What is Right Angled Triangle?Right angled triangle are those triangle for which one of the angle is 90 degrees.
Hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is the longest side.
Opposite side with respect to an angle is the side opposite to that angle.
Adjacent side with respect to an angle is the side which is adjacent to the angle.
Given is a triangle ABC.
Here C is the right angle.
Then the side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse.
So AB is the hypotenuse.
Now we are describing the sides in relation to the ∠B.
Side opposite to ∠B is AC, which is the opposite side.
Side adjacent to ∠B is BC, which is the adjacent side.
This is the description of Thomas.
Hence Thomas is correct about describing the sides in relation to ∠B.

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 14 feet less than the other leg. Find the length of the two legs of the hypotenuse is 25 feet.
Answer:
9.233 ft, 23.233 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2
2x^2 +28x +196 = 625
x^2 +14x = 214.5
x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5
(x +7)^2 = 263.5
x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268
The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.
Answer: 9 ft, 23 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the Pythagorean Theorem is a²+b²=c². Since one leg is 14 less than the other leg, we can use x-14 and the other leg would be x. We can plug these into the Pythagorean Theorem with the given hypotenuse.
(x-14)²+x²=25²
(x²-28x+196)+x²=625
2x²-28x+196=625
2x²-28x-429=0
When we solve for x, we get [tex]x=\frac{14+\sqrt{1054} }{2}[/tex] and [tex]x=\frac{14-\sqrt{1054} }{2}[/tex].
Note, since we rounded to 23, the hypotenuse isn't exactly 25, but it gets very close.

In the diagram below, $RT:TS = 1:2$ and $SR = PQ = 20$. Find $UV$.
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 $UV = (3/5)SR = \boxed{12}$.

in a church wing with 8 men and 10 women members find the probability that a 5 member committee chosen randomly will have.......
a).all men.
b).3men and 2 women
Answer:
a) Probability that a 5 member committee will have all men = 0.0065
b) probability that a 5 member committee chosen randomly will have 3 men and 2 women = 0.294
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of men = 8
Number of women = 10
Total number of members = 10 + 8 = 18
Probability = (Number of possible outcomes)/(Total number of outcomes)
Number of ways of selecting a 5 member committee from 18 people = [tex]^{18}C_5 = \frac{18!}{(18-5)!5!} = \frac{18!}{13!5!}[/tex] = 8568 ways
a) Probability that a 5 member committee will have all men
Number of ways of selecting 5 men from 8 men
= [tex]^8C_5 = \frac{8!}{(8-5)!5!} = \frac{8!}{3!5!}[/tex] = 56 ways
Probability that a 5 member committee will have all men = 56/8568
Probability that a 5 member committee will have all men = 0.0065
b)probability that a 5 member committee chosen randomly will have 3men and 2 women
Number of ways of selecting 3 men from 8 men
= [tex]^8C_3 = \frac{8!}{(8-3)!3!} = \frac{8!}{5!3!}[/tex] = 56 ways
Number of ways of selecting 2 women from 10 men
= [tex]^{10}C_2 = \frac{10!}{(10-2)!2!} = \frac{10!}{8!2!}[/tex] = 45 ways
Number of ways of selecting 3 men and 2 women = 56*45
Number of ways of selecting 3 men and 2 women = 2520
Probability of selecting 3 men and 2 women = 2520/8568 = 0.294
probability that a 5 member committee chosen randomly will have 3 men and 2 women = 0.294

Answer:
C. 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I took the quiz on EDGE
If the first term of the sequence is 120, then f(5) will be 7.5
What is recursively sequence?In mathematics and theoretical computer science, a constant-recursive sequence is an infinite sequence of numbers satisfying a linear recurrence relation: each number in the sequence is equal to a fixed linear combination of one or more of its immediate predecessors. A recursive sequence is a sequence of numbers formed by using previous terms to find the next terms, such as the Fibonacci sequence.How to solve this problem?The steps are as follow:
From the given conditions We knew the sequence is defined by the formula f(n + 1) = - 0.5f(n) and we know f(1) = 120So f(1 + 1) = f(2) = - 0.5f(1) = - 0.5 * 120 = f(2) = - 60Then f(2+1) = f(3) = -0,5 f(2) = -0,5x-60 f(3)=30f(3 + 1) = f(4) = - 0.5f(3) = - 0.5 * 30 = f(4)= -15f(4 + 1) = f(5) = - 0.5f(4) = - 0.5x - 15 = f(5) = 7.5So, f(5) = 7.5So if the first term of the sequence is 120, then f(5) will be 7.5

Answer:
x = 3, -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you already have the factored form, all you need to do is set the equations equal to zero to find you roots:
x - 3 = 0
x + 7 = 0
x = 3, -7
Answer:
3 or -7
Step-by-step explanation:
For it to equal 0, x must be 3 or -7 because anything multiplied by 0 is 0. So you take each part, x-3 and see how you can make that a 0. x-3=0, therefore x must be 3. Other part x+7=0, x must be -7.

According to Brad, consumers claim to prefer the brand-name products better than the generics, but they can't even tell which is which. To test his theory, Brad gives each of 199 consumers two potato chips - one generic, and one brand-name - then asks them which one is the brand-name chip. 92 of the subjects correctly identified the brand-name chip.
Required:
a. At the 0.01 level of significance, is this significantly greater than the 50% that could be expected simply by chance?
b. Find the test statistic value.
Answer:
a. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that correctly identifies the chip is significantly smaller than 50%.
b. Test statistic z=-1.001
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.
The claim is that the proportion that correctly identifies the chip is significantly smaller than 50%.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \pi=0.5\\\\H_a:\pi<0.5[/tex]
The significance level is 0.01.
The sample has a size n=199.
The sample proportion is p=0.462.
[tex]p=X/n=92/199=0.462[/tex]
The standard error of the proportion is:
[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5*0.5}{199}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001256}=0.035[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:
[tex]z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.462-0.5+0.5/199}{0.035}=\dfrac{-0.035}{0.035}=-1.001[/tex]
This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(z<-1.001)=0.16[/tex]
As the P-value (0.16) is greater than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that correctly identifies the chip is significantly smaller than 50%.

Complete Question:
A restaurant borrows $16,100 from a local bank for 4 months. The local bank charges simple interest at an annual rate of 2.45% for this loan. Assume each month is 1/12 of a year.
Answer each part below.Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your final answers to the nearest cent. If necessary, refer to the list of financial formulas.
(a) Find the interest that will be owed after 4 months
(b) Assuming the restaurant doesn't make any payments, find the amount owed after 4 months
Answer:
a) Interest that will be owed after 4 months , I = $131.48
b) Amount owed by the restaurant after 4 months = $16231.48
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the question instructs not to round any intermediate computations except the final answer.
Annual rate = 2.45%
Monthly rate, [tex]R = \frac{2.45\%}{12}[/tex]
R = 0.20416666666%
Time, T = 4 months
Interest, [tex]I = \frac{PRT}{100}[/tex]
[tex]I = \frac{16100 * 0.20416666666 * 4}{100} \\I = 161 * 0.20416666666 * 4\\I = \$131.483333333\\I = \$131.48[/tex]
b) If the restaurant doesn't make any payments, that means after four months, they will be owing both the capital and the interest ( i.e the amount)
Amount owed by the restaurant after 4 months = (Amount borrowed + Interest)
Amount owed by the restaurant after 4 months = 16100 + 131.48
Amount owed by the restaurant after 4 months = $16231.48

A lake has a large population of fish. On average, there are 2,400 fish in the lake, but this number can vary by as much as 155. What is the maximum number of fish in the lake? What is the minimum number of fish in the lake?
Answer:
Minimum population of fish in lake = 2400 - 155 = 2245
Maximum population of fish in lake = 2400 + 155 = 2555
Step-by-step explanation:
population of fish in lake = 2400
Variation of fish = 155
it means that while current population of fish is 2400, the number can increase or decrease by maximum upto 155.
For example
for increase
population of fish can 2400 + 2, 2400 + 70, 2400 + 130 etc
but it cannot be beyond 2400 + 155.
It cannot be 2400 + 156
similarly for decrease
population of fish can 2400 - 3, 2400 - 95, 2400 - 144 etc
but it cannot be less that 2400 - 155.
It cannot be 2400 - 156
Hence population can fish in lake can be between 2400 - 155 and 2400 + 155
minimum population of fish in lake = 2400 - 155 = 2245
maximum population of fish in lake = 2400 + 155 = 2555
An engineering study indicates that 8.5% of the bridges in a large state are structurally deficient. The state's department of transportation randomly samples 100 bridges. What is the probability that exactly 6 bridges in the sample are structurally deficient
Answer:
[tex]P(X=6)=(100C6)(0.085)^6 (1-0.085)^{100-6}=0.1063[/tex]
Then the probability that exactly 6 bridges in the sample are structurally deficient is 0.1063 or 10.63%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable of interest "number of bridges in the sample are structurally deficient", on this case we now that:
[tex]X \sim Binom(n=100, p=0.085)[/tex]
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]
And we want to find this probability:
[tex] P(X=6)[/tex]
And if we use the probability mass function and we replace we got:
[tex]P(X=6)=(100C6)(0.085)^6 (1-0.085)^{100-6}=0.1063[/tex]
Then the probability that exactly 6 bridges in the sample are structurally deficient is 0.1063 or 10.63%
Consider the next 1000 98% CIs for μ that a statistical consultant will obtain for various clients. Suppose the data sets on which the intervals are based are selected independently of one another. How many of these 1000 intervals do you expect to capture the corresponding value of μ?
Answer:
980 intervals.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each interval, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it captures the population mean, or it does not. One interval is independent of other intervals. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
98% confidence interval
Has a 98% probability of capturing the population mean, so [tex]p = 0.98[/tex]
1000 intervals
This means that [tex]n = 1000[/tex]
How many of these 1000 intervals do you expect to capture the corresponding value of μ?
[tex]E(X) = np = 1000*0.98 = 980[/tex]

(fog)(x) means that we have the function f(x) evaluated in the function g(x), or f(g(x)).
So, if f(x) = x^3 + 1 and g(x) = x - 2.
we have:
a) (fog)(0) = f(g(0)) = (0 - 2)^3 + 1 = -8 + 1 = -7
b) (gof)(0) = g(f(0)) = (0^3 + 1) - 2 = -1
c) (fof)(1) = f(f(1)) = (1^3 + 1)^3 + 1 = 2^3 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9
d) (gog)(1) = g(g(1)) = (1 - 2) - 2 = -1 -2 = -3
PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP sally drives for 2 hours at an average speed of 70 m/h. she then drives for half an hour at an average speed of 40 m/h work ot the total distance that sally has travelled
Answer:
Total Distance = 160 m
Average speed = 64 m/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
For first 2 hours:
Distance = Speed × Time
D = 70 × 2
D = 140 m
For the next half hour:
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 40 × 0.5
Distance = 20 m
Now total Distance:
Total Distance = 140+20
Total Distance = 160 m
After that,
Average Speed = Total Distance Covered/ Total Time taken
Average Speed = 160 m / 2.5 hours
Average speed = 64 m/hr
All applicants for admission to graduate study in business are given a standardized test. Scores are normally distributed with a mean of 460 and standard deviation of 80. What fraction of applicants would you expect to have scores of 600 or above
Answer:
The probability that applicants would you expect to have scores of 600 or above = 0.0401 or 4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:-
Let "x" Scores are normally distributed
Given mean of the Population = 460
standard deviation of the population = 80
Let X = 600
[tex]Z = \frac{x -mean}{S.D} = \frac{600-460}{80} =1.75[/tex]
The probability that applicants would you expect to have scores of 600 or above
P( X≥600) = P( Z≥ 1.75)
= 1- P( Z≤1.75)
= 1- ( 0.5 + A(1.75)
= 1- 0.5 - A(1.75)
= 0.5 - 0.4599 (from Normal table)
= 0.0401
The probability that applicants would you expect to have scores of 600 or above = 0.0401 or 4%
