Effectus [21]3 years ago

Answer:  C. Definition of an Altitude

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude from the right angle.

Let ∠MNP=x

Then ∠PNO=90°-x

Therefore in triangle MNO,

∠MPN=∠NPO =90°  [by definition of Altitude]

[Definition of altitude : A line which passes through a vertex of a triangle, and joins the opposite side forming right angles. ]

Now using angle sum property in ΔMNP

∠MNP+∠MPN+∠PMN=180°

⇒x+90°+∠PMN=180°

⇒∠PMN=180°-90°-x

⇒∠PMN=90°-x

Now, in ΔMNO and ΔPNO

∠PMN=∠PNO=90°-x

and ∠MPN=∠NPO =90°  [by definition of altitude]

Therefore by AA similarity postulate, we have

ΔMNO ≈ ΔPNO

In the last election, 72% of the voters
mezya [45]

Answer:

<u>Option A) 19 to 25</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In the last election, 72% of the voters were in favor of a new outlet mall and

28% were against it.

Vanessa creates random samples of the voters using the numbers 1 to 25.

So, There are 25 numbers to represent all the voters

The range of number that could be used to represent the voters who were against the new outlet mall = 28% of 25 numbers = 0.28 * 25 = 7

So, <u>7 numbers only</u>  could be used to represent the voters who were against the new outlet mall.

Check the options to find which range has only 7 numbers.

A) 19 to 25 ⇒ 7 numbers  

B) 7 to 18    ⇒ 12 numbers

C) 15 to 25 ⇒ 11 numbers

D) 1 to 18    ⇒ 18 numbers

The answer is <u>option A) 19 to 25</u>

On the average, a certain light bulb is supposed to last 450 hours. If it
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

72 novels

Step-by-step explanation:

A number of assumptions are involved regarding operating environment, utilization fraction, and probability of failure as a function of time. The precise meanings of the words "average", "supposed to last", "maximum", and "expect" are involved. The details are too arcane to go into here.

 (450 hours)/(6 1/4 hours/novel)

 = (450/(25/4)) novels

 = (450*4/25) novels

 = 72 novels

A soccer team estimates that they will score on 77​% of the corner kicks. In next​ week's game, the team hopes to kick 1414 corn
andrezito [222]

Answer:

18.66521%

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems all of the numbers are duplicated, the correct number should be 7%, 14 corner kicks, and 2 opportunities.  

The team has 7%(x=0.07) chance to score so that means the chance to not scoring will be: y= 1-x = 100%-7%= 93%. There are 14 opportunities and we want to know the probability to get exactly 2 scores. The calculation will be:

P(x=2)= 2C14 * x^2 * y^12

P(x=2)=91 * 0.07^2 * 0.93^12= 18.66521%
