Answer: the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles is 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = life expectancy of the brand of tire in miles.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 40000 miles

σ = 5000 miles

The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles

P(x = 47500)

For x = 47500,

z = (40000 - 47500)/5000 = - 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067

The net of a triangular prism is shown below. What is the surface area of the prism? A. 128 cm^2 B. 152 cm^2 C. 176 cm^2 D. 304
shtirl [24]

Answer:

B. 152 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area using a net, do this:

Take apart the figure. We see that there are three rectangles and two triangles. Find the area of each (A=l*w) and then add the values together:

The first rectangle on the left is the same as the one on the right.

5*8=40

Two measures are 40 cm².

The middle rectangle is:

6*8=48

48 cm²

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=\frac{1}{2}*b*h:

A=\frac{1}{2}*6*4\\\\A=\frac{1*6*4}{2}\\\\A=\frac{24}{2}\\\\ A=12

The area of the two triangles is 12 cm².

Now add the values:

40+40+48+12+12=152

The area of the figure is 152 cm².

Gary used landscape timbers to create a border around a garden shaped like a right triangle. The longest two timbers he used are
Cloud [144]

Answer:

9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The border of the garden is a right angled triangle.

Two lengths are given as 12 ft and 15 ft.

Let the length of the shortest timber be 'x' feet.

Now, in a right angled triangle, the longest length is called the hypotenuse.

As 15 feet is the largest length, it is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Now, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

(Leg1)^2+(Leg2)^2=(Hypotenuse)^2\\x^2+12^2=15^2\\x^2+144=225\\x^2=225-144\\x^2=81\\x=\pm \sqrt{81}=\pm 9

The negative value is neglected as length can never be negative.

Therefore, the length of the shortest timber is 9 feet.

As usual, draw a diagram. You can easily see that if you are x away from the wall, 

<span>the angle of elevation of the bottom of the screen (A) is </span>

<span>cotA = x/3 </span>
<span>A = arccot(x/3) </span>

<span>angle B to the top is </span>

<span>cotB = x/10 </span>
<span>B = arccot(x/10) </span>

<span>So, since θ = B-A </span>
<span>dθ/dt = dB/dt - dA/dt </span>
<span>= -3/(x^2+9) + 10/(x^2+100) </span>
<span>= 7(x^2-30)/((x^2+9)(x^2+100)) </span>
