A, use the Pythagorean theorem. A squared plus B squared equals C Squared, or A+B=C. In other words, 24 (Which is C) - 8 (Which is B)=16 (Which is A).

We use to compute this problem the following theorem:
Pythagoream theorem:

hypotenuse²=leg₁²+leg₂²

Data:
hypotenuse=24 in
leg₁=8 in
leg₂=?

<span>hypotenuse²=leg₁²+leg₂²
</span>(24 in)²=(8 in)²+ leg₂²
leg₂²=(24 in)²-(8 in)²
leg₂²=576 in²-64 in²
leg₂²=512 in²
leg₂=√(512 in²)≈22.63 in

Answer: C) 22.6 inches.

Kx + 3x = 4 solve for x.
victus00 [196]

Take out a common factor between 3x and kx. That means use the distributive law to get what you normally would start with.

x(k + 3) = 4

Now divide by k + 3

x = 4/(k + 3)

That's as much as you can do with this question.

The shorter sides of an acute triangle are x cm and 2x cm. The longest side of the triangle is 15 cm. What is the smallest possi
Ierofanga [76]
For an acute angled triangle 

h^2 < x^2 + y^2      where h = longest side and x and y are the other 2 sides.

so here we have

15^2 <  x^2 + (2x)^2

15^2 <  5x^2

x^2 >  15*3 = 45
x > sqrt 45 or x > 6.7

So smallest whole number value of  x is 7

​Jody, a statistics​ major, grows tomatoes in her spare time. She measures the diameters of each tomato. Assume the Normal model
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Zscore = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume a normal distribution, we mean that the diameters of each tomato follow a normal distribution. This is N~ (0,1).

By that, we mean that the mean (μ) = 0 and variance (\sigma^{2}) = 1. Thus, since we are told that one tomato was in the 50th percentile. This implies the median. And is 0.5. And if the distribution is normal, the mean and median and mode should be equal.

Thus:

==> Z score = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{0.5 - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{0.5-0}{1} = 0.5

The response variable is the one for which measurements are desired and that depends on other variables.

In this case, family size, household income, and household neighborhood are independent variables, while the response variable is the monthly household expenditures on groceries.
