We can use Law of Cosines to solve for the angle of Z. The solution is shown below:
cos C=(a²+b²-c²)/2ab
cos Z = (yz² + xz² - xy² )/2*yz*xz
cos Z = (20² + 25  - 13²)/2*20*25
cos Z = 856 / 1000
Z=31.13°

The answer is angle 31.13°.

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

or

m = \frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}

or

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

or

$950 = $700 + c

or

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

D) a chi square test for independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we  suspect that automobile insurance premiums (in dollars) may be steadily decreasing with the driver's driving experience (in years), so we choose a random sample of drivers who have similar automobile insurance coverage and collect data about their ages and insurance premiums.

We are to check whether two variables insurance premiums and driving experience are associated.

Two categorical variables are compared for different ages and insurance premiums.

Hence a proper test would be

D) a chi square test for independence.

What method would you choose to solve the equation 2x2 – 7 = 9? Explain why you chose this method.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

I would add 7 to get ...

... 2x² = 16

then divide by 2 to get

... x² = 8

Now, I would take the square root, recognizing that both positive and negative values will solve the problem.

... x = ±√8

The root can be simplified, so we have ...

... x = ±2√2

_____

The above method seemed the most obvious method to me. One could use the quadratic formula, but that seems to involve more operations.

... 2x² -16 = 0 . . . . subtract 9

... x = (-0 ± √(0² -4·2·(-16)))/(2·2) . . . . put the coefficients into the formula

... x = ±(√128)/4 = ±√8 = ±2√2 . . . . . simplify the result

In a circle, a chord of 50 cm bisects a chord of 40 cm. Find the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord.
Andreyy89

Answer:

<u>The length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = 40</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = x

so, the other segment = 50 - x

A chord of 50 cm bisects a chord of 40 cm

using the Intersecting Chords Theorem

so, x(50-x) = 20 * 20

50x - x² = 400

x² - 50x + 400 = 0

(x - 40)(x - 10) = 0

x = 40 or x = 10

<u>So, the the length of the longer segment of the 50 cm chord = 40</u>

A bucket of ice cream measures 8 inches tall and has a diameter of 12 inches. What is the volume of the bucket of ice cream? (Us
Setler79 [48]
904.32 inches cubed because if you start off with the formula of the circle ( pie r squared) then 6 times 6 ( because the diameter 12 divided by 2 for radius 6) equals 36 now multiply it with pie(3.14) equals to 113.04. Last multiply it by height 8 and you will get 904.32.
