If the length of the long wall is 12 feet and the length of the diagonal wall is 13 feet, how long is the shorter wall?

Answer:

The shorter wall is 5 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by visualizing the the long wall, short wall, and diagonal wall as a right triangle.

After doing so, the problem can be solved by utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the sides must be equivalent to a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a b and c being the actual lengths of the sides of the triangle.

To begin, you would create the equation a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2 (c always indicates the hypotenuse, but a and b are interchangeable for the remaining sides).

Then, you would find the square of 12 and 13, which would be 144 and 169, respectively. Thus, a^2 + 144 = 169.

Next, you would get a^2 by itself on the left side in order to solve for it by subtracting 144 from both sides, which grants the equation a^2 = 25.

Finally, after finding the square root of both sides, you get the final answer of a = 5. Thus, the shorter wall is 5 feet long.

If the correlation between height and weight of a large group of people is 0.75​, find the coefficient of determination​ (as a​
Shtirlitz [24]
Independent variable is the predictor variable which is the height and dependent variable is the response variable which is weight in this scenario.

The square of correlation coefficient gives the coefficient of determination. It is denoted by R² (R squared).

We are given:
R = 0.75

So,
R²  = 0.75²

R² = 0.5625

R²  = 56.25 %
The coefficient of determination tells how much of the trend of dependent data can be explained by the independent data using the linear regression model. So in the given case, Height can explain 56.25% of the trend in the weight.

Use the points (0, 4) and (-2, 3) to find the slope of the line and give the equation of this line.​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Choice C:   m=\frac{1}{2}; y=\frac{1}{2} x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find your slope do:

\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}

\frac{3-4}{-2-0}=\frac{-1}{-2} =\frac{1}{2}

that's how you get 1/2

4 is just the y-int.

Answer by JKismyhusbandbae: expression 2 and expression 1

Look at the four expressions. Simplify any expressions that can be simplified to see which two are equivalent.

8v × 30v = ( 8 × 30) × ( v × v) = 240v^2

Since expression 2 can be simplified to expression 1, they are equivalent.

Hence find the value of x that satisfies the two equations y =
sammy [17]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

since y=5x/2-7, and y=4x/3

         so 5x/2-7=4x/3

              5x/2-4x/3= 7

              15x-8x/6=7

               7x/6=7

               x= 7*6/7= 6
