Let Alex's height = a.

Let Ben'x height = b.


a + b = 130

b - a = b/3


Subtract b/3 from both sides int he second equation to obtain:

(2/3)b - a = 0


Add this new equation to the first original equation.


(5/3)b = 130


b = 130 * 3/5


b = 78


a + b = 130


a + 78 = 130


a = 130 - 78


a = 52


Answer: Alex's height is 52 inches, and Ben's height is 78 inches.

When figuring the pooled population variance estimate in a t test for independent means?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The appropriate response is a weighted average. It is a mean ascertained by giving qualities in an informational index more impact as indicated by some characteristic of the information. It is normal in which every amount to have arrived at the midpoint of is allocated a weight, and these weightings decide the relative significance of every amount on the normal.

Use the Law of Sines to find the measure of angle J to the nearest degree.
rjkz [21]
\bf \textit{Law of sines}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle A)}{a}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle B)}{b}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle C)}{c}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{sin(J)}{9.1}=\cfrac{sin(97^o)}{11}\implies sin(J)=\cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11}
\\\\\\
\textit{now taking }sin^{-1}\textit{ to both sides}
\\\\\\
sin^{-1}\left[ sin(J) \right]=sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11} \right)
\\\\\\
\measuredangle J=sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11} \right)

Find the surface area of the triangular prism
melomori [17]

Answer:

608 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1) Find the area of the bases</u>

A=\frac{1}{2} bh where b is the base length and h is the height

Plug in b and h

A=\frac{1}{2} (12)(8)\\A=48

Multiply the answer by 2 (because there are 2 bases)

A=96

Therefore, the area of the two bases is 96 ft².

<u>2) Find the area of the two sides facing up</u>

A=lw where l is the length and w is the width

Plug in l and w

A=10*16\\A=160

Multiply the answer by 2 (because there are 2 sides)

A=320

Therefore, the area of these two sides is 320 ft².

<u>3) Find the area of the bottom side</u>

A=lw where l is the length and w is the width

Plug in l and w

A=12*16\\A=192

Therefore, the area of this side is 192 ft².

<u>4) Add all the areas together</u>

96 ft² + 320 ft² + 192 ft²

= 608 ft²

Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism is 608 ft².

I hope this helps!
