Calculate the value of x in each case​

Mathematics
1 answer:
pav-90 [236]3 years ago
5 0

Exact answer: x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{2}\\\\

Approximate answer: x \approx 12.2577

====================================================

How to find the answer:

Focus on the largest triangle. It appears to be a right triangle. If so, then we can use the pythagorean theorem to get the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2\\\\a^2 + 144 = 169\\\\a^2 = 169 - 144\\\\a^2 = 25\\\\a = \sqrt{25}\\\\a = 5

The horizontal leg of the largest right triangle is 5 units long.

The identical single tickmarks tell us that the horizontal leg is cut into two smaller pieces of equal length.

Each smaller piece is 5/2 = 2.5 units long.

------------------------------

Now focus on the smaller skinny right triangle with legs a = 2.5, b = 12 and hypotenuse c = x.

Use the pythagorean theorem again to find the hypotenuse x.

2.5^2 + 12^2 = c^2\\\\6.25 + 144 = x^2\\\\150.25 = x^2\\\\x^2 = 150.25\\\\x = \sqrt{150.25}\\\\x = \sqrt{\frac{601}{4}}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{\sqrt{4}}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{601}}{2}\\\\x \approx 12.2577

Let p be the population proportion for the following condition. Find the point estimates for p and q. In a survey of 1226 adults
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

(a)0.3303

(b)0.6697

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimation is the use of sample data to calculate a single value which serves as a best estimate of a given unknown population parameter.

Total Sample=1226

Number who said that they were not confident that the food they eat in country A is safe=405.

The point estimate of those who said that they were not confident that the food they eat in country A is safe is given as \^{p}

(a)Point Estimate for p,

\^{p}=\frac{405}{1226} =0.3303

(b)Point estimate for q, \^{q}=1- (point estimate for p)

=1-0.3303

=0.6697

Hypotenuse therom ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

1) find c^2

22^2 + 16.1^2= c^2 ———->743.21

2) square root c^2 to find c

square root of 743.21 = 27.2 so D

Figure out the pattern, fill in the blank square.
Cloud [144]

Answer:448

Step-by-step explanation:

So to start,you can see that 8 times 2 is 16.And 16 times 4 is 64.So the pattern is times 2 then times 4 then times 6.On the edges you can see 64.You multiply 64 by 6 and you get 384.Then you multiply 8 times 6 that equals 48.And you multiply 4 times 4 and get 16.After you add 384 and 48 which equals 432.And then your done.(I think that's the answer)
