Find the area of an equilateral triangle with side length 9.2 cm. Round your answer to 1 DP.

Mathematics
1 answer:
lbvjy [14]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Area=36.66 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need the height.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

hypotenuse^2=height^2+(1/2 base)^2  

It's one-half base because it's an equilateral triangle.

1/2 base =4.6

(9.2)^2-4.6^2=height^2

84.64-21.16=height^2

height^2=63.48

height=7.97

Area=(1/2)(base)(height)

Area=(1/2)(9.2)(7.97)=36.66 cm^2

Which of the following describes the transformation of the graph y= x2 in graphing y=-x2.5?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

reflect over the x-axis and shift down 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the transformed graph has equation.

y = -   {x}^{2}  - 5

and the parent function is

y =  {x}^{2}

Then the transformed function is obtained by reflecting the parent function in the x-axis and then shifting it down by 5 units.

The coy option is reflect over the x-axis and shift down 5 units.

The population of weights of a particular fruit is normally distributed, with a mean of 464 grams and a standard deviation of 6
igomit [66]

Answer:

If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than 466.37 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = \mu = 464

Standard deviation =\sigma = 6

We are supposed to find If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams i.e.P(X>x)=0.02

The mean weight is in the highest 2%, you want to go to a z-table and find the z-score that where the area to the left of the curve is closest to 0.98.

n = 27

Refer the z -table

P(Z>x)=2.06

\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}=2.06\\\frac{x-464}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{27}}}=2.06\\x-464=2.06 \times \frac{6}{\sqrt{27}}\\x=(2.06 \times \frac{6}{\sqrt{27}})+464\\x=466.37

So, If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than 466.37 grams

Please I need help with these 3 questions with explanation. See attached below.
amm1812

Answer:

  18. compound interest

  19. simple interest

  20. simple interest

Step-by-step explanation:

For these problems, the initial balance is irrelevant. All that matters is the multiplier of that balance. For simple interest at rate r for t years, the multiplier is ...

  simple interest multiplier = (1 +rt)

For interest compounded annually, the multiplier of the initial balance is ...

  compound interest multiplier = (1 +r)^t

A spreadsheet can do the computations for you.

___

As an example of the computations involved, consider problem 19:

  simple interest multiplier = 1 + 0.13·6 = 1.78

  compound interest multiplier = 1.10^6 = 1.771561

The latter is less than the former, so the simple interest account will have the (slightly) greater balance at the end of 6 years.

Suppose that you are to make a rectangular box with a square base from two different materials. The material for the top and fou
saw5 [17]

Answer:

height = 14.5 ft

width = length = 3.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the square base is a and the height of the box is h.

The material required to make the box is equal to the total surface area of the box.

Area of base = a²

Cost of square base is $ 2 per ft²

So, the cost of making base = 2a²

Area of four walls + area of top = 2 (a² + ah + ah) + a² =  3a² + 2ah

Cost of making walls and the top is $ 1 per ft²

So, the cost of making walls and the top = 1 x ( 3a² + 2ah)

Total cost of making the box = 2a² + 3a² + 2ah = 5a² + 2ah

According to the question

144 = 5a² + 2ah

h = \frac{144-5a^{2}}{2a}     .... (1)

The volume of the box is V = length x width x height

V = a x a x h

V = 72 a - 2.5 a³     from equation (1)

Differentiate both sides with respect to a.

dV/da = 72 - 7.5 a²

Put, it equal to zero for maxima and minima

7.5 a² = 72

a = 3.2 ft

Put in equation (1)

h = \frac{144-5\times 3.2\times 3.2}{2\times 3.2}

h = 14.5 ft

So, the dimensions of the box are

height = 14.5 ft

width = length = 3.2 ft
