Answer: z = $\sqrt{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find z, you must set up a proportion to solve.

To find the altitude of a special right triangle, the formula is:

$\frac{a}{x} =\frac{x}{b}$

You can use 5 as a and 2 as b to complete the proportion:

$\frac{5}{z} =\frac{z}{2}$

Next, to solve:

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

$\frac{5}{z} =\frac{z}{2}$

(5)*(2) = z*z

10 = z²

Step 2: Take square root.

10 = z²

√10 = z

I hope this helps!

A group of friends went fishing. They each caught 20 fish but not all of them were keepers. Which person was able to keep 3/5 of

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Those who were able to keep 12 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 20 (each)

Required

Which was able to keep 3/5

First, we need to calculate 3/5 of the total number of fishes

Fish = 3/5 * 20

Fish = (3 * 20)/5

Fish = 60/5

Fish = 12

From the calculation above, only those who keep 12 of the 20 fishes were able to keep 3/5 of their fishes

Answer:

hey:)

12:15-8:15=4hr

17:30-13:00=4:30hr

4+4:30=8:30hr

$11/hr therefore:

8:30×11= 8.5×11=93.5

and now round it to the nearest hundredth:) I hope this was helpful

Step-by-step explanation:

Air pressure is measured in pascals. For a professional American football game, the ball should be inflated to about 90,000 pascals. Scientists studied the effects of air temperature on the pressure inside American footballs by taking these steps:

1. Prepare 100 footballs.

2. Measure each football's air pressure.

3. Divide footballs into 10 groups.

4. Place the groups in different lockers cooled to different air temperatures.

5. After 12 hours, remove the footballs from lockers.

6. Measure each football’s pressure again.

7. Compare the new pressures to the starting pressures.

What two terms best describe the variable "air pressure inside the football" in this experiment?

independent, qualitative

independent, quantitative

dependent, qualitative

dependent, quantitative

Refer to this sketch of a warehouse please answer please and thank you

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

2) 12,000 ft²

3) 30 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

2) 1. You can calculate the lateral surface area of the exterior walls of the warehouse by applying the formula shown below:

$LA=h(2l+2w)$

Where h is the height, l is the lenght and w is the width.

2. Substitute values and you obtain that the lateral area is:

$LA=20ft[(2*200ft)+(2*100ft)]$

$LA=12,000ft^{2}$

3) You know that 1 gallon of paint covers 400 ft², therefore for 12,000 ft² are needed the following number of gallons (which is represented by x):

$x=\frac{(1gallon)(12,000ft^{2})}{400ft^{2}}=30gallons$
