Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you draw a line going west and label it as 4 miles, then draw another line going south and label it 3 miles, you form a right angle, right? So, the fastest way to go back would be taking a diagonal-like route back to the beginning. Does this shape look familiar to you? Right! It's a right triangle. And do the numbers 3, 4, and 5 sound familiar to you? Yup, it's a Pythagorean triplet. If the legs of a right triangle are 3 and 4, the hypotenuse is 5. Why am I saying this? Because, in the drawing you just did, the 4 miles west and 3 miles south were the legs, and the diagonal path back to the beginning is the hypotenuse. Get it now?

Happy to help! :)

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.
Zarrin [17]
Let the lengths of pregnancies be X
X follows normal distribution with mean 268 and standard deviation 15 days
z=(X-269)/15

a. P(X>308)
z=(308-269)/15=2.6
thus:
P(X>308)=P(z>2.6)
=1-0.995
=0.005

b] Given that if the length of pregnancy is in lowest is 44%, then the baby is premature. We need to find the length that separates the premature babies from those who are not premature.
P(X<x)=0.44
P(Z<z)=0.44
z=-0.15
thus the value of x will be found as follows:
-0.05=(x-269)/15
-0.05(15)=x-269
-0.75=x-269
x=-0.75+269
x=268.78
The length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature is 268.78 days

Select the postulate or theorem
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Answer: SAS Similarity theorem.

Explanation.

SAS stands for Side - Angle - Side.

SAS theorem states that if two triangles have corresponding angles that are congruent and corresponding sides with identical ratios, then the triangles are similar.

And that is what the figure shows:

1) The angle at M is the same for both triangles.

2) The ratios of the sides are: 2/3 and 4 /6. Given that 2/3 = 4/6 you have that the two corresponding sides have identical ratios.

Fill in the blank. <br><br><br> The absolute value of every nonzero integer is a(n) _____ integer.
Sedbober [7]

Answer: positive

The absolute value of every nonzero integer is a positive integer.

Examples are

|-2| = 2

|7| = 7

The absolute value represents distance which can never be negative. Negative distance does not make sense.
