Answer 2

Given the five number summary, christina has scored 70 marks which is equal to the median of the test scores, therefore about [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] class scored higher than her and  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] class scored lower than her, making option (d) correct.

The five number summary is the descriptive summary of a data where in you are provided the lowest observation, first quartile, median, third quartile and the maximum observation.

Here, the first quartile is the observation which lies at a point in the ordered data that 25% observations are lesser than it and 75% are greater than it.

the median is the observation which lies at a point in the ordered data that 50% observations are lesser than it and 50% are greater than it.

the third quartile is the observation which lies at a point in the ordered data that 75% observations are lesser than it and 25% are greater than it.

As given in the data,

Christina's marks = 70

median marks = 70

christina's marks = median marks

therefore, by definition of median, about half class scored lower than christina and half more than her.

v is the midpoint of RU and T is the midpoint of SU If RS=w and TV=w–23, what is the value of w?

Answers

Answer:

w = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

V is the midpoint of RU, so VU = 1/2 RUT is the midpoint of SU, so UT = 1/2 SU

And we have:

RS = w, or RU + SU = w

Also we have:

TV = w - 23,

or substitute as above given:

VU + UT = w - 231/2 RU + 1/2 SU = w - 231/2 (RU + SU) = w - 231/2 w = w - 23w - 1/2 w = 231/2 w = 23w = 23*2w = 46

Answer:

Determine the numerical value that will appear

The question seem incomplete; however, I'll give a general explanation

FIrst, when the formula is copied from C5 to C6, A2 and C2 changes to A3 and C3 respectively.

This is because they are relative references and they behave on a relative position.

This implies that, when the formula is in cell C5, the formula considers cells A2 and C2 when executing the formula;

10. A local park is located on a triangular piece of land. What is the area of the park to the nearest tenth? (1 point) S 75 m 40° R 150 m T Area = m2​

Answers

Answer:

Area equals to 3615.7

Step-by-step explanation:

So first in order to get the area of the triangle you need to have it’s height and base. We know the base is 150m(you can choose another base too), and we need to get the height.

In order to get the height we can see the triangle as two right triangle spreaded by the height. Now looking at the right triangle at the left hand, realized this triangle has a 40, a 90 degree angle and a side of 75.

Next using the law of sines, and plot the numbers in:

a = b(sinα/sinβ)=75(sin(40°)/sin(90°))≈48.20907

Now calculat the area;

Area = 1/2 bh = 1/2 (150x48.20907) ≈ 3615.6765

Joey's pizza sells large cheese pizzas for $12.00. Each additional topping costs $0.50. Basketball Boosters bought 12 large pizzas, each with 3 toppings. There are 8 slices per pizza. How much does it cost per slice? Round to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

169 cent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of large pizza = $12

Cost of additional topping = $0.5

Number of large pizza purchased = 12

topping per large pizza = 3

Amount paid for each pizza :

(cost of pizza) + (3 * cost of topping)

($12) + (3*$0.5)

($12 + $1.5) = $13.5

Total cost of pizza:

Number of pizzas bought * cost per pizza

12 * $13.5 = $162

Number of slices per pizza = 8

Total slices = 12 * 8 = 96 slices of pizza

Cost per slice :

Total cost / total slices

$162 / 96 = $1.6875

= $1.69 = 169 cent

x = 3sqrt(2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

The two legs are equal, x

x^2 + x^2 = 3^2

2x^2 = 9

Divide each side by 2

x^2 = 9/2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(9/2)

x = sqrt(9)/ sqrt(2)

x = 3 / sqrt(2)

x = 3 sqrt(2) / sqrt(2)*sqrt(2)

x = 3sqrt(2)/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean triple for a 45-45-90 triangle, which this is BTW is, in terms of the pattern: (x, x, x√2) where each x is the length of a side across from a 45 degree angle and x√2 is the side length across from the 90 degree angle (this side is also known as the hypotenuse). If the hypotenuse is 3 units long, and the pattern for the hypotenuse is x√2, we can solve for x, the sides across from the 45 degree angles, by setting 3 equal to its pattern for the hypotenuse:

what is the perimeter of the rhombus ?

Answers

Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hypotenuse length of one of the sides of this rhombus we have to use the pythagoram theorem.

if you make the point (1,0) the origin, we can see that it forms a triangle, with a base of 3, and a height of 4, next to the BE line.

a^2+b^2=c^2

9+16=c^2

25=c^2

c=5

if each diagnol length is 5 units long, the perimeter is

20 units.

Answer:

20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the perimeter of a rhombus = 4a.

Meaning all sides multiplied by 4

The point (1,0) is made A.

From D to F is 8 units, and from E to G is 6 units. Half of 6 is 3, and half of 8 is 4.

Imagine a right-angled triangle on one side of the rhombus(eg. ∆GAD), meaning that you'll have to find the hypotenuse.

*Use Pythagoras Theorem*

x² = 3² + 4²

x² = 9 + 16

x = √25

x = 5

The perimeter of the rhombus if one side is 5 units:

5 units × 4 sides = 20 units.

Answers

Part (a)

BC = opposite side (furthest leg from the reference angle)

AB = adjacent side (closest leg from the reference angle)

AC = hypotenuse (always opposite the 90 degree angle)

=============================================

Part (b)

i. False. Angle B is 90 degrees as shown by the square angle marker.

ii. False. Side AB is opposite angle C. Note how "C" is part of "BC", so that means we cannot have BC be opposite C.

iii. True. Leg AB is the closer leg to angle A. We have "A" in "AB" to see this without having to draw the diagram. Refer to part (a) above.

iv. False. The longest side of any right triangle is always the hypotenuse. The longest side of any triangle is always opposite the largest angle.

==============================================

Part (c)

cos(theta) = adjacent/hypotenuse = AB/AC

tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent = BC/AB

Refer back to part (a) to determine the opposite,adjacent and hypotenuse side lengths.

==============================================

Part (d)

The reference angle has changed, so the opposite and adjacent sides swap. The hypotenuse remains the same regardless of what reference angle you pick.

sin(C) = opposite/hypotenuse = AB/AC

cos(C) = adjacent/hypotenuse = BC/AC

tan(C) = opposite/adjacent = AB/BC

Note the tangent ratio is the reciprocal of what we found back in part (c).

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The hypotenuse is on line CA (the hypotenuse is always opposite the 90° angle (marked by a little square))

The adjacent is on the line BA (adjacent is next to the given angle, but NOT the hypotenuse)

The opposite is on the line CB (this is opposite the given angle)

(b)

i.   false (b is a right angle)

ii.  false (the side opposite C is BA)

iii. true

iv. false (the side opposite B is the hypotenuse, and the hypotenuse is always the longest side in a triangle)

(c)

cosine ratio: [tex]cos=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

tangent ratio: [tex]tan=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

The cosine and tangent ratios of the given angle:

[tex]cos0=\frac{AB}{CA} \\\\tan0=\frac{CB}{AB}[/tex]

(d)

Solve the triangle. A = 51°, b = 14, c = 6

Answers

Answer:  a = 11.24    B = 75.5°       C = 53.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Law of Cosines to find a: a² = b² + c² - 2bc · cos A

Given: b = 14, c = 6, A = 51°

a² = (14)² + (6)² - 2(14)(6) · cos 51°

a² = 196 + 36 - 168 · cos 51°

a² = 232 - 105.72

a² = 126.27

a = 11.24

Use Law of Sines to find B: [tex]\dfrac{\sin A}{a}=\dfrac{\sin B}{b}[/tex]

Given: A = 51°, a = 11.24, b = 14

[tex]\dfrac{\sin 51^o}{11.24}=\dfrac{\sin B}{14}\\\\\\\dfrac{14\sin51^o}{11.24}=\sin B\\\\\\\sin^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{14\sin51^o}{11.24}\bigg)=B\\\\\\75.5^0=B[/tex]

Use Triangle Sum Theorem to find C: A + B + C = 180°

Given: A = 51°, B = 75.5°

51° + 75.5° + C = 180°

126.5° + C = 180°

             C = 53.5°

A coordinate geometry is a branch of geometry where the position of the points on the plane is defined with the help of an ordered pair of numbers also known as coordinates.

We have to find the midpoint of the line joining the two points (2, 4) and (2, -9)

Midpoint = (x₁+x₂/2, y₁+y₂/2)

x₁ = 2, y₁=4, x₂ =2 and y₂ = -9

We have to plug in the values in the above formula

Midpoint = (2+2/2, 4-9/2)

Midpoint = (6/2, -5/2)

=(2, -5/2)

Hence, the midpoint of the  vertical line segment in the graph is (2, -5/2)
