For a better understanding of the solution provided please go through the diagram in the file attached.

Let ABCD be the rectangular yard. The diagonal d=17 meters. AD=8 meters. Therefore, the length of DC can be found by applying the Pythagorean theorem in the right triangle \Delta ADC as:

DC=\sqrt{17^2-8^2}=\sqrt{(AC)^2-(AD)^2}=\sqrt{225} =15 meters.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Using the ratio table the dogs weight is:

30 pounds = 13.5 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following conversion:

20 pounds = 9 kilograms

To use the table what we must do is find another relationship that allows us to find the weight in kilograms for 30 pounds.

For example, half the weight in pounds is half the weight in kilograms.

Therefore, the given conversion is:

10 pounds = 4.5 kilograms

So, for 30 pounds, we multiply this last ratio obtained by three on both sides:

30 pounds = 13.5 kilograms

Then, the table is:

Pounds 10 20 30

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the alternative hypothesis (µ < µ0),

To find the p-value with test statistic -1.25 and assuming a standard level of significance of 0.05, using a p value calculator, the p-value is 0.1057 which is great that 0.05. Thus, the results is not significant.

Using the p value calculation.

1. Check the left tailed z table as the test statistic is negative,

2. Then find the probabilitythat z is greater than your test statistic (look up your test statistic on the z-table- the value under 1.2 and 0.05 which is 0.8944

3. Then, find its corresponding probability, and subtract it from 1 to get your p-value- 1-0.8944 = 0.1056.

The formula T= 2pi sqrt(L/32) relates the time, T, in seconds for a pendulum with the length, L, in feet, to make one full swing
tester [92]

The length of pendulum is 2.485 feet

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

Given that,

The formula T= 2pi sqrt(L/32) relates the time, T, in seconds for a pendulum with the length, L, in feet, to make one full swing back and forth

<u><em>Therefore, the given formula is:</em></u>

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{32} }

We have to find the length of pendulum that makes one full swing in 1.75 seconds

So the modify the given equation to find "L"

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{32} }\\\\ \sqrt{\frac{L}{32} }=\frac{T}{2 \pi}\\\\\text{Taking square root on both sides }\\\\\frac{L}{32} = \frac{T^2}{4 \pi^2}\\\\L = \frac{T^2}{4 \pi^2} \times 32\\\\L = \frac{T^2}{\pi^2 } \times 8

Substitute T = 1.75 seconds and \pi = 3.14

L = \frac{1.75^2}{3.14 \times 3.14} \times 8\\\\L = \frac{3.0625}{9.8596} \times 8\\\\L = 2.485

Thus length of pendulum is 2.485 feet approximately

Someone help! you have 44 text messages in your inbox. How many messages can your cell phone hold? (and inbox is 88% full)
marin [14]
We can set up a proportion.

88% = 0.88

44/0.88 = x/1

Cross multiply:

0.88x = 44

Divide 0.88 to both sides:

x = 50

So your cell phone can hold 50 messages.
