What are the similar triangles?

Similar triangles are the triangles that have the same shape, but different sizes. The corresponding angles are congruent and the sides are in proportion.

What is the ratio of any two corresponding sides of similar triangles?

The ratio of any corresponding sides in two equiangular triangles is always the same.

Let's visualize the situation according to the given question.

AB is the building ,whose height is 51f

BC is the shadow of the building AB, whose length is 48ft.

QR is the shadow of the tower statue, whose length is 16feet.

Let the height of the statue PR be h feet.

In triangle ACB and triangle PRQ

∠ACB = ∠PRQ = 90 degrees  

( the objects and shadows are perpendicular to each other)

∠BAC = ∠QPR

( sunray falls on the pole and tower at the same angle, at the same time )

ΔACB similar to ΔPRQ   ( AA criterion)

Therefore, the ratio of any two corresponding sides in equiangular triangles is always same.

⇒ AC/CB = PR/RQ

⇒[tex]\frac{51}{48} =\frac{h}{16}[/tex]

⇒ h = [tex]\frac{(51)(16)}{48}[/tex]

⇒ h = 17 feet.

Hence, the statute is 17 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the length of the base. Then (b+4) is the height and the area of the triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  70 = 1/2(b)(b+4)

  b² +4b -140 = 0 . . . . . multiply by 2, put in standard form

Answers

To solve the problem.

W=m×g

W=28×10

W=280.

The weight of a dog on the surface of earth is 280N.

Answer:

274.68N and 45.36N respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of any object is the mass in kilograms(kg) multiplied by the gravity in meter per square second(m/s^2). The gravity on earth is 9.81m/s^2 and on moon is 1.62m/s^2...so since the gravity varies the weight of the dog will also vary. The wight on earth would be 28kg multiplied by 9.81m/s^2 which would be 274.68N and the weight on moon would be 28kg multiplied by 1.62m/s^2 which would be 45.36N.

A record store owner finds that 20% of customers entering her store make a purchase. One morning 180 people, who can be regarded as a random sample of all customers, enter the store.
a. What is the mean of the distribution of the sample proportion of customers making a purchase?
b) What is the variance of the sample proportion?
c) What is the standard error of the sample proportion?
d) What is the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.15?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.2

b) 0.0009

c) 0.0298

d) 0.0465 = 4.65% probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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]

20% of customers entering her store make a purchase.

This means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]

180 people

This means that [tex]n = 180[/tex]

a. What is the mean of the distribution of the sample proportion of customers making a purchase?

By the Central Limit Theorem, [tex]\mu = p = 0.2[/tex].

b) What is the variance of the sample proportion?

The standard deviation is:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{180}} = 0.0298[/tex]

Variance is the square of the standard deviation, so:

[tex]s^2 = (0.0298)^2 = 0.0009[/tex]

c) What is the standard error of the sample proportion?

As found in the previous item, 0.0298.

d) What is the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.15?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.15. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.15 - 0.20}{0.0298}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0465.

0.0465 = 4.65% probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.15.

Answer:

H1 : correlation is not equal to 0 ;

Pvalue < α ;

There is sufficient evidence

r = 0.945 ;

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Lemon_Imports_(x) Crash_Fatality_Rate_(y)

230 15.8

264 15.6

359 15.5

482 15.3

531 14.9

Using technology :

The regression equation obtained is :

y = 16.3363-0.002455X

Where, slope = - 0.002455 ; Intercept = 16.3363

The Correlation Coefficient, r = 0.945

H0 : correlation is equal to 0

H1 : correlation is not equal to 0 ;

The test statistic, T:

T = r / √(1 - r²) / (n - 2)

n = 5 ;

T = 0.945 / √(1 - 0.945²) / (5 - 2)

T = 0.945 / 0.1888341

T = 5.00439

The Pvalue = 0.01524

Since Pvalue < α ; Reject the Null and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim.

You can run at a speed of 4 mph and swim at a speed of 2 mph and are located on the shore, 6 miles east of an island that is 1 mile north of the shoreline. How far (in mi) should you run west to minimize the time needed to reach the island

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5.423 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance to run. Then the remaining distance to the point that is closest to the island is (6-x) miles. The straight-line distance (d) to the point x from the island is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  d² = 1² +(6 -x)² = x² -12x +37

  d = √(x² -12x +37)

The total travel time is the sum of times running and swimming. Each time is found from ...

  time = distance/speed

  total time = x/4 + d/2 = x/4 +(1/2)√(x² -12x +37)

__

The total time will be minimized when its derivative with respect to x is zero.

  t' = 1/4 +(1/4)(2x -12)/√(x² -12x +37) = 0

Multiplying by 4 and combining fractions, we can see the numerator will be ...

  √(x² -12x +37) +2x -12 = 0

Subtracting the radical term and squaring both sides, we get ...

  4x² -48x +144 = x² -12x +37

  3x² -36x +107 = 0

The quadratic formula tells us the smaller of the two roots is ...

  x = (36 -√(36² -4(3)(107)))/(2(3)) = (36 -√12)/6 ≈ 5.423 . . . mi

You should run 5.423 miles west to minimize the time needed to reach the island.

A graphing calculator solves this nicely. The attached graph shows the time is a minimum when you run 5.423 miles.

How do you Graph 3x+4y< -16 on the coordinate plane

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Take note of the inequality symbol. It is < (not ≤), so the "equal to" case is not included. That means the line 3x+4y=-16 is not part of the solution set. That boundary line is graphed as a dashed line.

Take note of where the variables are in relation to the inequality symbol. Both are on the "less than" side, so the shading of the graph will be where the values of x and y are less than those on the boundary line. The boundary line has a negative slope, so the values less than those on the boundary are to the left and below the line.

Plot the dashed boundary line 3x +4y = -16, or y = -3/4x -4, and shade the area below and to its left.
