Answer:

Equation for x: 3x - 6 = $\frac{2x - 1 + 25}{2}$

x = 9

CD = 17

GH = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment formula for a trapezoid is

GH = $\frac{CD + FE}{2}$

3x - 6 = $\frac{2x - 1 + 25}{2}$

6x - 12 = 2x + 24

4x = 36

x = 9

CD = 2x - 1 = 2(9) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

GH = 3x - 6 = 3(9) - 6 = 3 = 27 - 6 = 21

Which of the following is NOT an integer? 1,-3,0,0.25

Darya [45]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions and decimals are not integers. Any and all whole numbers, 1, 2,3, 4, -1, -2, -3, -4 etc. are integers. 0.25 is a decimal and therefore not an integer.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!

A statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20% of Evergreen Valley College (EVC) students attended the opening night midni

Alex17521 [72]

Answer: It is believed that exactly 20% of Evergreen Valley college students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest harry potter movie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 84

x = 11

So, $\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{11}{84}=0.13$

p = 0.20

So, hypothesis:

$H_0:p=\hat{p}\\\\H_a:\hat{p}$

so, test statistic value would be

$z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{0.13-0.20}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2\times 0.8}{84}}}\\\\z=-1.604$

At 1% level of significance, critical value would be

z= 2.58

Since 2.58>-1.604

So, We will accept the null hypothesis.

Hence, It is believed that exactly 20% of Evergreen Valley college students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest harry potter movie.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

PROBLEM A

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

V = πr²h, where πr² is the area of the base.

V = area of base x height

Choose any four numbers that are less than 10 for the height.
Then, substitute into the formula and isolate "r". 10 = πr²h
Double "r" to find the diameter.
The area of the base is found (bolded) while you solve πr².

*I will use the calculator button for pi (π)

Cylinder A: h = 1

10 = πr²h

10 = πr²(1)

10 = πr² Area of the base is 10m².

r = √ (10/π)

r = 1.78 Radius is 1.78m.

d = 2r = 1.78*2 = 3.56 Diameter is 3.56m.

Cylinder B: h = 2

10 = πr²h

10 = πr²(2)

5 = πr² Area of the base is 5m².

r = √ (5/π)

r = 1.26 Radius is 1.26m.

d = 2r = 1.26*2 = 2.52 Diameter is 2.52m.

Cylinder C: h = 4

10 = πr²h

10 = πr²(4)

2.5 = πr² Area of the base is 2.5m².

r = √ (2.5/π)

r = 0.89 Radius is 0.89m.

d = 2r = 0.89*2 = 1.78 Diameter is 1.78m.

Cylinder D: h = 5

10 = πr²h

10 = πr²(5)

2 = πr² Area of the base is 2m².

r = √ (2/π)

r = 0.80 Radius is 0.8m.

d = 2r = 0.80*2 = 1.6 Diameter is 1.6m.

The answers are reasonable if the answer is close to 10 when you substitute the rounded numbers back into the formula and solve.

There are infinite possibilities because any numbers when used in the formula equates to 10 are possible. The height/radius can be any decimal number, which would make the other dimensions change.

PROBLEM B

Follow similar steps if you know the diameter of a cylinder. Use the same formula V = πr²h.

We need the radius, which is half the diameter. r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5

Choose a random number for volume that divides easily by 25.
Substitute "V" and "r²" (r² = 25).
Isolate "h".
The area of the base is 78.54 cm² every time (A = πr²).

Cylinder A: V = 100

100 = π25h

4 = πh

h = 1.27 The height is 1.27m.

Cylinder B: V = 200

200 = π25h

8 = πh

h = 2.55 The height is 2.55m.

Cylinder C: V = 75

75 = π25h

3 = πh

h = 0.95 The height is 0.95m.

Cylinder D: V = 125

125 = π25h

5 = πh

h = 1.59 The height is 1.59m.

The answers are reasonable if I can substitute two rounded values into the formula and get a number close to the third. The height is also a decimal number which occurs because of pi.

Pablo May 323 for 17 hours of work at the same rate how many hours would he have to work to make $95

shepuryov [24]

Pablo made $323 for 17 hours of work at the same rate how many hours would he have to work to make $95.

Hourly rate = $323/17=$19
Number of hours required to make $95
=$95/($19/hour)
=5 hours.

What is sin 28°? plzzz help

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin(28) is approximately 0.4695

After rewriting all of the options as a decimal:

a) 0.8823

b) 1.875

c) 0.4706

d) 0.5333

when rounding the sin(28) to the nearest hundredth... you get 0.47

Therefore, sin(28) is c) $\frac{8}{17}$
