Answer:

  CX = 15√2 inches

  BC = 15√3 inches

  AC = 15√6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometry, all of the triangles are similar:

  ΔABC ~ ΔACX ~ ΔCBX

Corresponding segments are proportional in similar triangles, so we have ...

  AX/CX = CX/BX = (long leg)/(short leg)

Filling in the numbers, we get

  30/CX = CX/15

  CX² = 15×30

  CX = 15√2 . . . . . exact length of the altitude (inches)

__

Similarly, we can form proportions with the legs:

  AB/BC = CB/BX

  BC² = (BX)(AB) = (45)(15)

  BC = 15√3 . . . inches

and

  AC/AB = AX/AC

  AC² = (AX)(AB) = (30)(45)

  AC = 15√6 . . . inches

_____

Additional comment

You may notice that each of the segments we're interested in is the root of a product involving segments of the hypotenuse. This "root of a product" is called the geometric mean. Here, the three geometric mean relations are ...

  altitude = geometric mean of hypotenuse segments

  short side = geometric mean of short segment and whole hypotenuse

  long side = geometric mean of long segment and whole hypotenuse

__

Strictly speaking the geometric mean is the n-th root of the product of n items. Here, there are only 2 items, so it is the square root of their product.

Billy wants to find out which cafeteria food is the favorite in his school for students. He surveys 100 students. 29 students select sub sandwiches, 35 select steak and gravy, and 36 select fried chicken. if you select one of these students. What is the probability it will be a student who prefers chicken


Answer choices
A. 7/20
B. 9/25
C. 40%
D.29/100​

Answers

Answer:

36% or  9/25

Step-by-step explanation:

35+36+29=100 so 100-35-29=64 and 36 are left so you divide 9/25 and you get 0.36 and you put it into a percentage and the answer is 36% or  9/25.

The probability it will be a student who prefers chicken is, 36/100.

What is probability?

Probability is a mathematical term, which can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event. The possibility that an event will occur is measured by probability.

Probability of Event = Favorable Outcomes/Total Outcomes = X/n

Given that,

He surveys 100 students,

29 students select sub sandwiches,

35 select steak and gravy,

and 36 select fried chicken

The probability of selecting a student who prefers fried chicken can be found by dividing the number of students who prefer chicken by the total number of students surveyed:

36/100 = 36%.

This can also be expressed as a decimal or a percentage:

0.36 or 36%.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Since, BC is perpendicular to the plane FEDC, measure of angle BCD = 90°

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔBCD,

BD² = BC² + CD²

BD² = (10)² + (24)²

BD = √676

BD = 26 cm

B). Surface area of the wedge = Sum of all the surfaces of the wedge

Area of BCD = Area of AEF = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]

                                             = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(10)(24)[/tex]

                                             = 120 cm²

Area of CDEF = Length × Width

                       = ED × CD

                       = 26 × 24

                       = 624 cm²

Area of BCFA = 10 × 26 = 260 cm²

Area of ABDE = ED × BD

                       = 26 × 26

                       = 676 cm²

Total surface area of the wedge = 2(120) + 624 + 260 + 676

                                                     = 1800 cm²

C). Volume of the triangular prism = Area of the triangular base × Height

                                                         = (Area of BCD) × DE

                                                         = 120 × 26

                                                         = 3120 cm³

d). By applying sine rule in the right triangle BCD,

sin(∠BDC) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{BC}{BD}[/tex]

m(∠BDC) = [tex]\text{sin}^{-1}(\frac{10}{26})[/tex]

Gavin drank 3/4 of a liter of orange juice from the container, which was 3/8 of the orange juice that was originally in the container. How much orange juice was originally in the container?​

Answers

Answer:

Originally there were 2 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

--

3/8 of the orange juice = 3/4 liter

1/8 of the orange juice = 3/4 ÷ 3

1/8 of the orange juice = 3/4 x 1/3

1/8 of the orange juice = 1/4 liter

Find 8/8, which is one whole.

1/8 of the orange juice = 1/4 liter

8/8 of the orange juice = 1/4 x 8

8/8 of the orange juice = 2 liters

There were originally 2 liters of orange juice in the container

Over which interval(s) is g(x) = x2 + x - 12 positive?
A. -4 < x < 3
B. X <-4 and x > 3
C. X <-3 and x > 4
D. 3 < x < 4

Answers

Answer:

B.   x < -4  and x > 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor and set = to 0

[tex]x^{2} + x - 12\\( x + 4)(x - 3)[/tex] = 0

x = - 4  or x = 3     I call these critical values

The two numbers would divide a number line into 3 intervals.  Pick a value in one of the intervals and put it in the original expression.  If it makes the function positive, then all the values in that interval make the function positive.  If the value you picked makes the function negative, then the values in the other intervals will make the function negative.  Let's pick the value of 0 and substitute it into the function

We get [tex]0^{2}[/tex] + 0 - 12 = -12 which is not positive.  Therefore, all the values between -4 and 3 will make the function negative.  So, the values less than -4 or greater than 3 will make the function positive.  Therefore, B is the correct answer.

Another way to do this problem is to graph the function and see where the graph is above the x-axis.  But, sometimes it is not easy to graph the function.

Find the simple interest and amount when principal = Rs. 6000, rate = 6% per annum and time = 4 years

Answers

Given:

Principal = Rs. 6000

Rate of simple interest = 6% per annum.

Time = 4 years

To find:

The simple interest and amount.

Solution:

Formula for simple interest:

[tex]I=\dfrac{P\times r\times t}{100}[/tex]

Where, P is principal, r is the rate of interest and t is the number of years.

Putting P=6000, r=6 and t=4, we get

[tex]I=\dfrac{6000\times 6\times 4}{100}[/tex]

[tex]I=60\times 6\times 4[/tex]

[tex]I=1440[/tex]

Now,

[tex]Amount=Principal+Interest[/tex]

[tex]Amount=6000+1440[/tex]

[tex]Amount=7440[/tex]

Therefore, the simple interest is Rs. 7440 and the amount is Rs 7440.
