The segments formed by the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle are 8 and 10. Find the shorter leg of that triangle.

Mathematics

Tom [10]3 years ago

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hypothenuse is 10 and the larger leg of the triangle is given as 8, the shorter leg will be calculated as the square of the hypothenuse minus the square of the longer leg after which we find the square root of the value gotten. This will be:

Shorter leg² = 10² - 8²

Shorter leg² = 100 - 64

Shorter leg² = 36

Shorter leg = ✓36

Shorter leg = 6

Given that z is a standard normal random variable, find z for each situation.
cestrela7 [59]
You have to use your standard normal table (or calculator) for these. The area under the curve should be 1, a z-value corresponds to the probability and is area to the left of that z.

a. A simple reverse lookup of 0.9750. z=1.96

b. Total area up to z would be 0.5+0.4750, so reverse look up 0.9750 and find z=1.96

c. A simple reverse lookup. z=0.61

d. Area to the left of z would b 1-0.1314, so lookup 0.8686 and find z=1.12

e. A simple reverse lookup. z=0.44

f. Just invert the area: 1-0.33 = 0.67 and reverse lookup: z=0.44
