Determine the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the legs have lengths 12 inches and 16 inches?

Mathematics

Answer:

c = 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sides of a right triangle, you use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a² + b² = c²

You know a and b, and you need to find c, the hypotenuse.

Plug in a and b.

(12)² + (16)² = c²

Simplify by solving the exponents.

144 + 256 = c²

Combine the constants.

400 = c²

Take the square root of both sides.

√400 = √c²

Solve the √

±20 = c

The length cannot be negative, so you can eliminate that as an option.

So, c = 20

natita [175]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Do you need an explanation?

387,500 /100 = 3,875

3,875 * 0.43 = 1,666.25

I multiplied, because, if you divide with a decimal, the number increases, instead of decreasing... hope this helps!

A hospital’s financial reimbursement payor mix indicates 35% of the patients have Medicare and 15% have Medicaid. Of those who h
Damm [24]

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.035 = 3.5% probability that a hospital patient has both Medicare and Medicaid.

<h3>What is Conditional Probability?</h3>
  • <em>Conditional probability</em> is the <u>probability of one event happening, considering a previous event</u>. The formula is:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

  • P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
  • P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.
  • P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, the events are:

  • Event A: Patient has Medicare.
  • Event B: Patient has Medicaid.

For the probabilities, we have that:

  • 35% of the patients have Medicare, hence P(A) = 0.35.
  • Of those who have Medicare, there is a 10% chance they also have Medicaid, hence P(B|A) = 0.1.

Then, applying the <em>conditional </em>probability:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

0.1 = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{0.35}

P(A \cap B) = 0.35(0.1)

P(A \cap B) = 0.035

0.035 = 3.5% probability that a hospital patient has both Medicare and Medicaid.
