Answer:

  • x ≈ 6.3
  • y ≈ 7.7
  • z ≈ 4.9

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometry, there are three "geometric mean" relations that apply. They can be summarized by the rule ...

  <em>a segment touching the hypotenuse is equal to the geometric mean of the segments of the hypotenuse it touches</em>.

For x and y, the two segments will be the short one (4 or 6, respectively) and the entire hypotenuse (4+6=10).

Using this rule, we have ...

  x = √(4·10) ≈ 6.3

  y = √(6·10) ≈ 7.7

  z = √(4·6) ≈ 4.9

__

The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

These relations come about because all of the right triangles in this figure are similar. That means corresponding sides are proportional.

  x/10 = 4/x   ⇒   x² = 40

  y/10 = 6/y   ⇒   y² = 60

  z/6 = 4/z   ⇒   z² = 24

The equation for velocity is v = distance time . Evaluate the velocity of an object that travels 15 meters in 2.5 seconds.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

What is acceleration?

Imagine you are playing golf, and you’ve just set up the golf ball on the tee. You test your grip, take a few practice swings, and peer into the distance at the flag pole marking the first hole for the course. Your wise golf ball guru (who happens to also teach physics) tells you to “Be the ball, young grasshopper.” So you close your eyes and picture the distance the ball must travel. “Yes, young earthworm”, your sensei says, “that distance you see is the displacement you must achieve, displacement is the change in position from one place to another.”

3. The amount of hot chocolate dispensed by a hot chocolate machine is normally distributed with a mean of 16.0 oz and a standar
sveticcg [70]

Answer: the probability that a selected cup will be overfilled is 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since amount of hot chocolate dispensed by a hot chocolate machine is normally distributed,

we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = amount of hot chocolate dispensed by a hot chocolate machine.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 16.0 oz

σ = 2 oz

We want to find the probability that a selected cup will be overfilled. Since the cup can hold 18.0 oz, the expression would be

P(x > 18) = 1 - P(x ≤ 18)

For x = 18,

z = (18 - 16)/2 = 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.84

P(x > 18) = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

The volume of a pyramid that fits exactly inside a cube is 49 cubic feet. what is the volume of the cube?
8090 [49]
The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 the volume of the cube mentioned in the question since it fits exactly inside it. So multiply 49*3 = 147 cubic feet
