Answer:

The correct answer is option B. 17

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, ZX bisects ∠WZY. If the measure of ∠YXZ is (6m – 12)°

To find the value of m

From the figure we can see that, triangle WYZ is an isosceles triangle.

ZW = ZY

Then <YXZ = <WXZ = 90°

It is given ∠YXZ = (6m – 12)°

(6m – 12)° = 90°

6m = 90 + 12 = 102

m = 102/6 = 17

Therefore the value of m = 17

The correct answer is option B. 17

If the length of the legs of a right triangle are 5 m and 7 m, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

$c = 8.60232526704263$

$c \approx8.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

$c = \sqrt{ {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} }$

$c = \sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {7}^{2} }$

$c = \sqrt{25 + 49}$

$c = \sqrt{74}$

$c = 8.60232526704263$

$c \approx8.6$

In triangle ABC angle A=45 angle B =40 and a=7.Which equation should you solve to find b?

coldgirl [10]

We have been given that in triangle ABC angle A=45 angle B =40 and a=7. We are asked to find the equation that we can use to solve for 'f'.

We have two angles and opposite sides to these angles.

We will use Law of Sines to solve our given problem.

$\frac{a}{\sin(A)}=\frac{b}{\sin(B)}=\frac{c}{\sin(C)}$ , where a, b and c are opposite sides corresponding to angles A, B, and C respectively.

The angle opposite to side b is 40 degrees and angle opposite to side a is 45 degrees.

Upon substituting these values in Law of Sines, we will get:

$\frac{7}{\sin(45^{\circ})}=\frac{b}{\sin(40^{\circ})}$

Therefore, our required equation would be $\frac{7}{\sin(45^{\circ})}=\frac{b}{\sin(40^{\circ})}$ .

Josh simplified 4x - 8x ÷ 2 and said the answer was -2x. What was josh's error? What should his answer have been?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x - 8x ÷ 2

Under the rules of PEMDAS , division must be performed before subtraction.

Hence

4x - 8x ÷ 2 = 4x - 4x ← dividing - 8x by 2, then

4x - 4x = 0 ← correct answer

a university is comparing the grade point averages of biology majors with grade point averages of engineering majors. the univer

Ronch [10]

Answer:

H0 : μEng = μBio

H1: μEng ≠ μBio

Step-by-step explanation:

μEng = Engineering average gpa

μBio = Biology average gpa

To test for difference between two sample means , in this case grade point average of biology majors and Engineering major.

Null hypothesis is the initial truth, which is that ; there is no difference in the mean grade point average of both biology and engineering majors

H0 : μEng = μBio

The Alternative hypothesis is the opposite of the null, which is stated has ; there is difference between the average GPA of both Engineering and Biology majors

H1: μEng ≠ μBio

How do you create your equations when working on a mixture word problem?

Let's try to think about the general form of a word problem involving mixtures.

In general, we have the following scenario:

a merchant sells two kinds of products (coffee, sweets, etc).

we know the unit prices for both kinds of products and for the final mixture

US dollars per pound for the first kind of product,

US dollars per pound for the second kind of product

US dollars per pound for the mixture

we know the total quantity formed by the mixture of the two products (

pounds)

we have to find out the quantities of each product needed to form the mixture

(here we have the variables:

denoting the quantity of the first kind of product and

denoting the quantity of the second kind of product)

Now, we have sufficient information to work out the equations.

First, we know that the sum of the two quantities is

pounds, which gives us the first equation:

Second, we know that the sale price is the product of quantity and unit price, which gives us the second equation:

⋅

Now, we have a system of two linear equations that can be easily solved by substitution.
