Answer:

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right-angled triangle where

The height of tower id perpendicular, the distance between slash pool and base of tower is base and the length of slide will be hypotenuse.

Height of tower = h = 16 meters

Distance between slash pool and base of tower = b = 9 meters

Length of slide = s = ?

As it is a right angled triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of slide

Pythagoras theorem states that:

(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2\\s^2 = b^2+h^2\\s^2 = (9)^2+(16)^2\\s^2 = 81+256\\s^2 = 337\\s^2 = 18.36\ meters

Hence,

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

What is the relationship between the variance and standard deviation? variance is the positive square root of the standard devia
lana [24]

Variance of a continuous random variable X is defined as

\int\limits_D {(x-\mu)^2f(x)} \, dx

Standard deviation is defined as

\sigma =  \sqrt{Var(X)}

Hence standard deviation is the positive square root of variance.
