The base of a triangle is one third of its height. If the area of the triangle is 24 square inches, what are the base and height of the triangle?
A. 3in, 9 in
B. 8in, 24 in
C. 2in, 6in
D. 4in, 12in

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 4in, 12in

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle  = 24in²

Unknown:

Base and height of the triangle = ?

Solution:

The area of a triangle  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height

   From the problem,

        base  = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x height

let the base  = b

            height  = h

         b =  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]h

          h = 3b

Input into the formula of area;

       24  =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x b x 3b

   Mulitply through by 2;

       48 = 3b²

         b² = 16

         b = √16 = 4

So, h = 3b= 3 x 4 = 12in

Suppose 52% of the population has a college degree. If a random sample of size 563563 is selected, what is the probability that the proportion of persons with a college degree will differ from the population proportion by less than 5%5%? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]P(| \^ p -  p| < 0.05 ) = 0.9822 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population proportion is  [tex]p =  0.52[/tex]

     The sample size is  n  =  563      

Generally the population mean of the sampling distribution is mathematically  represented as

           [tex]\mu_{x} =  p =  0.52[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is mathematically  evaluated as

       [tex]\sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{ p(1- p)}{n} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{ 0.52 (1- 0.52 )}{563} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma  =   0.02106 [/tex]

Generally the  probability that the proportion of persons with a college degree will differ from the population proportion by less than 5% is mathematically represented as

            [tex]P(| \^ p -  p| < 0.05 ) =  P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 ))[/tex]

  Here  [tex]\^ p[/tex] is the sample proportion  of persons with a college degree.

So

 [tex]P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = P(\frac{[[0.05 -0.52]]- 0.52}{0.02106} < \frac{[\^p - p] - p}{\sigma }  < \frac{[[0.05 -0.52]] + 0.52}{0.02106} )[/tex]

Here  

    [tex]\frac{[\^p - p] - p}{\sigma }  = Z (The\ standardized \  value \  of\  (\^ p - p))[/tex]

=> [tex]P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = P[\frac{-0.47 - 0.52}{0.02106 }  <  Z  < \frac{-0.47 + 0.52}{0.02106 }][/tex]

=> [tex]P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = P[ -2.37 <  Z  < 2.37 ][/tex]

=>  [tex]P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = P(Z <  2.37 ) - P(Z < -2.37 )[/tex]

From the z-table  the probability of  (Z <  2.37 ) and  (Z < -2.37 ) is

  [tex]P(Z <  2.37 ) = 0.9911[/tex]

and

  [tex]P(Z <  - 2.37 ) = 0.0089[/tex]

So

=>[tex]P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) =0.9911-0.0089[/tex]

=>[tex]P( - (0.05 - 0.52 ) <  \^ p <  (0.05 + 0.52 )) = 0.9822 [/tex]

=> [tex]P(| \^ p -  p| < 0.05 ) = 0.9822 [/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠4 + m∠16 = 180° [Consecutive exterior angles]

m∠16 = m∠14 [corresponding angles]

Therefore, m∠4 + m∠14 = 180°

m∠7 + m∠11 = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]

m∠11 = m∠9 [Corresponding angles]

Therefore, m∠7 + m∠9 = 180°

In both the cases sum of the given angles is 180°.

Therefore, measure of ∠4 and ∠14 are related in the same way as the measurement of ∠9 and ∠7.

y = 3/2x + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this formula to find the slope. y2-y2/x2-x1

Plug in

1-4/-1-1= -3/-2 = 3/2

So the slope is 3/2

To find the y-intercept use one of the points you were given. (1,4)

Plug in (1,4)

4 = 3/2(1) + b (b is the y-intercept)

4 = 3/2 + b (minus 3/2 on both sides)

2.5 = b or 5/2 = b

Rosa is correct in using a division expression because the term ""per"" implies the quotient of the quantities before and after that word. B. Rosa is correct in using a division expression because the cost per pound should be less than $4. C. Rosa is incorrect in using a division expression because ""cost per pound"" refers to the product of the price and weight. D. Rosa is incorrect in using a division expression because the cost per pound must be an integer.

Answers

Answer: A. Rosa is correct in using a division expression because the term ""per"" implies the quotient of the quantities before and after that word.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term ; Cost per pound can be interpreted mathematically to mean;

Cost / pound ; where per means division. In the context above ;

cost per pound = cost of 1 pound of an item ;

(Stated Cost of the item ÷ pound of the item at the stated cost)

For the question above ;

2/3 pounds of ground beef cost $4;

Cost per pound = cost of 1 pound of ground beef ;

= $4 ÷ (2/3)

= $6

Hence, 1 pound of ground beef cost $6
