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.

A tattoo enthusiast website claims that :
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have here a case where we need to use Bayes' Theorem and all conditional probabilities related. Roughly speaking, a conditional probability is a kind of probability where an event determines the occurrence of another event. Mathematically:

\\ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

In the case of the Bayes' Theorem, we have also a conditional probability where one event is the sum of different probabilities.

We have a series of different probabilities that we have to distinguish one from the others:

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is a Millennial is:

\\ P(T|M) = 0.47

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Generation X is:

\\ P(T|X) = 0.36

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Boomers is:

\\ P(T|B) = 0.13

The probability of being of Millennials is:

\\ P(M) = 0.22

The probability of being of Generation X is:

\\ P(X) = 0.20

The probability of being of Boomers is:

\\ P(B) = 0.22

Therefore, the probability of the event of having a tattoo P(T) is:

\\ P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M) + P(T|X)*P(X) + P(T|B)*P(B)

\\ P(T) = 0.47*0.22 + 0.36*0.20 + 0.13*0.22

\\ P(T) = 0.204

For non-independent events that happen at the same time, we can say that the probability of occurring simultaneously is:

\\ P(M \cap T) = P(M|T)*P(T)

Or

\\ P(T \cap M) = P(T|M)*P(M)

But

\\ P(M \cap T) = P(T \cap M)

Then

\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)

We are asked for the probability that a person is a Millennial given or assuming that they have tattoos or P(M | T). Solving the previous formula for the latter:

\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)

\\ P(M|T) = \frac{P(T|M)*P(M)}{P(T)}

We have already know that

\\ P(T|M) = 0.47\;P(M) = 0.22\;and\;P(T) = 0.204.

Therefore

\\ P(M|T) = \frac{0.47*0.22}{0.204}

\\ P(M|T) = 0.50686 \approx 0.51

Thus, the probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).

Urgent Math Help Needed ASAP
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Fourth option: 30 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We three path to complete the project:

Path A:

A1 → A2 → A3

10 days → 8 days → 9 days = 27 days


Path B:

B1 → B2 → B3

2 days → 7 days → 3 days = 12 days


Path C:

C1 → C2 → C3

10 days → 8 days → 12 days = 30 days


Then the duration of the critical path is 30 days, we can't conclude the project until each path has finished
