Answer:

The length of side st is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent is a straigth line that touches a circle externally at a point on the circumference. Considering one of its properties that tangents from the same point to a fixed point outside a circle are equal.

Then,

     /rn/ = /rp/

    /tm/ = /tn/

   /sm/ = /sp/

But, /rp/ = 7, /rt/ = 17 and /sm/ = 5.

Then,

 /rt/ = /rn/ + /tn/

17 = 7 + /tn/ (∵ /rp/ = /rn/ = 7)

⇒ /tn/ = 10

Since /nt/ = 10, then /tm/ = 10 (/tm/ = /nt/)

So that,

 /st/ = /sm/ + /tm/

     = 5 +10

 /st/ = 15

The length of side st is 15.

Answer:

a) 42°F < x < 176°F

b) The inequality graph is attached.

c) No, This is because at 20° F benzene would not be in liquid form but in solid form.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

a) For the benzene to remain in liquid form, the temperature of benzene must be less than the boiling point and greater than the boiling point. Let x be the temperature of benzene, For benzene to remain as liquid, its temperature must be between:

42°F < x < 176°F

b) The inequality graph is attached. The graph shows that the temperature of benzene must be between 42°F and 176°F so that it would be a liquid. The Closed circles represent that it is greater than 2.

c) No, This is because at 20° F benzene would not be in liquid form but in solid form. Because the temperature cannot go below 42 before it freezes, she would not have been able to conduct her research .

What is the true solution to l n 20 + l n 5 = 2 l n x x = 5 x = 10 x = 50 x = 100
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

l n 20 + l n 5 = 2 l n x

ln (20×5) = ln x²

ln(100) = lnx²

100 = x²

x = +/- 10

Since logs of negative numebrs don't exist, we reject -10

) for a particular diamond mine, 77% of the diamonds fail to qualify as "gemstone grade". a random sample of 112 diamonds is ana
sweet [91]

We use the z statistic:

z = (x – u) / s

 

But first let us calculate the standard deviation s, sample x and mean u.

s = sqrt (n p q)

s = sqrt (112 * 0.77 * (1 – 0.77))

s = 4.45

 

x = 0.81 * 112 = 90.72

 

u = 0.77 * 112 = 86.24

 

So the z score is:

z = (90.72 – 86.24) / 4.45

z = 1.00

 

From the standard tables, the P value at z = 1.00 using right tailed test is:

<span>P = 0.1587 = 15.87%</span>

What is the area of the composite figure whose vertices have the following coordinates? (−2, −2) , (3, −2) , (5, −4) , (1, −8) ,
svet-max [94.6K]
Area of a rectangle = W X L
Area of a rectangle = 5 X 2
Area of a rectangle = 10

Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X B X H
Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X 2 X 2
Area of triangle 1= 1/2 X 4
Area of triangle 1= 2

Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X B X H
Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X 7 X 4
Area of triangle 2= 1/2 X 28
Area of triangle 2= 14

Area of a rectangle + Area of triangle 1 + Area of triangle 2=

10 + 2 + 14 = 36
