A guy wire runs from the top of a cell tower to a metal stake in the ground. Joseph places a 8-foot tall pole to support the guy

wire. After placing the pole, Joseph measures the distance from the stake to the pole to be 8 ft. He then measures the distance from the pole to the tower to be 25 ft. Find the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot.

To solve this equation, we need to use the pythagorean theorem.
if 8^2+25^2=the guy wire^2
64+625=the guy wire^2
689=the guy wire^2
the guy wire is 26.25 feet long.

Bob and Doug are both 100-meter sprinters. Bob's sprint time is normally distributed with a mean of 10.00 seconds and Doug's spr
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The standard deviation (σ) = 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to find the standard deviation.

STEEP 1: FIND THE MEAN

(10+9.9) ÷ 2 = 9.95

STEP 2: SQUARE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPRINT TIME AND MEAN

10-9.95= 0.05

0.05^2 = 0.0025

9.9 - 9.95= -0.0025

-0.0025^2 = 0.0025

STEP 3: FIND THE VARIANCE

0.0025+0.0025= 0.005

0.005/2= 0.0025

STEP 4: FIND THE STANDARD DEVIATION (σ )

√variance

√0.0025 = 0.05

Therefore

σ = 0.05.

From the standard deviation, the percentage probability of the higher value to occurs is

0.05×100= 5%

That means Doug has 95%

And Bob has 5%

What is the average of 1/2 and 1/3
nadya68 [22]

Hi there!

In order to fin the average, you need to add all the terms together and then divide the result by the number of terms :

(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}) ÷ 2 = average


Now, I’m assuming that you know that in order to add fractions, both fractions must have the same denominator (bottom number in a fraction). Since these fractions do not have the same denominator, we must give them one.


To find the lowest common denominator (which will help us solve this problem), we must find out what 2 & 3 go into. Well, both numbers go into 6!


So, if the denominator is now 6, you must multiply the numerator (numbers about the “/” line in this case are both 1) by how much you multiplied its denominator by.


For 1/2, you multiplied 2 by 3 to get 6. Therefore, you must multiply the 1 by 3 aswell.


for 1/3, you multiplied 3 by 2 to get 6. Therefore, you must multiply the 1 by 2.


and now you have 3/6+2/6 since the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators normally which gives you 5/6


\frac{5}{6} ÷ 2 = \frac{5}{12}


Your answer is : \frac{5}{12}


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
