A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 15 cm. What is the length for the missing leg if one of the two legs of the triangle is 5?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The other leg is  12 cm  long.

Step-by-step explanation:

,

where:

c

is the hypotenuse, and  

a

and  

b

are the other two sides (legs).

Let  

a

=

9 cm

Rearrange the equation to isolate  

b

Answer 2

Answer:

14.14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

?² = 15² - 5² = 225 - 25 = 200

? = √200 = 14.14 cm

A powerful women's group has claimed that men and women differ in attitudes about sexual discrimination. A group of 50 men (group 1) and 40 women (group 2) were asked if they thought sexual discrimination is a problem in the United States. Of those sampled, 11 of the men and 19 of the women did believe that sexual discrimination is a problem. Find the value of the test statistic. Round to two decimal places.
A. Z= - 1.20
B. Z= -2.55
C. Z= -1.05
D. Z= -0.85

Answers

Answer:

B. Z= -2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, first we need to understand the central limit theroem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction of normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the subtraction of the means while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

11 of 50 men believe that sexual discrimination is a problem:

This means that:

[tex]p_M = \frac{11}{50} = 0.22, s_M = \sqrt{\frac{0.22*0.78}{50}} = 0.0586[/tex]

19 of 40 women believe that sexual discrimination is a problem:

This means what:

[tex]p_W = \frac{19}{40} = 0.475,  s_W = \sqrt{\frac{0.475*0.525}{40}} = 0.079[/tex]

Difference between the proportion of men and women:

[tex]p_D = p_M - p_W = 0.22 - 0.475 = -0.255[/tex]

[tex]s_D = \sqrt{s_M^2+s_W^2} = \sqrt{0.0586^2+0.079^2} = 0.0984[/tex]

A powerful women's group has claimed that men and women differ in attitudes about sexual discrimination.

This means that the null hypothesis is that they do not differ, than is, the difference is 0. So

[tex]H_0: p_D = 0[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that they differ, that is, the difference is different of 0. So

[tex]H_a: p_D \neq 0[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]

For the sample, we calculated that:

[tex]X = -0.255, s = 0.0984[/tex]

The value of the test-statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{-0.255 - 0}{0.0984}[/tex]

[tex]z = -2.59[/tex]

Closes answer is Z = -2.55, option B.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

Let's use CAH  1st  , on the Lenovo building,  b/c we  have they Hypotenuse (Hyp)  and an angle and we want to know the other side of the Lenovo building

Cos(30) = x/294

294*Cos(30) = x

254.611 = x

Sin(30) = y / 294

294*Sin(30) = y

147 = y

perimeter = 147+254.611+294

perimeter Lenovo = 695.611 feet

For Asus building

hyp = sqrt [ ( 144.5*[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex])^2 +  144.5*[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex])^2 )]

hyp = 289

perimeter = 289+144.5*[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]+144.5*[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

perimeter Asus = 697.7077

The difference of the two buildings is

697.7077 -  695.611 =2.09671 feet

the difference is 2.10 feet ( rounded to nearest 100th)

The value of x by the given data is 190/3 or 63.33

What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of abstract symbols, while logic is the manipulation of all those ideas.

The acronym PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This approach is used to answer the problem correctly and completely.

We are given that;

The angles between the lines

Now,

To find the value of x, you need to use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°1. This means that:

30° + (3x)° + (-40)° = 180°

Simplifying, we get:

(3x)° - 10° = 180°

Adding 10° to both sides, we get:

(3x)° = 190°

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

x = 190/3

Therefore, by algebra the answer will be 190/3 or 63.33.

Hector's income is 78,000 dollars per year (52 weeks).

How much money does he make weekly?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming 52 weeks in a year, you would make $1,500.00 per week.

Answer:

$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the question asks what hector's income per week is.

- Keep in mind that if you are asked what something is per unit, you will most likely need to divide. Example: This problem. See below for answer and explanation.

- If a question asks what something is of  a unit, you will most likely need to multiply. Example: 1/4 of a pizza with 4 slices (1 slice). To solve this, you will have to multiply 1/4 to 4. But never mind this, let's focus at this problem.

The bullet points above essentially explain what you have to do here. To find Hector's income, you have to do 78000/52. The answer to this is 1,500 ($1500).

Answer:

31.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = BC * distance from BC extended to A/2

A to BC extended and the line is vertical from A to BC extended = 7+2 units

A to BC extended and the line is vertical from A to BC extended = 9 units This becomes the height

h = 9 units

BC = 7 units

Area  = 1/2 * h * BC

Area = 1/2 * 9 * 7

What is law of cosine?

Let there is a triangle ABC such that |AB| = a units, |AC| = b units, and |BC| = c units and the internal angle A is of θ degrees, then we have:

a² + b² – 2ab cos C = c²

In a triangle QRS, the length of QR is 21, the length of RS is 32, and the length of SQ is 23.

Then the approximate measure of angle Q will be given as,

RQ² + SQ² – 2 × SQ × RQ × cos Q = RS²

    21² + 23² – 2 × 23 × 21 × cos Q = 32²

                 441 + 529 – 966 cos Q = 1024

                           970 – 966 cos Q = 1024

                                      966 cos Q = – 54

                                              cos Q = – 54 / 966

                                              cos Q = – 0.0559

                                                     Q = 93.2°

The approximate measure of angle Q will be 93.2°.

Then the correct option is B.

Does 23^-1 (mod 1000) exist? If yes solve it.

Answers

Yes, 23 has an inverse mod 1000 because gcd(23, 1000) = 1 (i.e. they are coprime).

Let x be the inverse. Then x is such that

23x ≡ 1 (mod 1000)

Use the Euclidean algorithm to solve for x :

1000 = 43×23 + 11

23 = 2×11 + 1

→   1 ≡ 23 - 2×11   (mod 1000)

→   1 ≡ 23 - 2×(1000 - 43×23)   (mod 1000)

→   1 ≡ 23 - 2×1000 + 86×23   (mod 1000)

→   1 ≡ 87×23 - 2×1000 ≡ 87×23   (mod 1000)
