Let the area of the original rectangle be A₁.

A₁ = (12 ft)(8 feet) = 96 ft²

To determine the area of the reduced triangle, let's compute the new dimensions first.

Length = 12 ft * 3/4 - 9 ft
Width = 8 ft *3/4 = 6 ft

Thus, the area of the new rectangle denoted as A₂ is
A₂ = (9 ft)(6 ft) = 54 ft

The ratio of the areas are:
A₂/A₁ = 54/96 = 9/16
The ratio of the sides are given to be 3/4.
Finally the ratios of the area to side would be:
Ratio = 9/16 ÷ 3/4 = 3/4

Therefore, the ratio of the areas is 3/4 of the ratio of the corresponding sides.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

h=50.25\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles </u>

In a right triangle, one of the internal angles is 90°. When this happens, there is always a longer side, called hypotenuse and two shorter sides, called legs. They relate to Pythagoras's theorem. The basic trigonometric relations also stand, including

\displaystyle tan\alpha=\frac{a}{c}

where a is the opposite leg to \alpha and c is its adjacent led .

In our problem, we have a statue being looked by a person in such a way that the top of the statue forms an angle of 8° with the horizontal and the base of the statue forms an angle of 14° down. We also know the distance from the person to the statue is 50 ft. The situation is shown in the image below.

The height of the statue is h=a+b, where

a=50tan8^o

b=50tan14^o

Thus

h=50tan8^o+50tan14^o

h=50(tan8^o+tan14^o)

\boxed{h=50.25\ ft}

Given a normal distribution with u = 75 and o = 40, if you select a sample of n = 16, a) what is the probability that the sample
Volgvan

Answer:

a) 0.0228

b) 94.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score when you are given a random.number of samples is z = (x-μ)/σ/√n

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation

n = random number of samples

Given a normal distribution with u = 75 and o = 40, if you select a sample of n = 16,

a) what is the probability that the sample mean is above 95? (4 d.p.) b)

= x = 95

Hence:

z = 95 - 75/40/√16

= 20/40/4

= 20/10

= 2

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<95) = 0.97725

P(x>95) = 1 - P(x<95) = 0.02275

The probability that the sample mean is above 95 to 4 decimal places = 0.0228

b) What is the value, of which there is 97.5% chance that a sample mean is less than that value?

97.5% chance = z score for the confidence interval = 1.96

Hence:

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n

1.96 = x - 75/40/√16

1.96 = x - 75/ 40/4

1.96 = x - 75/10

Cross Multiply

1.96 × 10 = x - 75

19.6 = x - 75

x = 19.6 + 75

x = 94.6

The value, of which there is 97.5% chance that a sample mean is less than that value is 94.6

What is the simplest form of RootIndex 3 StartRoot 27 a cubed b Superscript 7 Baseline EndRoot?
Vinvika [58]

Answer: 3ab\sqrt[3]{b^4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

\sqrt[3]{27a^3b^7}

You need to apply the Product of powers property, which states that:

(a^m)(a^n)=a^{(m+n)

Then, you can rewrite the expression as following:

=\sqrt[3]{27a^3b^4b^3}

The next step is to descompose 27 into its prime factors:

27=3*3*3=3^3

Now you must substitute 3^3 inside the given root. Then:

=\sqrt[3]{3^3a^3b^4b^3}

You need to remember that, according to Radicals properties:

\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a^{\frac{n}{n}}=a^1=a

Therefore, the final step is to apply this property in order to finally get the expression is its simplest form. This is:

=3^{\frac{3}{3}}a^{\frac{3}{3}}b^{\frac{4}{3}}b^{\frac{3}{3}}=3ab^{\frac{4}{3}}b=3ab\sqrt[3]{b^4}
