Answer:

<u>Length of the shadow</u> = 20.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 32-meter height of a tall building, and its casted shadow of 38 meters, we can find the unknown length of the shadow by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

<h2>Definition:</h2>

The <u>Pythagorean Theorem</u> states that the squared length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squared lengths of the legs.

The algebraic representation of the Pythagorean Theorem is:  

                     c² (hypotenuse) = a² (leg₁) + b² (leg₂)

<h2>Solution</h2>

To solve for the given problem:

Let c = 38 m (distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow)

a = unknown length of the shadow

b = 32m (height of the building)

Since we have to solve for the value of <em>a </em>(unknown length of the shadow), we must algebraically solve for <em>a</em>:

c² = a² + b²

Subtract b² from both sides:

c² - b² = a²  + b² - b²

a² = c² - b²

Substitute the given values into the formula for solving <em>a </em>:

a² = c² - b²

a² = (38)² - (32)²

a² = 1444 - 1024

a² = 1444 - 1024

Next, take the square root of both sides to solve for a:

\displaystyle\mathsf{\sqrt{(a)^2}\:=\:\sqrt{420}}

a = 20.49 or 20.5 cm

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 20.5 cm.

Answer:

573-1.690\frac{22}{\sqrt{36}}=566.8033    

573+1.690\frac{22}{\sqrt{36}}=579.1967      

And the 90% confidence interval would be between [566.80 and 579.20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=573 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=22 represent the sample standard deviation

n=36 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=36-1=35

The Confidence level is 0.90 or 90%, the significance would be \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and the critical value for this case would be t_{\alpha/2}=1.690

And replacing we got:

573-1.690\frac{22}{\sqrt{36}}=566.8033    

573+1.690\frac{22}{\sqrt{36}}=579.1967    

And the 90% confidence interval would be between [566.8033 and 579.1967]

Tristen is building 3 trophies using Legos. He needs 324 total Legos. Tristen uses 220 Legos for the largest trophy and 135 Lego
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: 166

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of trophies = 3

Total Legos required for all trophies = 324

Number of Legos for largest trophy(A) = 220

Number of Legos for smallest trophy(B) = 135

Number of Legos required for final trophy(C)

=?

Total Legos = [Number of Legos for largest trophy(A) + Number of Legos for smallest trophy(B) + Number of Legos required for final trophy(C)]

324 = 220 +135 + C

324 = 355 + C

324 - 355 = C

-31 = C

135 + 31 = 166
