B 15 C А. Find the length of "a"using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sav [38]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>a</em> = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Trigonometry</u>

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify</u>

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length <em>a</em>.

<u>Step 2: Define</u>

hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 15

leg <em>b</em> = 9

leg <em>a</em> = ?

<u>Step 3: Find missing length </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables:                    a² + 9² = 15²
  2. Isolate <em>a</em> term:                                  a² = 15² - 9²
  3. Exponents:                                       a² = 225 - 81
  4. Subtract:                                           a² = 144
  5. Isolate <em>a</em>:                                           a = ±12

Since we are not dealing with a quadrant triangle, we can disregard the negative root of the quadratic.

∴ <em>a</em> = 12 is our final answer.

Suppose that the current measurements in a strip of wire are assumed to follow a normal distribution with a mean of 10 millimete
KiRa [710]

Answer: the probability that a measurement exceeds 13 milliamperes is 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the current measurements in a strip of wire are assumed to follow a normal distribution, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = current measurements in a strip.

µ = mean current

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 10

σ = 2

We want to find the probability that a measurement exceeds 13 milliamperes. It is expressed as

P(x > 13) = 1 - P(x ≤ 13)

For x = 13,

z = (13 - 10)/2 = 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.933

P(x > 13) = 1 - 0.933 = 0.067
