Answer:

  6.83 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the original pyramid be represented by h. Then the cut off top has a height of (h -2). The scale factor for the area is the square of the scale factor for height, so we have ...

  (height ratio)^2 = 1/2

  ((h -2)/h)^2 = 1/2

  (h -2)√2 = h . . . . . . square root; multiply by h√2

  h(√2 -1) = 2√2 . . . . add 2√2 -h

  h = (2√2)/(√2 -1) ≈ 6.8284 . . . units

The altitude of the original pyramid is about 6.83 units.

The answer is d. Look at the equation , there isn’t a line under the > sign, so you don’t need to pick the graph with a colored circle, and then there are 3 left that are not colored. Those are b,c and d. Now, the > sign does to the right ( the pointy part) so your line had to go to the right. Only d is like that. Hope this helps and can you make me brainliest?

(2x+5y-z)+(-6x-4y+7z)
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

-4x + y + 6z

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y - z + (-6x - 4y + 7z) < distribute positive 1 to (-6x - 4y + 7z)

2x + 5y - z - 6x - 4y + 7z < combine like terms to get the answer

2x - 6x = -4x

5y - 4y = y

-z + 7z = 6z

our new expression is:

-4x + y + 6z we cannot simplify this any further, so this is our answer

Answer:

H0:p1=p2; Ha:p1≠p2, which is a two-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our hypotheses as

H0:p1=p2; Ha:p1≠p2, which is a two-tailed test.

Supposing the probability or proportion of the first survey is equal to the probability or proportion of the second survey. This will be the null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses would be that these two proportions or probabilities are unequal.

This is a two tailed test.
