Answer:

18.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.

-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.

-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:

C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2

C^2 = 289 + 49

C^2 = 338

C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!

ANSWER THREE THROUGH FIVE , ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIST!!!
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3) diameter of penny = 19 mm

                          r = 19/2 = 9.5 mm

Area of penny = πr²

                        = 3.14 * 9.5 * 9.5

                         = 283.385

                         = 283.39 mm²

Diameter of nickel = 21 mm

                          r = 21/2 = 10.5 mm

Area of nickel  = πr²

                         = 3.14 * 10.5 *10.5

                        = 346.185

                        = 346.19 mm²

346.19 - 283.39 = 62.8 mm²

Area of Canadian nickel is greater than Canadian penny by 32.6 mm²

4)  r = 12 mm

Area of circle = πr²

                      = 3.14 * 12 * 12

                       =  452.16 mm²

5) r  = 20 cm

Area of circle =  πr²

                      = 3.14 * 20 * 20

                      = 1256 cm²

(1 point) A recent report for a regional airline reported that the mean number of hours of flying time for its pilots is 56 hour
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

(53.812 ; 58.188) ; 156

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Sample size (n) = 51

Mean (m) = 56

Standard deviation (σ) = 9.5

α = 90%

Using the relation :

Confidence interval = mean ± Error

Error = Zcritical * (standard deviation / sqrt (n))

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Error = 1.645 * (9.5 / sqrt(51))

Error = 1.645 * 1.3302660

Error = 2.1882877

Hence,

Confidence interval :

Lower boundary = 56 - 2.1882877 = 53.8117123

Upper boundary = 56 + 2.1882877 = 58.1882877

Confidence interval = (53.812 ; 58.188)

2.)

Margin of Error (ME) = 1.25

α = 90%

Sample size = ((Zcritical * σ) / ME)^2

Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Sample size = ((1.645 * 9.5) / 1.25)^2

Sample size = (15.6275 / 1.25)^2

Sample size = 12.502^2 = 156.3000

Sample size = 156

The weights (in pounds) of 18 preschool children are
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

22.8 and 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the

The weights (in pounds) of 18 preschool children are

32, 20, 25, 27, 31, 22, 30, 23, 44, 37, 33, 45, 41, 24, 34, 21, 39, 29

To find its 20th percentile and 75th percentile.

In ascending order we get like this

Position  X (Asc. Order)

1  20

2  21

3  22

4  23

5  24

6  25

7  27

8  29

9  30

10  31

11  32

12  33

13  34

14  37

15  39

16  41

17  44

18  45

Percentile position = (no of entries +1)20/100 = 19/5 = 3.8

Since posiiton is not integer we use interpolation method.

The value of 3.8 - 3 = 0.8 corresponds to the proportion of the distance between 22 and 23 where the percentile we are looking for is located at.

Hence 20th percentile = 22+0.8(23-22)=22.8

So answer is 22.8

----------------------

75th percentile

Percentile posiiton = 19(75)/100 = 14.25

75th percentile= 37+0.25(39-37)=37.5

The first part of a trip driving at 40 mph was 15 miles longer and took 30 minutes longer than the second part of the trip drivi
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

65 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two simultaneous equations . Remeber that v=d/t, 1hour = 60 minutes.

1. 40 = (d+15)/(t+0.5)

2. 50 = d/t

solving: d= 25 miles and t=0.5 hours.

The distance traveled is:

D=d+d+15

D=65 miles
