Answer:
x = 2√2
y = 2√6
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the ratio of the two legs of the two smaller interior right triangles. (refer to attached diagrams for the triangles - I have outlined one in blue and the other in red)
These will be equal since the triangles are similar
shorter leg : longer leg
(blue triangle = red triangle)
⇒ x : 4 = 2 : x
⇒ x/4 = 2/x
⇒ x² = 8
⇒ x = √8
⇒ x = 2√2
Now we have x, we have the two legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse labelled y.
Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse)
⇒ 4² + (2√2)² = y²
⇒ y² = 24
⇒ y = √24
⇒ y = 2√6
He would need exactly 20 more dimes.
42 x 18 = 756
776 divided by 756 = 20
If the pattern continues, so that each term is separated by a distance of 3, then the sequence is given by the recursive rule

From this definition, we can write

Answer:
There is 16.2% probability that a randomly selected individual will be between 185 and 190 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Z score
The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:
z = (x - μ) / σ
where μ is the mean, x = raw score and σ is the standard deviation.
Given μ = 180, σ = 8.
For x = 185:
z = (185 - 180)/8 = 0.625
For x = 190:
z = (190 - 180)/8 = 1.25
P(185 < x < 190) = P(0.625 < z < 1.25) = P(z < 1.25) - P(z < 0.625) = 0.8944 - 0.7324 = 16.2%
There is 16.2% probability that a randomly selected individual will be between 185 and 190 pounds
