Three pieces of wood measure 20 cm, 41 cm and 44 cm. If the same amount is cut off each piece, the remaining lengths can be formed into a right triangle. What is the length that is cut off?

Answers

Answer 1

5 cm or 29 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x length is cut off from each measurements.

Thus, the new measurements would be: 20 - x, 41 - x, 44 - x, which forms the sides of a right triangle.

Here, (44 - x) will be hypotenuse and (20 - x) and (41 - x) will be perpendicular legs of the triangle.

Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem:

[tex] {(41 - x)}^{2} + {(20 - x)}^{2} = {(44 - x)}^{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: {(41)}^{2} - 82x + {x}^{2} + {(20)}^{2} - 40x + {x}^{2} \\ = {(44)}^{2} - 88x + {x}^{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: 1681 - 122x + 2 {x}^{2} + 400 \\ = 1936 - 88x + {x}^{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: 2081 - 122x + {x}^{2} = 1936 - 88x \\ \\ \therefore \: {x}^{2} - 122x + 88x + 2081 - 1936 = 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: {x}^{2} - 34x + 145 = 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: {x}^{2} - 29x - 5x+ 145 = 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: x(x - 29) - 5(x - 29) = 0 \\ (x - 5)(x - 29) = 0 \\ x - 5 = 0 \: or \: x - 29 = 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: x = 5, \: 29[/tex]

So, the length that is cut off will be either 5 cm or 29 cm.

A Triangular Park ABC has sides 120 m, 80m and 50m. a gardener has to put a fence all around it and also plant grass inside. How much area does she need to plant? Find the cost of fencing it with barbed wire at the rate of of Rs. 20 per metre leaving a space 3m wide for a gate on one side?​

Answers

The perimeter = sum of all sides

= 120 + 80 + 50

= 250

So 250 - 3

247

Left space for gate

Now cost of fencing = Rs 20/per meter

= 247 × 20

= Rs 4,940

Now the area of the triangular park can be found using heron's formula

S = (a+b+c)/2

S = (120+80+50)/2

S = 250/2

S = 125

Now

Herons formula = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

√125(125-120)(125-80)(120-50)

√125(5)(45)(70)

√5×5×5×5×5×3×3×5×14

After Making pairs

5×5×5×3√14

375√14

Therefore 375√14m is the area of the triangular park

A line of best fit predicts that when x equals 28, y will equal 27.255, but y actually equals 26. What is the residual in this case?
A. 0.745
B. -0.745
C. -1.255
D. 1.255​

Answers

Answer:

C) -1.255

Step-by-step explanation:

We are tasked to solve for the residual value given that when x equals 29, y will be equals to 27.255. But, when it is tested, y actual value is 26. The formula in solving residual is shown below:

Residual value = Observed value - predicted value

Residual value =  26 - 27.255

Residual values = -1.255

The answer is -1.255 for residual value.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel
to the line y = -5x - 9 and passes
through the point (-4,-9) Write the
equation in slope-intercept form.

Answers

A parallel line would contain the same slope and have a different y-intercept.

Using the slope of the original line you would start with:

Y = -5x + b, where b is the new y-intercept.

Using the given point replace x and y and solve for b:

-9 = -5(-4) + b

Simplify:

-9 = 20 + b

Subtract 20 from both sides

-29 = b

Now replace b in the equation to get:

Y = -5x -29

Suppose you pick three pieces of string from the bag at random and all pieces are equally likely to be chosen. What is the probability you can form a triangle with the three pieces

Answers

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 possible combinations of sticks that can be drawn from a group of 5 strings

 

5C3 = (5*4*3)/(3*2)   = 10 combinations, which are

1,3,5 ; 1,3,7 ; 1,3,9 ; 1,5,7 ; 1,5,9 ; 1,7,9 ; 3,5,7 ; 3,5,9 ; 3,7,9 ; 5,7,9

 

to make a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side and if you look at the possible combinations there are only three cases where that is true

 

so the probability for drawing three sticks that would make a triangle is 3/10 or 30%

Find he probability of no more than 35 defective CD's in a batch of 80 CD's if the probablility of any one CD being defective is 0.1.

Answers

Answer:

0.999999

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Probability of CD being defective, p = 0.1

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

Total number of CD's = number of trials = 80

Probability, that no more than 35 CD's are defective ;

The question satisfied the requirements for a binomial probability problem ;

Recall :

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

Hence,

P(x ≤ 35) = 80C35 * 0.1^35 * 0.9^(45)

-5 (k+4) > 2 - (3k+6)

Answers

I believe that the answer you are looking for is -8>k, or k<-8.

Solution/Explanation:

First, writing out the inequality,

-5(k+4) > 2-(3k+6)

Next, using the Distributive Property on both sides,

-5k-20 > 2-3k-6

Simplifying the right side just a little bit more,

-5k-20 > -3k-4

Adding 5k to both sides,

-5k+5k-20 > -3k+5k-4

-20 > 2k-4

Now, adding 4 to both sides,

-20+4 > 2k-4+4

-16 > 2k

Finally, dividing 2 from both sides,

So, therefore, the final answer is -8>k, or k<-8.
