To solve this question, we have to:

Understand the concept of an isosceles triangle.

Use this concept, along with the perimeter concept, to build the equation to find the length of the sides.

Doing this, we get that the length of the base is 10 cm and the length of the legs is 20 cm.

Isosceles triangle:

In an isosceles triangle, two sides have the same measure. An example is given by the picture at the end of this answer.

Perimeter:

The perimeter of a polygon, in this case a triangle, is the sum of all it's sides.

In this question:

Perimeter of 50 cm;

Two legs of l;

Base is half the leg, so l/2.

Then, the equation is:

Thus:

The length of the legs is of 20 cm.

The length of the base is of 20/2 = 10 cm

The length of all the sides of an isosceles triangle are needed.

The length of each leg is 20 cm and the base is 10 cm.

Let length of the legs be a

The length of the base b is half of one of the legs.

b=\dfrac{1}{2}a

Perimeter of triangle is 50 cm.

Perimeter of an isosceles triangle is given by

P=2a+b\\\Rightarrow P=2a+\dfrac{1}{2}a\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{5}{2}a\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{2}{5}P\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{2}{5}\times 50\\\Rightarrow a=20

Base

b=\dfrac{1}{2}a=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 20\\\Rightarrow b=10

The length of each leg is 20 cm and the base is 10 cm.

A manufacturer produces a commodity where the length of the commodity has approximately normal distribution with a mean of 6.5 i
zavuch27 [327]

The probablity that the sample's mean length is greate than 6.3 inches is0.8446.

Given mean of 6.5 inches,standard deviation of 0.5 inches and sample size of 46.

We have to calculate the probability that the sample's mean length is greater than 6.3 inches is 0.8446.

Probability is the likeliness of happening an event. It lies between 0 and 1.

Probability is the number of items divided by the total number of items.

We have to use z statistic in this question because the sample size is greater than 30.

μ=6.5

σ=0.5

n=46

z=X-μ/σ

where μ is mean and

σ is standard deviation.

First we have to find the p value from 6.3 to 6.5 and then we have to add 0.5 to it to find the required probability.

z=6.3-6.5/0.5

=-0.2/0.5

=-0.4

p value from z table is 0.3446

Probability that the mean length is greater than 6.3inches is 0.3446+0.5=0.8446.

Hence the probability that the mean length is greater than 6.3 inches is 0.8446.
