Answer:

Mean = 5 feet 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 feet = 12 inches

Height of Dad = 6 feet 2 inches  = {(6 × 12)+2} = 74 inches

Mom is 3 inches shorter than dad = 74 - 3 = 71 inches (5 ft 11 in)

Since mom is 2 inches taller than Ivan,

Height of Ivan = 71 - 2 = 69 inches  (5 ft 9 in)

Marica is 5 inches shorter than Ivan,

Height of Marica = 69 - 5 = 64 inches  (5 ft 4 in)

Marica is twice as tall as Sally-Jo.

Height of Sally-Jo = 64 ÷ 2 = 32 inches (2 ft 8 in)

Hence the mean height of the Schuller family

= \frac{74+71+69+64+32}{5}

= 62 inches

converting 62 inches to feet = \frac{62}{12} = 5 feet 2 inches

Mean height of the Schuller family is 5 feet 2 inches.

Write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence below: (Equation NEEDS to be written as gn=7(5)^(n-1) or as gn=2/3(
andriy [413]

Answer:

You didn't give the geometric sequence in question.

But to find the nth term of a geometric sequence, use the formula

Sn = ar^(n - 1)

Where a is the first term of the sequence

r is the common ratio of the sequence.

Example: To find the nth term of the geometric sequence

1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ...

Here, a = 1/2

r = 1/4 ÷ 1/2 = 1/8 ÷ 1/4 = 1/16 ÷ 1/8 = 1/2.

Sn = (1/2)(1/2)^( n - 1)

Apply this method to the sequence you were given, it will be helpful.

IT WUU Tate for school on a
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Number of students = 441 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Percent of women = 40%

Percent of women = 35.5%

Total number of people = 1,800

Find:

Number of students

Computation:

Percent of student = 100% - 35.5% - 40%

Percent of student = 24.5%

Number of students = 1,800 x Percent of student

Number of students = 1,800 x 24.5%

Number of students = 441 Students

Can two lines be drawn from a point not on a line that will meet the line at a right angle? at a 45° angle? explain each answer.
vichka [17]
I believe the the correct answer would be yes. Two lines can be drawn from a point that is not collinear with a certain line that will meet the line at a right angle or 90 degree angle and at an angle of 45 degrees. We can freely draw any line that would pass through a given point and would cross a given line at any direction giving us different angles and this would include a 90 and 45 degree angle.

What is the height of an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 15? round to tenths?
Vinil7 [7]
If this is an equilateral triangle, we need half of it to find the height which is a leg of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 15.  That means that the base of this half triangle is 7.5.  Use Pythagorean's Theorem to fine the height.  x^{2} =(15) ^{2} -(7.5) ^{2}.  x = 12.99 or 13
