Answer:

  20.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "hypotenuse" suggests this triangle is a right triangle. Then the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  x^2 +12^2 = 24^2

  x^2 = 576 -144 = 432

  x = √432 ≈ 20.8 . . . cm

The other leg is about 20.8 cm.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A right triangle with a short leg that is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse is the "special" 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The longer leg is √3 times the length of the short leg: 12√3 ≈ 20.8 cm.

The diameter of a circle is 4 centimeters. What is the length of a 45° arc?​
madam [21]

Answer: The length of the arc is 1.57 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation: If the diameter has been given as 4 centimeters, then the radius would be diameter divided by 2, and that equals 2.

With the radius now known as 2, we can calculate the length of the arc as follows;

Length of an arc = (Ω/360) x 2πr

Where Ω is the angle subtended by the radio and r is the radius.

Length of an arc = (45/360) x 2 x 3.14 x 2

Length of an arc = (1/8) x 12.56

Length of an arc = 1.57

Therefore, the length of the arc is 1.57 centimeters

A study was performed with a random sample of 3000 people from one church. What population would be appropriate for generalizing
Reil [10]

The population would be set of all Christians of that particular church from where the random samples is collected.

According to the questions,

A study was performed with a random sample 3000 people from one church. In order to find appropriate population for generalizing conclusions

The population would be set of all Christians of that particular church from where the random samples is collected.

  • This is because random samples is collected only from the particular church, so its generalization can only be the possible to large population of that church.
  • we can generalize to whole of that church because it is given that there was no bias is introduced.

Hence, the population would be set of all Christians of that particular church from where the random samples is collected.
