X=side length
6x^2 = surface area = 150
x^2 = 150/6=25
x=sqrt(25)=5
To solve this problem, we make use of the z statistic.
What we have to do here is to find for the z score using the given data and
from the standard probability tables for z, we locate the proportion of the
fish longer than 12 inches.
The formula for calculating the z score is:
z = (x – μ) / σ
where,
x = the sample value = 12 inches
μ = the sample mean = 11 inches
σ = 2 inches
so,
z = (12 – 11) / 2
z = 1 / 2
z = 0.5
Since we are looking for the values greater than 12, so
this is a right tailed test. Using the tables, the value of p at this value of
z is:
p (z = 0.5) = 0.3085
Therefore there is a 30.85% probability that the fish is
longer than 12 inches.
4.5/3= 1.5
It is 1.5 times bigger than the smaller triangle.
So,
5*1.5= 7.5
x= 7.5
I hope this helps!

Let x = # of 25-cent stamps
y = # of 2-cent stamps
{ x+ y = 88
{ 0.25x + 0.02y = 15.56
60 25-cent stamps 28 2-cent stamps
Step-by-step explanation:
-36.8 + 9.2(2). [as the value of x is 2]
-36.8 + 18.4
= - 18.4 [as the number with the
Negative sign is greater]
