For the following right triangle, find the side length x. 12 16 х

Mathematics
1 answer:
makvit [3.9K]3 years ago

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

which side is x ? the Hypotenuse - the side opposite of the 90 degree angle ? or is it one side touching the 90 degree angle ?

that is important. we need to know which side is the Hypotenuse to make the right calculations.

if I assume x is the Hypotenuse, then the calculation follows Pythagoras like this

x² = 12² + 16² = 144 + 256 = 400

x = sqrt(400) = 20

but just in case, if x is a side touching the 90 degrees angle, then the would look like this (depending on which of the other sides is the Hypotenuse)

either

12² = 16² + x²

144 = 256 + x²

-112 = x²

that did not work. a square root of a negative number did not work for actual distances.

or

16² = 12² + x²

256 = 144 + x²

112 = x²

x = sqrt(112) = 10.58

Find the area of this figure.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

216 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, first lets knock out the rectangle. This would be found by doing L * H. For the length it would be 14. For the height, it would be 12.

14 * 12 = 168

Next with the triangle, it has a length, or "base" of 8 and the same height of 12. For a triangle, do (B * H) / 2 as the formula.

(8 * 12) / 2

96 / 2

48

Now, combine these two values to get the total:

168 + 48 = 216 cm^2

All done!

An airplane climbs at an angle of 2.7" from an altitude of 4500 ft to an altitude of 5600 ft. How far does the airplane travel a
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

  23,325 ft, about 4.42 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle, where the side adjacent to the 2.7° angle of climb is the horizontal distance, and the side opposite is the vertical change in altitude. That change is ...

  5600 ft -4500 ft = 1100 ft

and the angle relation is ...

  tan(2.7°) = opposite/adjacent = (1100 ft)/(horizontal distance)

Multiplying this equation by (horizontal distance)/tan(2.7°) gives ...

   horizontal distance = (1100 ft)/tan(2.7°) ≈ 23,325 ft

Dividing this by 5280 ft/mi gives ...

  horizontal distance ≈ 4.42 mi

The airplane travels about 23,325 ft, or 4.42 miles, horizontally as it climbs.

A student believes that no more than 20% (i.e., (less than or equal to) 20%) of the students who finish a statistics course get
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Your study variable is

X: Number of students that finished tha statistics course with an a, in a sample of 100 students.

This variable has a binomial distribution X~Bi(n;ρ)

The student believes that no more than 20% of the students pass the course with an A. This percentage is the population proportion symbolically: ρ ≤ 0.20, and is your null hypothesis., so:

a.

H₀: ρ ≤ 0.20

H₁: ρ > 0.20

α: 0,01

The statistic to use is the Z approximation for the proportions. To assemble this statistic, the central limit theorem is applied, this theorem allows us, at a sufficiently large sample size (n≥30), to approximate the distribution of the sample proportion (^p) to normal:

^p ≈ N(p; p(1-p)(1/n))

The statistic formula is:

Z=<u>     ^p - p     </u>≈ N(0;1)

   √p(1-p)(1/n)

the sample proportion is ^p= 0.24

b.

Z=<u>     0.24 - 0.2      </u>= 1

   √0.2*0.8(1/100)

The rejection region of this hypothesis is one-tailed (positive) If you ever have trouble identifying the type of rejection region look at the direction of the alternative hypothesis, if it has the symbol < then is a one-tailed, to the left,  rejection region. If it has the symbol > then is a one-tailed, to the right, rejection region and if it has the ≠ symbol, it means the rejection region is "split" in two, i.e. two-tailed.

The critical value is:

Z_{1-\alpha } = Z_{0.99} = 2.33

If Z ≥ 2.33, then you reject the null hypothesis.

If Z < 2.33, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

The decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

c.

The p-value is defined as the probability corresponding to the calculated statistic if possible under the null hypothesis (i.e. the probability of obtaining a value as extreme as the value of the statistic under the null hypothesis).

Symbolically:

P(Z ≥ 1) = 1 - P(Z < 1) = 1 - 0.84134 = 0.15866

You have to look at what is the probability of the calculated Z value, the direction of the p-value is always the same as the rejection region. In this case, is a one-tailed p-value (to the right)

Using the p-value approach, the decision rule is always the same:

If p-value ≤ α, then you reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, then you don't reject the null hypothesis.

Since the p-value 0.15866 > 0.01, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

As expected, using the two methods you reached the same decision. If not then you have to check your maths.

I hope it helped!
