Answer:

  (c) 14.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(65°) = BC/BA

  BC = BA·sin(65°) ≈ (16 cm)·0.9063 ≈ 14.501 cm

  BC ≈ 14.5 cm

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

As is often the case, a simple estimate is all that is needed to identify the correct answer choice.

You only need to know how the long side of a right triangle compares to the others. In an isosceles right triangle, both legs are √2/2 ≈ 0.71 times the hypotenuse. The long side of a right triangle will never be shorter than that. This means the long side must be greater than about 11.2, and cannot be greater than 16. There is only one answer choice in that range.

Answer:

P(X=2)=0.04129

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a binomial probability problem whose function is expressed as;

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p){n-x}

-Given that p=0.6, n=8 , the probability that among the students in the sample exactly two are female is calculated as:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X=2)={8\choose2}0.6^2(1-0.6)^6\\\\=0.04129

Hence, the probability of exactly two females is 0.04129

. Show ALL work for the following problem... if you write the answer only, you will not get brainlist: 2(x - 2) = 4x - 6(x - 2)
Rom4ik [11]

Distribute 2 to x and -2, and -6 to x and -2

2(x - 2) = 2x - 4

-6(x - 2) = -6x + 12

2x - 4 = 4x - 6x + 12

Simplify. Combine like terms

2x - 4  = (4x - 6x) + 12

2x - 4 = -2x + 12

Isolate the x. Add 4 to both sides, and 2x to both sides

2x (+2x) - 4 (+4) = -2x (+2x) + 12 (+4)

2x + 2x = 12 + 4

Simplify

4x = 16

Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 16/4

x = 4

4 is your answer for x.

hope this helps
