Part 1:

Given that triangle EFG is similar to triangle LMN, this means that the ratio of the measures of any two sides of triangle EFG is equal to the ratio of the measures of the corresponding sides of triangle LMN.

From the figure shown

FG / EG = MN / LN
⇒ 4 / 7 = 2 / LN
⇒ LN = 7 * 2 / 4 = 14 / 4 = 3.5

Therefore, LN = 3.5

Part 2:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

Thus, if m∠A = m∠D. The other fact that would guarantee that the triangles are similar is that m∠C = m∠F.

This is because if m∠A = m∠D and m∠C = m∠F, then m∠B = m∠E and thus satisfies the triangle similarity condition.

Part 3:

Given that the two triangles shown are congruent, one way to verify that the corresponding angles of the two triangles are congruent is to place one of the triangle on top of the other to see if the corresponding angles of both triangles coincide.

This can be achieved by translating triangle 2 up by 2 units, and to the left by 6 units.

Part 4:

Given that trapezoid ABCD and trapezoid JKLM are similar.

From the naming of the trapezoids, the order of the naming of any similar object corresponds to the order of their similarity.

Thus, side AB corresponds to side JK, side AC corresponds to side JL and so on.

Therefore, the side that corresponds to side AB is side JK.

Joe hypothesizes that the students of an elite school will score higher than the general population. He records a sample mean eq

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The test to be used is the right tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of test joe should do would be a right tailed test. This is because;

A right tailed test which we sometimes call an upper test is where the hypothesis statement contains the greater than (>) symbol. This means that, the inequality points to the right. For example, we want to compare the the life of batteries before and after a manufacturing change.

If we want to know if the battery life of maybe 90 hours would be greater than the original, then our hypothesis statements might be:

Null hypothesis: (H0 = 90).

Alternative hypothesis: (H1) > 90.

In the null hypothesis, there are no changes, but in the alternative hypothesis, the battery life in hours has increased.

So, the most important factor here is that the alternative hypothesis (H1) is what determines if we have a right tailed test, not the null hypothesis.

Thus, the test to be used is the right tailed test.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Carbon-14 loses around 10% ( 0.1 in decimal form) of its mass, after one millennium.

Then if we start with a mass A of Carbon-14, after one millennium we will have a mass equal to:

A - A*0.1 = A*(0.9)

After another millennium, we will have a mass equal to:

A*(0.9) - A*(0.9)*0.1 = A*(0.9)^2

And so on, this is an exponential decay.

We already can see the pattern here, after x millenniums, the mass of carbon-14 will be:

M(x) = A*(0.9)^x

Now, in this problem we have 600 grams of carbon-14, then the equation for the mass will be:

y = M(x) = 600g*(0.9)^x

And the graph of this equation is shown below.

a bicycle wheel has a diameter of 40 cm how many revolutions would a wheel make if the bike travels 1 km pi=3.14 (answer please

andriy [413]

Circumference of a circle = Diameter × pi
Circumference of a circle = 40 cm × 3.14
Circumference of the wheel = 125.6 cm

1 Km = 1000m
Circumference of the wheel × 1000m = The number of revolutions
125.6 × 1000m = 125600

The wheel would make 125600 revolutions if the bike travels 1 km.
