The rhombus has four equal sides

10s - 16 = 9s + 29
10s - 9s = 29 + 16
s = 45

BC = CD = 10s-16 = 10*45 - 16 = 434

Step 1

Find the value of s

we know that

In a Rhombus all sides are congruent

$AB=BC=CD=DA$

$AB=9s+29\\CD=10s-16$

equate AB and CD

$9s+29=10s-16\\$

Combine like term

$10s-9s=29+16\\$

$s=45\ units$

The answer Part a) is

the value of s is $45\ units$

Step 2

Find the value of side AB

$AB=9s+29$

substitute the value of s

$AB=9*45+29=434\ units$

Remember that the sides are congruent

$AB=BC=CD=DA$

therefore

the answer Part b) is

The length of the side BC is $434\ units$

Two numbers are randomly selected on a number line numbered from 1 to 9. Match each scenario to its probability.

Talja [164]

Answer:

1/9; 4/9; 1/12; 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability that both numbers are greater than 6 if the same number can be chosen twice--> 3/9 * 3/9 = 1/9

the probability that both numbers are less than 7 if the same number can be chosen twice --> 6/9 * 6/9 = 4/9

the probability that both numbers are odd numbers less than 6 if the same numbers cannot be chosen twice --> 3/9 * 2/8 = 1/12

the probability that both numbers are even numbers if the same numbers cannot be chosen twice --> 4/9 * 3/8 = 1/6

A study was performed on green sea turtles inhabiting a certain area. Time-depth recorders were deployed on 6 of the 76 capture

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

One can be 99% confident the true mean shell length lies within the above interval.

The population has a relative frequency distribution that is approximately normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Time-depth recorders were deployed on 6 of the 76 captured turtles. These 6 turtles had a mean shell length of 51.3 cm and a standard deviation of 6.6 cm.

The pivotal quantity for a 99% confidence interval for the true mean shell length is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean shell length = 51.3 cm

s = sample standard deviation = 6.6 cm

n = sample of turtles = 6

$\mu$ = true mean shell length

Now, the 99% confidence interval for $\mu$ = $\bar X \pm t_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Here, $\alpha$ = 1% so $(\frac{\alpha}{2})$ = 0.5%. So, the critical value of t at 0.5% significance level and 5 (6-1) degree of freedom is 4.032.

So, 99% confidence interval for $\mu$ = $51.3 \pm 4.032 \times \frac{6.6}{\sqrt{6} }$

= [51.3 - 10.864 , 51.3 + 10.864]

= [40.44 cm, 62.16 cm]

The interpretation of the above result is that we are 99% confident that the true mean shell length lie within the above interval of [40.44 cm, 62.16 cm].

The assumption about the distribution of shell lengths must be true in order for the confidence interval, part a, to be valid is that;

C. The population has a relative frequency distribution that is approximately normal.

This assumption is reasonably satisfied as the data comes from the whole 76 turtles and also we don't know about population standard deviation.

Mr. Peterson needs topsoil for his garden. His rectangular garden is 78 in long and 48 in wide. A bag of topsoil covers an area

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

3744 inches squared, and 8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Ⓗⓘ ⓣⓗⓔⓡⓔ

˜”*°•.˜”*°• Area: •°*”˜.•°*”˜

Well, the formula for area is L*W

L=78 inches

W=48 inches

78*48=3744 inches squared

˜”*°•.˜”*°• Number of bags: •°*”˜.•°*”˜

3744/500=7.448

So he would need to buy 8 bags

If tap and bre are supplementary and bre is its own complement, find the measure of tap. explain how you arrived at your answer

Pie

Supplementary angles are those whose sum is equal to 180° while those that are complementary are those whose sum is equal to 90°. Since, we are given that bre is the complement of itself, its measure can be calculated through the equation,
m∠bre + m∠bre = 90°
m∠bre = 45°

Then, for the relationship of bre and tap, we have the equation,
m∠bre + m∠tap = 180°
45° + m∠tap = 180°
m∠tap = 135°

The measure of tap is equal to 135°.
