ABC and ∆PQR are similar. ∆ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 1.25 and rotated 45° counterclockwise about point B to form ∆PQR.

The side lengths of ∆ABC are , 5 units; , 4.2 units; and , 4 units. Match each side of ∆PQR to its length.

This is the concept of transformation of figures, given that ΔABC is similar to ΔPQR, the sides of ABC are 5 units, 4.2 units and 4 units. Since the two triangles are similar and PQR is the image of ABC under the dilation 1.25, the sides of PQR will be:
(5*1.25),(4.2*1.25),(4*1.25)
this will give us:
6.25, 5.25, 5
The length of the sides of PQR are 6.25 units, 5.25 units and 5 units
Hope you get a good grade

In triangle RST, U is the midpoint of RS, V is the midpoint of ST, and W is the midpoint of TR. Use the triangle diagram to answ

Zolol [24]

(1)

we are given

U is the midpoint of RS

and we have

$RU=12$

so, we can use formula

$RS=2RU$

we can plug values

$RS=2\times 12$

$RS=24$ ............Answer

(2)

V is the midpoint of ST

so, we get

$SV=VT$

now, we can plug values

$2x=11$

divide both sides by 2

$x=5.5$ .........Answer

(3)

now, we can find y

W is the midpoint of TR

so, we get

$RW=WT$

we can plug value

$15.9=3y$

divide both sides by 3

$y=5.3$

(4)

we can see that

triangles URW and RST are similar

so, their sides ratios must be equal

so, we get

$\frac{RW}{RT} =\frac{UW}{ST}$

we can plug values

$\frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9} =\frac{UW}{2VT}$

$\frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9} =\frac{UW}{2\times 11}$

$UW=22\times \frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9}$

$UW=11$ ...........Answer

(5)

we can see that

triangles SUV and RST are similar

so, their sides ratios must be equal

so, we get

$\frac{SU}{SR} =\frac{UV}{RT}$

now, we can plug values

$\frac{12}{2\times 12} =\frac{UV}{2\times 15.9}$

$UV=2\times 15.9\times \frac{12}{2\times 12}$

$UV=15.9$ .............Answer

An experienced carpenter can frame a house twice as fast as an apprentice. Working together, it takes the carpenters 2 days. How

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

<em>6 days</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = $C$ days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2 $C$ days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = $\frac{1}{2}$

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = $\frac{1}{C}$

Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = $\frac{1}{2C}$

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = $\frac{1}{C}$ + $\frac{1}{2C}$ = Work done in one day working together = $\frac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days$

Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 $\times$ 2= <em>6 days</em>

in a random sample of 200 people, 154 said that they watched educational television. fine the 90% confidence interval of the tru

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

[0.7210,0.8189] = [72.10%, 81.89%]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size is

n = 200

the proportion is

p = 154/200 = 0.77

<em>Since both np ≥ 10 and n(1-p) ≥ 10 </em>

<em>We can approximate this discrete binomial distribution with the continuous Normal distribution. As the sample size is large enough, not applying the continuity correction factor makes no significant difference. </em>

The approximation would be to a Normal curve with this parameters:

<em>Mean </em>

p = 0.77

<em>Standard deviation </em>

$\bf s=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.77*0.23}{200}}=0.0298$

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion would be then

$\bf [0.77-z^*0.0298, 0.77+z^*0.0298]$

where $\bf z^*$ is the 10% critical value for the Normal N(0,1) distribution , this is a value such that the area under the N(0,1) curve outside the interval $\bf [-z^*,z^*]$ is 10%=0.1

We can either use a table, a calculator or a spreadsheet to get this value.

In Excel or OpenOffice Calc we use the function

<em>NORMSINV(0.95) and we get a value of 1.645 </em>

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion is then

$\bf [0.77-1.645^*0.0298, 0.77+1.645^*0.0298]=[0.7210,0.8189]$

This means there is a 90% probability that the proportion of people who watch educational television is between 72.10% and 81.89%

If the television company wanted to publicize the proportion of viewers, do you think it should use the 90% confidence interval?

Yes, I do.
