In triangle abc angle a +angle b =90 then sin a =

Ivan

Answer:

$sin(a)=cos(b)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the triangle abc

if $m\angle a+m\angle b=90^o$

then

$m\angle c=90^o$

Because, the sum of the interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

therefore

Triangle abc is a right triangle

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The sine of angle a is equal to divide the opposite side to angle a by the hypotenuse

so

$sin(a)=\frac{x}{z}$

The cosine of angle b is equal to divide the adjacent side to angle b by the hypotenuse

so

$cos(b)=\frac{x}{z}$

therefore

$sin(a)=cos(b)$

When two angles are complementary, the sine of one angle is equal to the cosine of the other angle and the cosine of one angle is equal to the sine of the other angle

so

$sin(a)=cos(b)$

$cos(a)=sin(b)$

A recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with a mean equal to 12.56 hours with a standard deviation of 6.7 hours.

<em>Let X = length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials</em>

So, X ~ N( $\mu = 12.56, \sigma^{2} = 6.7^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean time = 12.56 hours

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 6.7 hours

So, Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is given by = P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = P(X < 15) - P(X $\leq$ 12)

P(X < 15) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{15-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058

P(X $\leq$ 12) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{12-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.08) = 1 - P(Z < 0.08)

= 1 - 0.53188 = 0.46812

<em>Therefore, P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = 0.64058 - 0.46812 = 0.1725</em>

Hence, probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

Write a linear function of f with f(-3)=-2 and f(-2)=3

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

y=5x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

when x=-3, y=-2, and when x=-2, y=3. we know that every time x increases by 1, y also increases by 5. This means that the slope is 5. to find the y-intercept, we need x to be 0. to find that, increase x by 2. if x increases by 2, then y would also increase by 10. add 10 to 3 and add 2 to -2 to get x=0 and y=13. the coordinates would be (0,13). the y-intercept is 13. now that we have enough information, we can conclude that y=5x+13. To check your answer, plug in the values for x.
