Answer:

$X=25.98cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length of each side $l=30cm$

Let the triangle be divide by two form a right angle triangle with base angles as $90 \textdegree$ (angle of perpendicularity) and $60 \textdegree$ (angle on each vertices of an equilateral triangle)

Generally the equation for the Altitude X is mathematically given by

Trigonometric Rule

$X=30sin60$

$X=15\sqrt{3}$

$X=25.98cm$

Find the length of the segment with endpoints of (3,2) and (-3,-6).

MakcuM [25]

The formula of the length of the segment AB:
$A(x_A;\ y_A);\ B(x_B;\ y_B)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}$
We have:
$A(3;\ 2)\to x_A=3;\ y_A=2\\\\B(-3;\ -6)\to x_B=-3;\ y_B=-6$
Substitute:
$|AB|=\sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(-6-2)^2}=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-8)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{36+64}=\sqrt{100}=10$
Answer: B) 10.

timurjin [86]

To find the margin of error, multiply the z-score by the standard deviation, then divide by the square root of the sample size.The z*-score for a 90% confidence level is 1.645.The margin of error is 0.20.The confidence interval is 48.3 to 48.7.48.8 is not within the confidence interval.

Answer:

ok so what i think your trying to ask is if we roll two dice that the sum will be more then 6

Two dice

Assuming that the dice are unbiased or not " loaded".

Each side has the same probability, is 1/6 =0.16667, to turn up when rolled, if the die (D) is unbiased. The probability of a side turning up on D1 when 2 dice ( D1,D2) are rolled, is independent of the side turning up in D2. So this is an independent event.

How many ways can one get a sum total of 6 if D1 &D2 are rolled at the same time?

These are the possibilities

Case 1.

D1 =1 & D2=5

D1= 5 & D2=1

Case 2.

D1 =2 & D2=4

D1= 4 & D2= 2

Case 3. D1=3, D2=3

P3 =0.027778

Let's say, P 1 the probability for case 1 and P2 for case 2. There are no other cases.

The final probability P and is the sum total P = P1 + P2 + P3 the probability law of mutually exclusive events.

P1= 0.02778+ 0.02778 =0.055558

P2= 0.02778+0.02778 =0.055558

Same way,

P3=0.027778, when there is only one way to get the sum 6.

So, P = 0.138894

Based on truncating at the sixth decimal place.

A visual representation with two unbiased dice and the possible cases would also give the same result and is a short cut method. I like to derive from the basics.

Hope This Helps!!!
