Hi there!

We can use right-triangle trigonometry to solve.

We are given the HYPOTENUSE and ADJACENT sides, so we must use cosine in this instance.

cosθ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

We can plug in what is given:

cos(28) = A/17

Solve for 'A':

17cos(28) = <u>15.01 ft</u>

Graph the solution to this inequality on the number line.

Answer: x>8
Subtract 8 from both sides -6x< -48 (40 is a negative so -8 will just add to it)
Divide -48 and -6
X< 8 (since they’re both negative it’ll turn into a positive because we divided)
Turn the <

Step-by-step explanation:

There are seven variables in the data file for four persons interviewed. Person type, marital status, ethnic group and gender are categorical variables while age, number of pets and GPA are quantitative variables. Person type is classified as A,B,C and D. Marital status consists of category married and single. Age of persons lies between 20-50. Ethic group has three categories that are white, Asian and Hispanic. Gender of persons has two categories male and female. Number of pets for the persons interviewed lies in the range of 2 to 5. Last GPA variable ranges from 2.2 to 3.8.

50 points! Tell whether the orthocenter is inside, on, or outside the triangle. Then find the coordinates of the orthocenter.
Nady [450]

Answer:

  • (1,3) is inside the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.

We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.

<h3>Side QR</h3>
  • m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

  • -1/m = 5/2

<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>

  • y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2
<h3>Side RS</h3>
  • m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

  • -1/m = -1/1 = -1

<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>

  • y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4

The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.

<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>

  • 5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
  • 5x + 1 = -2x + 8
  • 7x = 7
  • x = 1

<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>

  • y = -1 + 4 = 3

The orthocenter is (1, 3)

If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle

In a test gender selection technique results consisted of 250 baby girls and 234 boys. Based on this result what is the probabil
Assoli18 [71]

Answer: 125/242

Step-by-step explanation: Probability is favorable outcomes over all outcome, since there were 250+234 total outcome, and 250 were favorable (girls), then the probability is 250/250+234=250/484=125/242
