Point M is the midpoint of CD. What is the value of a in the figure?

Mathematics

liq [111]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (a, b) and (c,d), the midpoint of the points will be at

((a+c)/2, ((b+d)/2)

Therefore, given (9, 2) and (a,2a), our midpoint is at

((9+a)/2, (2+2a)/2) = (6,4)

Matching the x values to their corresponding x values and doing the same with the y values, we get

(9+a)/2 = 6

(2+2a)/2 = 4

First, we have

(9+a)/2 = 6

multiply both sides by 2 to remove the denominator

9+a = 12

subtract 9 from both sides to isolate a

a = 3

2a = 2 * a = 6

Confirming this, we have

(2+2a)/2 = 4

(2+6)/2 = 4

8/2=4

Find the volumen of the semisphere and subtract the volumes of the two cylinders

1) Volume of the semisphere:

[1/2] (4/3)π(r^3) =[ 2π(1.5m)^3 ]/3 = 7.0686 m^3

2) Volumen of the cylinders:π(r^2)h

a) π(0.75/2m)^2 (1.75m) = 0.7731 m^3

b) π(1/2m)^2 (1.25m) = 0.9818 m^3

3) 7.0686 m^3 - 0.7731 m^3 - 0.9818m^3 = 5.3137 m^3

Answer: 5.3 m^3

ANSWER

1 bell shape

2 to find probability when sampling

EXPLANATION

1 In a normal distribution, the mode,mean and median are equal.

As a result, the distribution is neither skewed to the right or left.

The shape of the normal distribution looks like a bell.

That is why it is also called the bell curve.

2. The area under the normal curve is 1.

The line of symmetry of the bell shaped distribution divides it into two halves with area 0.5 each.

The normal curve is therefore used to find the probabilities of a sample distributions.
