Something that a right triangle is characterised by is the fact that we may use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of any one of its sides, given that we know the length of the other two sides. Here, we know the length of the hypotenuse and one other side, therefor we can easily use the theorem to solve for the remaining side.
Now, Pythagoras' Theorem is defined as follows:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.
Given that we know that c = 24 and a = 8, we can find b by substituting c and a into the formula we defined above:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
24^2 = 8^2 + b^2 (Substitute c = 24 and a = 8)
b^2 = 24^2 - 8^2 (Subtract 8^2 from both sides)
b = √(24^2 - 8^2) (Take the square root of both sides)
b = √512 (Evaluate 24^2 - 8^2)
b = 16√2 (Simplify √512)
= 22.627 (to three decimal places)
I wasn't sure about whether by 'approximate length' you meant for the length to be rounded to a certain number of decimal places or whether you were meant to do more of an estimate based on your knowledge of surds and powers. If you need any more clarification however don't hesitate to comment below.
Answer:
1. 90% 2. 10% 3. 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard Deviation (σ) = 50 days
Average/Mean (μ) = 300days
Probability that it would last more than 300 days = P(Bulb>300 days)
We will assume there are 365 days in a year.
P(Bulb>300 days) implies that the bulb would
Using the normal equation;
z = standard/normal score = (x-μ)/σ where x is the value to be standardized
P(Bulb>300 days) implies x = 365 days
Therefore z = (365-300)/50 = 1.3
Using the normal graph for z=1.3, probability = 90%
2. P(Bulb<300 days) = 1 - P(Bulb>300 days)\
P(Bulb<300 days) = 1 - 0.9
P(Bulb<300 days) = 10%
3. P(Bulb=300 days) implies z=0 since x=300
Using the normal graph for z=0, probability =50%
Answer:
Graph C with the green dots.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 0.5x + 5 is a linear equation, so we can rule out A because it is not straight.
5 represents the y-intercept, so we rule out B because that graph doesn't intercept the y-axis at (0,5).
Graph C represents a straight line that passes through (0, 5) & has a 0.5 slope, so that is our answer.
Hope this helps. :0)
Answer:
6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term a1 = 6 and the common ratio is 2.
So it is 6, 6*2, 6*2^2 ....
