I can use the angle and the length of JH to find the length of IJ.

To do this, I look at the relationship IJ and JH have to the 52 degree angle. JH is opposite to angle I, and IJ is adjacent to angle I. Because the two side lengths are opposite and adjacent, I use the tangent function to solve this.

Tangent of an angle = the length of the opposite side / the length of the adjacent side. This is just another way to say tan(x)=opposite/adjacent

Now I can fill in what I know...
tan(52)=4.2/x
Now, I want to isolate x.
tan(52) = 4.2/x
x(tan(52))=4.2
x=4.2/tan(52)

Now I put 4.2/tan(52) into a calculator and get x = 3.3 ft

Hope this helps!

Consider a system with one component that is subject to failure, and suppose that we have 115 copies of the component. Suppose f

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

the mean $(\mu) = 115 \times 20$

= 2300

Standard deviation = $20 \times \sqrt{115}$

Standard deviation (SD) = 214.4761

TO find:

a) $P(x > 3500)= P(Z > \dfrac{3500-\mu}{214.4761})$

$P(x > 3500)= P(Z > \dfrac{3500-2300}{214.4761})$

$P(x > 3500)= P(Z > \dfrac{1200}{214.4761})$

$P(x > 3500)= P(Z >5.595)$

From the Z-table, since 5.595 is > 3.999

$P(x > 3500)=1-0.9999$

P(x > 3500) = 0.0001

Here, the replacement time for the mean $(\mu) = \dfrac{0+0.5}{2}$

= 0.25

Replacement time for the Standard deviation $\sigma = \dfrac{0.5-0}{\sqrt{12}}$

$\sigma = 0.1443$

For 115 component, the mean time = (115 × 20)+(114×0.25)

= 2300 + 28.5

= 2328.5

Standard deviation = $\sqrt{(115\times 20^2) +(114\times (0.1443)^2)}$

= $\sqrt{(115\times 400) +(114\times 0.02082249}$

= $\sqrt{(46000) +2.37376386}$

= $\sqrt{(46000) +(2.37376386)}$

= $\sqrt{46002.374}$

= 214.482

Now; the required probability:

$P(x > 4125) = P(Z > \dfrac{4125- 2328.5}{214.482})$

$P(x > 4125) = P(Z > \dfrac{1796.5}{214.482})$

$P(x > 4125) = P(Z >8.376)$

$P(x > 4125) =1- P(Z$

From the Z-table, since 8.376 is > 3.999

P(x > 4125) = 1 - 0.9999

P(x > 4125) = 0.0001

Rectangle ABCD has vertices at (-7,-2); (1, -2); (1, -8); and (-7, -8) respectively. If GHJK is a similar rectangle where G(2, 5

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

J (6,2) K (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Now distance of AB = [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

= 8 units

CB = [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

= 6 units by using same formula

Now AB/CB must equal to GH/HJ as rectangles are similar

GH = [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

= 4 units

8/6 = 4/HJ

So,

HJ = 3 units

Now if we see the coordinates given carefully, it is obvious that two perpendicular lines lie perfectly parallel to x and y coordinates in rectangle ABCD. A is (-7,-2) and B is (1,-2) which means distance along y-axis doesn't change. Similarly for C (1,-8) and D (-7,-8), one can see that distance between y-axis doesn't change. So lines AB and CD of rectangle are parallel with x and AD and BC are parallel with y-axis.

In rectangle GHJK one can see that in given coordinates, G(2,5) and H(6,5), y coordinate is same so it is parallel to x axis. Now, HJ is perpendicular to GH so it must be parallel to y axis. It means if we know the lengths of sides we can easily determine unknown coordinates by simple addition and subtraction.

So, we know HJ = 3 units

J is (6,2) since HJ is parallel to y axis so distance on x axis will remain unchanged and length of line HJ will effect distance of y axis.

Similarly K is (2,2) for the same reason.

Hey im struggling i need help pleaseee

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite angles of the inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary

∠A + ∠C = 180 and ∠B + ∠D = 180

∠B + ∠D = 93 + x + 30 = x + 123, hence

x + 123 = 180 ( subtract 123 from both sides )

x = 57 → D
