The two shorter sides of a right triangle have lengths of 9.88 meters and 2.69 meters. What is the area of the triangle?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

13.29 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The two shorter sides of a right triangle have lengths of 9.88 meters and 2.69 meters

Two shorter sides are the base and the height of the right angle triangle

Area of the triangle is 1/2 times base times height

area= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 9.88 \cdot 2.69

Area of the triangle is 13.2886

13.29 square meters

If Y has a geometric distribution with probability of success p, show that the moment-generating function for Y is
butalik [34]

Answer:

  M₀ (t)  = p / e^-t -q = p (e^-t -q) ^ -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable Y have a geometric distribution g (y;p) = pq y-¹

The m.g.f of the geometric distribution is derived as below

By definition , M₀ (t) = E (e^ ty) = ∑ (e^ ty )( q ^ y-1)p    ( for ∑ , y varies 1 to infinity)

                   = pe^t ∑(e^tq)^y-1

                    = pe^t/1- qe^t,     where qe^t <1

In order to differentiate the m.g.f we write it as

           M₀ (t)  = p / e^-t -q = p (e^-t -q) ^ -1

 M₀` (t)  = pe^-t (e^-t -q) ^ -2  and

 M₀^n(t)  = 2pe^-2t (e^-t -q) ^ -3   - pe^-t (e^-t -q) ^ -2  

Hence

E (y) = p (1-q)-² = 1/p

E (y²) =2 p (1-q)-³ - p (1-q)-²

        = 2/p² - 1/p  and

σ² = [E (y²) -E (y)]²

     = 2/p² - 1/p - (1/p)²

      = q/p²

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 26 centimeters. Find the altitude of the triangle
ioda

We have P = 3 x a (the formula of the perimeter); 26 = 3 x a ; we obtain a = 26/3;

Then, we have  <span>the Pythagorean Theorem in one of two rectangular and congruent triangles :</span>

h² = a² - (a/2)² = a² - a²/4 = 4a²/4 - a²/4 =<span> 3a²/4</span>

It follows that

h = √(3a²/4) = a√3/2 ≈ 0,866*a ≈ 7,5 centimeter.

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 4.5 ft and a base with a diameter of 19 ft. Round your answer to t
Lunna [17]

if it's diameter is 19, then its radius must be half that, or 9.5.

\textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V=\pi r^2 h~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=9.5\\ h=4.5 \end{cases}\implies V=\pi (9.5)^2(4.5)\implies V\approx 1275.9~ft^3
