-3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
An example is -3.5.
1.) Which of the following is the correct equation for the Pythagorean Theorem, where a and b are the side lengths and c is the length of the hypotenuse?
a.) (a+b)^2=c^2
b.) a^2+b^2=c^2
c.) a^2-b^2=c^2
d.) (a-b)^2=c^2
3.) Find the distance between the points (9, −7) and (5, −4).(1 point)
a.) 5
b.) 25
c.) √7
d.) √137
4.) To find the distance between (17, 3) and (17, −5), Marcia used the following equation. Is Marcia correct? Explain.
D = | 3 − (−5) | = 8
a.) Marcia is not correct. Since the points are in two-dimensions, the distance formula must be used to find the distance.
b.)Marcia is correct. For any pair of points, the distance between the points can be treated as if they are in one-dimension.
c.)Marcia is correct. Since the x-coordinates are the same, the distance between the points can be treated as if they are in one-dimension.
d.)Marcia is not correct. According to the distance formula, the distance should be D=√(17-17)^2+(3-(-5))^2=√8
Option d for question 4 should be:
d.)Marcia is not correct. According to the distance formula, the distance should be D=√(17-17)^2+(3-(-5))^2=8
Answer:
1. (b) a^2+b^2=c^2
3. (a) 5
4. (d) Marcia is not correct. According to the distance formula, the distance should be D=√(17-17)^2+(3-(-5))^2=8
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) From Pythagoras' theorem, the square of the hypotenuse side of a given right-angled triangle, is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Now, if the other two sides are a and b, and the hypotenuse is c, then using this theorem, the following holds:
c² = a² + b²
(2) The distance D, between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by;
D = √(a-c)² + (b-d)² ----------------(i)
From the question, the points given are (9, -7) and (5, -4):
This means that;
a = 9
b = -7
c = 5
d = -4
Substitute these values into equation (i) and get;
D = √(9-5)² + (-7- (-4))²
D = √(4)² + (-3)²
D = √16 + 9
D = √25
D = 5
Therefore, the distance between these points is 5 units
(4) As explained in question 3 above, Maria is not correct. To find the distance between two points, we use the relation shown in the answer to question 3 above. i.e
D = √(a-c)² + (b-d)²
Since the given points are (17, 3) and (17, -5), it implies that;
a = 17
b = 3
c = 17
d = -5
D = √(17-17)² + (3-(-5))²
D = √(0)² + (8)²
D = √8²
D = 8
1/x - 1/y = 1/4
1/x^2 - 1/y^2 = 3/16
x + y = ...
GIVEN:
1/x - 1/y = ¼.1/x² - 1/y² = 3/16.TO FIND:
The value of x + y.ANSWER:
Firstly let us assume ,
p = 1/x .q = 1/y .Now the equⁿ s becomes ,
=> p - q = 4 . ........(1)
Also , given that:
=> 1/x² - 1/y² = 3/16.
=> p² - q² = 3/16.
=> (p+q)(p-q) = 3/16.
From (1),
=> 4 (p+q) = 13/16.
=> (p+q) = 13/16 × 1/4.
=> p+ q = 13/64.
On adding (1) and (2) ,
=> 2p = 4 + 13/64.
=> 2p = 256+13/64.
=> p = 269/64 × 1/2.
=> p = 269/128.
Now lets find q ,
=> q = 13/64 - 269/128.
=> q = 26-269/128.
=> q = -243/128.
Hence
p = 269/128.q = -243/128..°. x = 128/269 , y = -128/243
It is known that the birth weights of full-term newborn infants in the U.S. have an approximately normal distribution with a mean weight of 6.8 lbs and a standard deviation of 1.7. Approximately what proportion of newborn babies will have a birth weight between 6 lbs and 8 lbs? Provide all four decimal places in your answer.
Answer: 0.4419
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The birth weights of full-term newborn infants in the U.S. have an approximately normal distribution with a mean weight of 6.8 lbs and a standard deviation of 1.7.
i.e. [tex]\mu=6.8\ \ \ \text{ and }\sigma= 1.7[/tex]
Let X denotes the birth weight.
Then, the proportion of newborn babies will have a birth weight between 6 lbs and 8 lbs is given by :-
[tex]P(6<X<8)=P(\dfrac{6-6.8}{1.7}<\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{8-6.8}{1.7})\\\\=P(-0.47<Z<0.71)\ \ \ [Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}] \\\\=P(Z<0.71)-(1-P(Z-0.47))\\\\=0.7611-(1-0.6808)\ \ \ [\text{By z-table}]\\\\= 0.4419[/tex]
Hence, the proportion of newborn babies will have a birth weight between 6 lbs and 8 lbs is 0.4419 .

A solid aluminum cube has sides each of length L . A second cube of the same material has sides four times the length of the first cube; i.e., 4 L . Compared to the first cube, the total surface area of the second cube is
Answer:
Compared to the first cube, the total surface are of the second cube is 16 times larger.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first cube has L*L*6=6L²
The second cube has 4L*4L*6=14L²*6=84L²
Compared to the first cube, the total surface are of the second cube is 16 times larger. (6*16=84)
If a=8 and b=5 and x=4 and y=6m -2 what is the value of m ?
Answer:
m = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x = 4
y = 6m - 2
a = 8
b = 5
Required:
Value of m
SOLUTION:
x and y are segments of a chord divided when it intersects another chord that also has segments a and b.
According to the Intersecting chords theorem, [tex] a*b = x*y [/tex]
Thus:
[tex] 8*5 = 4*(6m - 2) [/tex]
Solve for m
[tex] 40 = 24m - 8 [/tex]
[tex] 40 + 8 = 24m - 8 + 8 [/tex]
[tex] 48 = 24m [/tex]
[tex] \frac{48}{24} = \frac{24m}{24} [/tex]
[tex] 2 = m [/tex]
The value of m = 2

a ladder 10 m long,leans against a vertical wall at an angle of 70° to the ground.if the ladder slips down the wall 4m,find,correct to 2 significant figure
(a) the new angle which the ladder makes with the ground
(b) the distance the ladder slipped back on the ground from it's original position
Answer:
(a) The new angle the ladder makes with the ground = 32.66°
(b) The distance the ladder slipped back on the ground from it's original position = 5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The length of the ladder = 10 m
Angle of inclination of the ladder = 70°
Length to which the ladder slips down the wall = 4 m
(a) The height of the wall adjacent to the ladder = 10×sin(70°) ≈ 9.4 m
The new height of the wall adjacent to the ladder after the ladder slips down 4 m = 9.4 - 4 = 5.4 m
Therefore, the new angle of inclination of the ladder = sin⁻¹(5.4/10) = 32.66°
The new angle the ladder makes with the ground = 32.66°
(b) The distance the ladder slipped back on the ground from its original position is found as follows
The initial distance of the base of the ladder from the wall = 10 × cos(70°) = 3.42 m
The distance of the base of the ladder from the wall after slipping 4 m down the wall = 10 × cos(32.66°) ≈ 8.42 m.
Therefore, the amount by which the ladder slip back on the ground from its original position = 8.42 - 3.42 = 5 m.
The distance the ladder slipped back on the ground from it's original position = 5 m.
what is the probability that the card drawn from a stack of 52 cards is a face card or a black card?
Answer: 8/13
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 52 cards in a deck.
26 cards are black --> P(Black) = 26/52
Face cards are J, Q, K. There are 12 face cards --> P(Face) = 12/52
6 Face cards are black --> P(both) = 6/52
Face card or Black card - both Face card & Black
[tex]\dfrac{26}{52}[/tex] + [tex]\dfrac{12}{52}[/tex] - [tex]\dfrac{6}{52}[/tex] [tex]=\dfrac{32}{52}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{32}{52}\div \dfrac{4}{4}=\dfrac{8}{13}[/tex]

Geometry: Find the value of x.
X = [?]°
Answer:
x = 25°
Step-by-step explanation:
The secant- secant angle DGB is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( BD - FE) = 55
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](135 - x) = 55 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
135 - x = 110 ( subtract 135 from both sides )
- x = -25 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = 25°

Johanna rode her bike 7 miles to a lake . She rode 3/4 of distance to the lake before lunch. How many miles did johanna ride before lunch?
Answer:
5.25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Total distance = 7 miles
Distance she rode before lunch = 3/4 of the total distance
=> 3/4 of 7
=> 21/4
=> 5.25 miles
So, she drove 5.25 miles before lunch.
