Option A. The set of side measurement that can be used to form a triangle is given as A. 13, 19, 7

What is a triangle?

A triangle in geometry is a three-sided polygon with three edges and three vertices. The fact that a triangle's internal angles add up to 180 degrees is its most crucial characteristic. This characteristic is known as the triangle's angle sum property.

If ABC is a triangle, it is written as ABC, where A, B, and C represent the triangle's vertices. In Euclidean geometry, a triangle is a two-dimensional shape that is represented by three non-collinear points in a single plane.

How to get the measurement that can produce a triangle.

a + b > c  = 13 + 19 > 7

a + c > b  =  13 + 7 > 19

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. after 11 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 19.4 centimeters. after 23 hours of burning, its height is 12.2 centimeters. what is the height of the candle after 15 hours?

Answers

The height of the candle after 15 hours of burning is 17 cm.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

Height of the candle after 11 hours of burning = 19.4 cm

Height of the candle after 23 hours of burning = 12.2 cm

Now, we will find the rate at which the height of the candle is decreasing. It means that we will find the decrease in height per centimeter.

Difference between hours and height:

23-11 = 12 hours

19.4-12.2 = 7.2 cm

So, we have:

12 hours = 7.2 cm

1 hour = 7.2/12

1 hour = 0.6 cm

So, the height is decreasing at the rate of 0.6 cm per hour.

Now, we have to find the height after 15 hours.

Height at 11 hours = 19.4 cm

Difference between 15 hours and 11 hours is 4 hours.

Change in height = 0.6*4 cm

Decrease in height = 2.4 cm

So, the height after 15 hours:

19.4-2.4

17 cm

Hence, the height of the candle after 15 hours of burning is 17 cm.

What is counting principle?

A rule used to count the entire number of alternative outcomes in a circumstance is known as the fundamental counting principle. It claims that if there are n ways to do something and m ways to do something else after that, then there are n m n*m methods to do both of these acts.

Here,

(1) All prime number can take any of three colors, except one of 2 or 3 as both are connected via 6..

so 2, 5, 7 can have 3 ways each - 3*3*3 = 27 ways

(2) Let us take the multiples of 2..

4 can take any of the remaining 2 colors, while 8 would take the remaining colour. As like 4, 6 can also take any of 2 colors other than the colour of integer 2.

Thus 2*2*1=4

3 is restricted because of 6, so it cannot have the same color as 6 and therefore 3 can have any of the remaining 2 colors.

We could also have taken 3 colors for 6, and then 2 and 3 would have 2 colors each and overall 2*2*3.. We are still getting the same

Only integer left is 9, so it will take any of the 2 colors other than that of 3, so 2 ways..

Total 2*2=4

Combined way of  integers = 27∗4∗4=432 ways

here , x is the age of Dion .

we see , pam is five years younger than Dion , so

age of Pam = x - 5

Now as the sum of all the ages = 5x - 99

therefore ,

Age of Dion + Age of Pan + Age of children = 5x - 99

x + x - 5 + Age of children = 5x - 99

Two planes are parallel and each plane contains a line. Are the two lines skew? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

If Two planes are parallel and each plane contains a line, the two lines are  not skew because In the event that any two lines fall on a single plane, they will either intersect or be parallel to one another. Both instances violate the concept of a skew line because the skew lines are neither parallel nor intersect.

Do two parallel lines on a plane have a skew?

Infinitely many lines cross through, yet only one of them is parallel to. Lines that never intersect and are in distinct planes are known as skew lines. Parallel lines and skew lines are distinguished by the fact that they both reside in the same plane, whereas skew lines do not.

The two lines would overlap at some point if the two planes on which they are located weren't parallel, which again defies the definition of skew lines.

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 10 inches more than the perimeter of a square, and the side of the triangle is 6 inches longer than the side of the square. Find the side of the triangle. (Hint: An equilateral triangle has three sides the same length.)

Answers

Answer:

The side of the triangle is 14 in

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

Let the sides be t for triangle and s for square.

Difference of perimeters

3t = 4s + 10

Difference of sides

t = s + 6

Rearrange the second equation

s = t - 6

Substitute this into first equation and solve for t

3t = 4s + 103t = 4(t - 6) + 103t = 4t - 24 + 103t = 4t - 144t - 3t = 14t = 14

Answer:

14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths of an equilateral triangle are the congruent.

The side lengths of a square are the congruent.

Let x be the length of one side of the equilateral triangle.

⇒ Perimeter of triangle = 3x

Let y be the length of one side of the square.

⇒ Perimeter square = 4y

Given:

The perimeter of the triangle is 10 inches more than the perimeter of the square.The side of the triangle is 6 inches longer than the side of the square.

Create a system of equations with the given information and defined variables:

[tex]\begin{cases}3x = 4y + 10\\x = y + 6\end{cases}[/tex]

Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for y:

[tex]\implies 3(y+6)=4y+10[/tex]

[tex]\implies 3y+18=4y+10[/tex]

[tex]\implies 18=y+10[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=8[/tex]

Therefore, the side length of the square is 8 inches.

Substitute the found value of y into the second equation and solve for x:

[tex]\implies x=8+6[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=14[/tex]

Therefore, the side length of the triangle is 14 inches.

Answers

a) The mean distribution is 5.295.

b) The standard deviation is 0.1026

c) The probability that the child will be older than 5 years old is 0.7657

d) The probability that the child's age is between 4.84 and 5.34 is  0.4504

e) At the 9th percentile, the age of the child is 5.739 years old.

Given interval distribution is

4.74 - 5.85.

a) Firstly, we will find the mean distribution,

Mean distribution = Sum of intervals / Number of intervals

= 4.74+5.85 / 2

= 5.295.

Hence, the mean distribution is 5.295.

b) Now, we will find the standard deviation,

We use the formula:

SD = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2} }{12} }[/tex]

b = 5.85

a = 4.74

SD = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(5.85-4.74)^{2} }{12} }[/tex]

SD = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(1.11)^{2} }{12} }[/tex]

SD = 0.1026

Hence, the standard deviation is 0.1026

c) The probability that the child will be older than 5 years will be

p(older than 5) = 5.85 - 5 / 5.85 - 4.74

= 0.85 / 1.11

= 0.7657

Hence, the probability that the child will be older than 5 years old is 0.7657

d) The probability that the child will be between 4.84 and 5.34 years old will be

p(between 4.84 and 5.34) = 5.34 - 4.84 / 5.85 - 4.74

= 0.5 / 1.11

= 0.4504

Hence, the probability that the child's age is between 4.84 and 5.34 is  0.4504

e) If the child is at the 9th percentile, the age will be

At the 9th percentile = 4.74 + 9/100 ×(5.85 - 4.74)

= 4.74 +(0.9)(1.11)

= 4.74 + 0.999

= 5.739

Hence, at the 9th percentile, the age of the child is 5.739 years old.

Answers

The compound interest calculated for 10 years annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, and daily are (a) $2195.05,  (b) $2206.18  (c) $2211.88 (d) $2215.75, and, (e) $2217.63

The formula for Compound Interest is

Amount = Principal X (1 + r/n100)ⁿˣ

where,

Principal = original mount

n = no. of times the interest is applied

t = time period

Here,

Principal = $1400

x = 10

r = 4.6

a)

Since it is compounded annually, the interest will be given 10 times in 10 years. therefore, once a year

Hence,

n = 1

Amount = 1400 X (1 + 4.6/100)¹⁰

= 1400 X (104.6/100)¹⁰

= 1400 X (1.046)¹⁰

= $2195.05

b)

Since the interest is compounded semi-annually here, it will be calculated twice a year.

Hence, n = 2

Therefore we get

Amount = 1400 X (1 + 4.6/200)²⁰

= 1400 X (204.6/200)²⁰

= 1400 X (1.023)²⁰

= $2206.18

c)

Since it is compounded 4 times a year now,

n = 4

Hence we get

Amount = 1400 X (1 + 4.6/400)⁴⁰

= 1400 X (1.0115)⁴⁰

= $2211.88

d)

Here, the interest is calculated 12 times a year

Hence we get

Amount = 1400 X (1 + 4.6/1200)¹²⁰

= 1400 X (10038)¹²⁰

= $2215.75

e)

Here we are told to ignore leap years, hence we are only going to consider a year to have 365 days.

Hence,

n = 365

Therefore, we get

Amount = 1400 X (1 + 4.6/36500)³⁶⁵⁰

= 1400 X (1 + 4.6/36500)³⁶⁵⁰

= 1400 X (1.00012)³⁶⁵⁰

= $2217.63

What are the features of a quadratic function?

The first feature of the function on the problem is when it is increasing, and the definition is that it is increasing when the graph of the function is moving to the right and up on the graph, that is, when x increases, y also increases.

It is decreasing when it is moving right and down. Hence, a quadratic function increases until it's vertex, so for item 1, we want a function that is concave down, as it is increasing and then decreasing, and does the turn at x = 1, which is the third function on the second row.

The maximum and minimum points are given at the turning points, as follows:

Maximum: concave up parabola.Minimum: concave down parabola.

flaws in a carpet tend to occur randomly and independently at a rate of one every 270 square feet. what is the probability that a carpet that is 7 feet by 12 feet contains no flaws?

Answers

The probability that a carpet that is 7 ft × 12 ft contains no flaws is 0.732  

What is the Poisson Distribution Formula?

The Normal, Binomial, and Poisson Distributions are the three types of continuous and discrete data-based distributions used in probability and statistics. The distribution of unusual occurrences is another name for the Poisson distribution. This is mostly used to forecast the likelihood of future events based on how frequently the past events occurred. It offers the chance that a specific number of events might happen during a particular time frame.

The formula for Poisson distribution is given below:

       P(x) = (e^-x * m^x) / x!  

Here we have,

flaws in a carpet tend to occur randomly and independently at a rate of one every 270 square feet  

Given the dimensions of carpet = 7 feet × 12 feet  

=> area of the carpet = 84 feet²

=> the expected mean of defects m = [1/270]*84 = 0.311

Now use the Poisson formula  

P[x] = e^-m × m^x / x!

=> P(x = 0) = e^-(0.31) × 0.31^(0) / 0!

= (0.732 × 1)/1 = 0.732

Therefore,

The probability that a carpet that is 7 ft × 12 ft contains no flaws is 0.732

each day for four days, linda traveled for one hour at a speed that resulted in her traveling one mile in an integer number of minutes. each day after the first, her speed decreased so that the number of minutes to travel one mile increased by 5 minutes over the preceding day. each of the four days, her distance traveled was also an integer number of miles. what was the total number of miles for the four trips

Answers

The total number of miles for the four trips is 25 miles.

Given that;

Linda traveled for one hour each day for four days at a speed that made her cover one mile in an even number of minutes. After the first day, she started to lose speed, and it took her 5 minutes longer to complete a mile than the day before. Her journey distance was also an integer amount of miles throughout the four days.

We know that,

Distance is a product of speed and time. We need to find the distance here with the use of the given conditions, time is 1 hour.

Speed = Distance / Time

Hence, speed is 1 mile per x minutes because we want to distance by multiplying the time and speed together yielding 60 min * 1 mile / x mins.

Minutes cancel out, so now we have 60/x as our distance for the first day.

The distance for the given case;

⇒ [tex]\frac{60}{x},\frac{60}{x+5},\frac{60}{x+10},\frac{60}{x+15}[/tex]

It is given that x = 5;

⇒ [tex]\frac{60}{5},\frac{60}{10},\frac{60}{15},\frac{60}{20}[/tex]

= 12 + 6 + 4 + 3

= 25

The total number of miles for the four trips is 25 miles.

The steps and reason to prove the angle theorems is; Table 3

What is the proof of the angles in the triangle?

The internal angles of the given triangle are given as;

a, b, c and d.

Now, we know that the sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180°;

∠a + ∠b + ∠c = 180°

Now, ∠c and ∠d are angles that form a straight line and as such they sum up to 180° as they are supplementary angles.

∠c + ∠d = 180°

Thus, by transitive properties, we can say that;

∠a + ∠b + ∠c = ∠c + ∠d

Therefore by subtraction property of equality we have;

∠a + ∠b = ∠d
