Look at the picture of a scaffold used to support construction workers. The height of the scaffold can be changed by adjusting t

wo slanting rods, one of which, labeled PR, is shown:
A support structure is shown in which a right triangle PQR is formed with the right angle at Q. The length of PQ is shown as 14 feet, and the length of QR is shown as 9 feet..

Part A: What is the approximate length of rod PR? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Explain how you found your answer stating the theorem you used. Show all your work. (5 points)

Part B: The length of rod PR is adjusted to 18 feet. If width PQ remains the same, what is the approximate new height QR of the scaffold? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Show all your work. (5 points)

Answer:

Triangle PQR is a right triangle therefore you can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of PR which is the same as the hypothenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem:

(QP)² + (QR)² = (PR)²

(6)² + (14)² = 232 ⇒  (PR)² = 232  then PR = √232 = 15.23

If PR is adjusted to 16 feet then we use the Pythagorean theorem again to find the height QR

(QR)² + (14)² = (16)²

(QR)² = 256 - 196 = 60 ⇒ QR = √60 = 7.75.

Which expression represents the composition f(g(h(x))) for the functions below? f(x) = 2x + 1 g(x) = 4x2 h(x) = x2 4x4 8x4 + 1 8
Yuri [45]
H(x)=x²
g(h(x))=4(x²)²=4x^4
f(g(h(x)))=2(4x^4)+1=8x^4+1
B is the answer.

A class consists of 63 women and 86 men. If a student is randomly selected, what is the probability that the student is a woman?
solmaris [256]
First, we need to get the total number students by adding the number of men and women. 63 + 86 = 149. This is the total number of samples. To get the probability that a randomly selected is a woman, we can write the ratio as 63:149 or the probability is 63/149.

I am having trouble with mean absolute deviation and whisker box plots. I try looking at examples, but it keeps stressing me out
Arada [10]

Answer:

Mean absolute deviation is a statistical measure of dispersion. Whisker box-plot is a graphical method of quartile based divided data

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean Absolute Deviation is a statistical measure of dispersion or variability  in data. It denotes average level of deviation of observations from the central mean.

It is calculated using following formula : ( Σ | X - X' | ) ÷ N ; where X = individual observations, X' = mean, N = no. of observations

Whisker Box-plot is a graphical method of representing group of numerical data through their quartiles. This also consists line extensions from boxes, showing scatter beyond lower & upper quartile.
