In the diagram below, $RT:TS = 1:2$ and $SR = PQ = 20$. Find $UV$.

Answers

Answer 1

It's pretty easy not college levlel just some simple high school geomerty.

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation: Because $\overline{PQ}$, $\overline{UV}$, and $\overline{SR}$ are all perpendicular to $\overline{QR}$, we have $\overline{PQ} \parallel \overline{UV} \parallel \overline{SR}$. Therefore, we have $\angle UPQ = \angle UTS$ and $\angle UQP = \angle UST$, which means that $\triangle UPQ \sim \triangle UTS$. So, we have $UQ/US = PQ/ST$.

Because $ST/SR = 2/3$ and $PQ = SR$, we have

\[\frac{UQ}{US} = \frac{PQ}{ST} = \frac{SR}{ST} = \frac{3}{2}.\]Since $UQ/US = 3/2$, we have $UQ/QS = 3/5$.

We have $\triangle UQV \sim \triangle SQR$ by AA Similarity, so $UV/SR = UQ/QS = 3/5$. Therefore, we have $UV = (3/5)SR = \boxed{12}$.

The commute time for people in a city has an exponential distribution with an average of 0.66 hours. What is the probability that a randomly selected person in this city will have a commute time between 0.55 and 1.1 hours? Answer: (round to 3 decimal places)

Answers

Answer:

[tex] P(0.55 <X<1.1)= F(1.1) -F(0.55) [/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(0.55 <X<1.1)= (1-e^{-\frac{1}{0.66} *1.1}) -(1-e^{-\frac{1}{0.66} *0.55})[/tex]

[tex] P(0.55 <X<1.1)=e^{-\frac{1}{0.66} *0.55}- e^{-\frac{1}{0.66} *1.1}=0.2457[/tex]

And rounded the answer would be 0.246

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the random variable X as "The commute time for people in a city" and for this case the distribution of X is given by:

[tex] X \sim exp (\lambda = \frac{1}{0.66}= 1.515)[/tex]

And for this case we want to find the following probability:

[tex] P(0.55 <X<1.1)[/tex]

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

[tex] F(x) =1- e^{-\lambda x}[/tex]

And using this formula we got:

[tex] P(0.55 <X<1.1)= F(1.1) -F(0.55) [/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(0.55 <X<1.1)= (1-e^{-\frac{1}{0.66} *1.1}) -(1-e^{-\frac{1}{0.66} *0.55})[/tex]

[tex] P(0.55 <X<1.1)=e^{-\frac{1}{0.66} *0.55}- e^{-\frac{1}{0.66} *1.1}=0.2457[/tex]

And rounded the answer would be 0.246

In a packet of stickers there are small stars, big stars, small rockets, and big rockets. Kevin is going to choose one of these stickers from the packet at random to put on his artwork. What is the probability that the sticker Kevin chooses is big or is a rocket

Answers

Answer:

3/4 or 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

You have four options available

Lets say P(A) is pick a rocket

P(A) = 2/4 because there are two rockets in the four choices

simplify it to 1/2

P(B) pick a big = 2/4 because there are two bigs and two smalls.

simplify it to 1/2

P(A ∩ B) = Pick a big rocket = 1/4

P(AUB) = P(A)+P(B)- P(A ∩ B)

P(AUB) = 1/2+1/2- 1/4 = 3/4 or 0.75

The volume of all 9 spheres is 301.6 [tex]in^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that three of the identical spheres fit perfectly along the 12 in side box, therefore we know that the diameter of each is 12 in/3 = 4 in.

Then the radius of each sphere must be 2 inches (half of the diameter). Now that we know the radius of each sphere, we use the formula for the volume of a sphere to find it:

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (2\,in)^3\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi\, 8\,\,in^3\\V=\frac{32}{3} \pi\,\,in^3[/tex]

Now, the total volume of all nine spheres is the product of 9 times the volume we just found:

[tex]V_{all \,9}=9\,*\frac{32}{3} \pi\,\,in^3\\V_{all \,9}=96 \pi\,\,in^3\\V_{all \,9}\approx \,301.6\,\,in^3[/tex]

Brand name producers of aspirin claim that one advantage of their aspirin over generic aspirin is that brand name aspirin is much more consistent in the amount of active ingredient used. This in turn means that users can expect the same results each time they use the brand name aspirin, while the effects of the generic aspirin can be a lot more variable. A random sample of 200 brand name aspirin tablets had a mean and standard deviation of active ingredient of 325.01 and 10.12 mg. A second independent sample of 180 generic aspirin tablets was measured for the amount of active ingredient, and the mean standard deviation were 323.47 and 11.43 mg. Given that the amount of active ingredient is normally distributed for both the brand name and the generic aspirin, do these data support the brand name producers claim? Let alpha = 0.025.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim here is that the brand name aspirin is more consistent in the amount of active ingredient used than the generic aspirin.

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μ1 be the mean amount of active ingredients in brand name aspirin and μ2 be the mean amount of active ingredients in generic name aspirin

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean amount of active ingredients between the brand name and generic aspirin

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 ≥ μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 ≥ 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 < μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 < 0

This is a left tailed test

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

x1 = 325.01

x2 = 323.47

s1 = 10.12

s2 = 11.43

n1 = 200

n2 = 180

t = (325.01 - 323.47)/√(10.12²/200 + 11.43²/180)

t = 1.24

1.237877

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [10.12²/200 + 11.43²/180]²/[(1/200 - 1)(10.12²/200)² + (1/180 - 1)(11.43²/180)²] = 1.53233946713/0.00537245359

df = 285

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.108

Since alpha, 0.025 < than the p value, 0.108, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at 2.5% level of significance, these data support the brand name producers claim

What is the area of a shape with points a 5 -8 b 11, -8 c 11,0 d 6,-3 e 4,-3

Answers

Answer:

Area of the given figure is 51.5 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle OCBH = Length × width

                                         = 11 × 8

                                         = 88 square units

Area of trapezoid OGEF = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)\times h[/tex]

                                         = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{GE+OF)}\times (\text{OG})[/tex]

                                         = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(3+6)\times 4[/tex]

                                         = 18 units²

Area of trapezoid GCDE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{GC+DE)}\times (\text{GE})[/tex]

                                         = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(7+2)\times 3[/tex]

                                         = 13.5 units²

Area of triangle AFH = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})\times (\text{Height})[/tex]

                                  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(5)(2)[/tex]

                                  = 5 units²

Area of polygon ABCDEF = Area of rectangle CBHO - (Area of trapezoid OGEF + Area of trapezoid GCDE + Area of triangle AFH)

                                           = 88 - (18 + 13.5 + 5)

                                           = 88 - 36.5

                                           = 51.5 units²

Therefore, area of the given polygon is 51.5 units²

A piece of wire of length 7070 is​ cut, and the resulting two pieces are formed to make a circle and a square. Where should the wire be cut to​ (a) minimize and​ (b) maximize the combined area of the circle and the​ square?

Answers

Answer:

a.x=39.2

b.Use whole  wire as a circle

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of piece of wire=70  units

Let length of wire used to make a square =x units

Length of wire used in circle=70- x

Side of square=[tex]\frac{perimeter\;of\;square}{4}=\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Circumference of circle=[tex]2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]70-x=2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{70-x}{2\pi}[/tex]

Combined area of circle and square,A=[tex](\frac{x}{4})^2+\pi(\frac{70-x}{2\pi})^2[/tex]

Using the formula

Area of circle=[tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

Area of square=[tex](side)^2[/tex]

a.[tex]A=\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{4900+x^2-140x}{4\pi}[/tex]

Differentiate w.r.t x

[tex]\frac{dA}{dx}=\frac{x}{8}+\frac{2x-140}{4\pi}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dx}=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{8}+\frac{2x-140}{4\pi}=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\pi x+4x-280}{4\pi}=0[/tex]

[tex]\pi x+4x-280=0[/tex]

[tex]x(\pi+4)=280[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{280}{\pi+4}[/tex]

x=39.2

Again differentiate w.r.t x

[tex]\frac{d^2A}{dx^2}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2\pi}[/tex]>0

Hence, the combined area of circle and the square is minimum at x=39.2

b.When the wire is not cut and whole wire used  as a circle . Then, combined area is maximum.

You are standing 5 miles away from the peak. You look up at a 47-degree angle to the peak. How tall is the mountain? Hint: 5280 feet = 1 mile. Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answers

Answer:

19272 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distance between the person and peak is 5 miles.

and angle is [tex]47^\circ[/tex] when we look up at the mountain peak.

The given situation is best represented as a right angled triangle as shown in the attached figure.

[tex]\triangle[/tex]IKJ where [tex]\angle K = 90^\circ[/tex]

IK is the mountain.

J is the point where we are standing.

Distance JI = 5 miles

[tex]\angle J = 47^\circ[/tex]

To find: Distance IK = ?

We can use trigonometric identities to find IK.

[tex]sin\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]sinJ = \dfrac{IK}{JI}\\\Rightarrow sin47 = \dfrac{IK}{5}\\\Rightarrow IK = sin47^\circ \times 5\\\Rightarrow IK = 0.73 \times 5\\\Rightarrow IK = 3.65\ miles \\\Rightarrow IK = 3.65 \times 5280\ ft\\\Rightarrow IK = 19272\ ft[/tex]

Hence, height of mountain = 19272 ft

Answers

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

An orthographic drawing shows a three-dimensional figure from different perspectives or sides. Indeed, the orthographic drawing in the question shows how the object looks if you see this the front, side, and top of this. This implies the foundation drawing needs to match the figures of the orthographic drawing.

According to this, the correct figure is A because this is the only one that has a rectangle shape, and due to this, if you look at this from any different sides you will always see a rectangle. For example, the top view shows a rectangle of approximately 2x3 squares, and this view only fits with option A because B and C are not complete rectangles and therefore their top view is not a rectangle.
