with respect to u

$\frac{d}{du} (h^-^1(u))=\frac{d}{du} (u^2)\\\\=2u^2^-^1\\\\=2u$

Therefore,

$F_v(u)=F_v(h-^1)(u)\frac{dh^-^1}{du} \\\\=\frac{e^-\frac{u^-^}{2} }{2} (2u)\\\\=e^-{\frac{u^2}{2} }U$

What’s the geometric mean of 3 square roots of 5 and 5 square roots of 5

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

5√3

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>geometric mean</em> (GM) of two numbers x and y is the square root of their product.

Thus, the GM of x and y is √(xy).

The GM of 3√5 and 5√5

= √(3√5 × 5√5)

= √[3 × 5 × (√5)²]

= √(3 × 5 × 5)

= √(3 × 5²)

= 5√3
