The length of the line segment BC is 31.2 units.

<h2>Given that</h2>

Triangle ABC is shown.

Angle ABC is a right angle.

An altitude is drawn from point B to point D on side AC to form a right angle.

The length of AD is 5 and the length of BD is 12.

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

What is the length of Line segment BC?

<h3>According to the question</h3>

The altitude of the triangle is given by;

\rm Altitude = \sqrt{xy}

Where x is DC and y is 5 units.

Then,

The length DC is.

\rm Altitude = \sqrt{xy}\\&#10;\\&#10;12 = \sqrt{(DC) \times 5}\\&#10;\\&#10;\sqrt{DC } = \dfrac{12}{\sqrt{5}}\\&#10;\\&#10;

Squaring on both sides

\rm DC = \dfrac{144}{5}\\&#10;\\&#10;DC = 28.8

Considering right triangle BDC, use the Pythagorean theorem to find BC:

\rm BC^2 = DC^2+BD^2\\\\  BC^2 = (28.8)^2+(12)^2\\&#10;&#10;\\&#10;BC = \sqrt{829.44+144}\\&#10;\\&#10;BC = \sqrt{973.44}\\&#10;\\&#10;\rm BC = 31.2 \ units

Hence, the length of the line segment BC is 31.2 units.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean peak power after training is [299.4, 330.6]

299.4\leq\mu\leq 330.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean.

A sample of n=7 males is taken. We know the sample mean = 315 watts and the sample standard deviation = 16 watts.

For a 99% confidence interval, the value of z is z=2.58.

We can calculate the confidence interval as:

M-z\sigma/\sqrt{n}\leq\mu\leq M+z\sigma/\sqrt{n}\\\\315-2.58*16/\sqrt{7}\leq\mu\leq 315+2.58*16/\sqrt{7}\\\\315-15.6\leq \mu\leq 315+15.6\\\\299.4\leq\mu\leq 330.6

The 99% confidence interval for the mean peak power after training is [299.4, 330.6]
