If both triangles are similar then ratio of sides will be same.

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{12}{14}=\dfrac{y}{21}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 12(21)=14y$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 14y=252$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\dfrac{252}{14}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=18$

Answer:

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{BC}{EF}$ = $\frac{AC}{DF}$ , substitute values

$\frac{y}{12}$ = $\frac{21}{14}$ ( cross- multiply )

14y = 252 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 18

The scores of 1000 students on a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 5. wha

ra1l [238]

We are looking to find P(X>60 students)

X is normally distributed with mean 50 and standard deviation 5

We need to find the z-score of 60 students
$Z= \frac{60-50}{5}=2$

To find the probability of P(Z>2), we can do 1 - P(Z<2)
So we read the probability when Z<2 which is 0.9772, then subtract from one we get 0.0228

The number of students that has score more than 60 is 0.0228 x 1000 = 228 students

$\bf{1) \ x^4-61x^2+900=0 }$

Applying the factorization method, for example:

$\bf{ 0=(x^2)^2-61(x^2)+900=(x^2-36)(x^2-25)}$

$\bf{\\ &=(x+6)(x-6)(x+5)(x-5); }$

$\bf{ x_1=6 \quad x_2=-6 \quad \ \ \ x_3=5 \quad x_4=5 }$

$\bf{2) \ x^4-25x^2+144=0 }$

Applying the factorization method:

$\bf{0&=(x^2)^2-25(x^2)+144=(x^2-16)(x^2-9) }$

$\bf{ =(x-4)(x+4)(x-3)(x+3); }$

$\bf{ x_1=4 \quad x_2=-4 \quad x_3=3 \quad x_4=-3 }$

2. It costs Edgar $2.65 one way to ride the bus to work. He uses the bus to go to and from work four days per week. He buys a bo

Maurinko [17]

$27

2.65 x 2 (since he has to go both to and from work each day) = $5.30
Add the daily cost of the water bottle (1.45) to make his total cost for one day, which is 6.75
Multiply this number by 4 (because he goes 4 days a week) to get $27 for one week.
