Answer

Find out the value of x .

To proof

SAS congurence property

In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal.

in the Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° (Linear pair)

as given in the diagram

∠CDA = 90°

∠ CDB = 180 ° - 90°

∠ CDB = 90°)

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congurent triangle)

As given

the length of AC is 2x and the length of BC is 3x - 5 .

2x = 3x - 5

3x -2x =5

x = 5

The value of x is 5 .

Hence proved

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We will prove the SAS congruence property

(In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal the, the two triangles are similar)

consider, Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( since, ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° )

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Hence, Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congruent triangle)

i.e. 2x = 3x - 5

3x -2x =5

x = 5

Hence, the value of x is 5

Let mAngleA = 40°. If AngleB is a complement of AngleA, and AngleC is a supplement of AngleB, find these measures. mAngleB = ° m

kati45 [8]

Answer:

B is 50° and C is 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

complementary angle

x+x=90°

40°+x=90°

x=90°-40°

x=50°

supplementary angles

x+x=180

50+x=180

x=180-50

x=30°

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (US EIA) reported that the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is $2.94. T

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a) 25

b) 67

c) 97

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample. In this problem, $\sigma = 0.25$

(a) The desired margin of error is $0.10.

This is n when M = 0.1. So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1 = 1.96*\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.25$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{19.6*0.25}{0.1}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{19.6*0.25}{0.1})^{2}$

$n = 24.01$

Rounding up to the nearest whole number, 25.

(b) The desired margin of error is $0.06.

This is n when M = 0.06. So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.06 = 1.96*\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.06\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.25$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{19.6*0.25}{0.06}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{19.6*0.25}{0.06})^{2}$

$n = 66.7$

Rounding up, 67

(c) The desired margin of error is $0.05.

This is n when M = 0.05. So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.05 = 1.96*\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.25$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{19.6*0.25}{0.05}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{19.6*0.25}{0.05})^{2}$

$n = 96.04$

Rounding up, 97

If 10a+10b=35, what is the average (arithmetic mean) of a and b?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If a and b are two numbers, then their arithmetic mean is

$\dfrac{a+b}{2}$

Given:

$10a+10b=35$

Divide this equation by 10:

$a+b=3.5$

Now, divide it by 2:

$\dfrac{a+b}{2}=\dfrac{3.5}{2}\\ \\\dfrac{a+b}{2}=1.75$

Which is equivalent to RootIndex 3 StartRoot 8 EndRoot Superscript x?

sergeinik [125]

Solving RootIndex 3 StartRoot 8 EndRoot Superscript x we get $=2^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equivalent to RootIndex 3 StartRoot 8 EndRoot Superscript x

Writing in mathematical form:

$(\sqrt[3]{8})^x$

Solving:

We know 8= 2x2x2= 2^3

and $\sqrt[3]{x}=x^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Applying these rules:

$=((2^3)^{\frac{1}{3}})^x$

$=(2^{\frac{3}{3}})^x\\$

$=2^x$

So, solving RootIndex 3 StartRoot 8 EndRoot Superscript x we get $=2^x$
