Answer:

AC = 20

BK = 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

AC is found using the Pythagorean theorem in the usual way:

  AC² = AB² + BC²

  AC² = 12² + 16² = 144 +256 = 400

  AC = √400

  AC = 20

You may recognize this is a 3-4-5 triangle scaled by a factor of 4.

__

Then BK is found using similar triangles. All of the triangles in the figure are similar*, so ...

  long side / hypotenuse = BC/AC = BK/AB

  BK = AB(BC/AC) = 12(16/20) = 12×0.8

  BK = 9.6

Since m∠B = 90°, then ΔABC is a right triangle, so Pythagorean Theorem can be used to solve for AC.

AB² + BC² = AC²

12² + 16² = AC²

144 + 256 = AC²

400 = AC²

20 = AC

The placement of point K is not given.  Is it on AC, inside the triangle, or outside the triangle?  In order to find the length, you need to know where it is placed.

Answer: AC = 20, BK = 35/3 ≈ 11.67

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a. The average number of hashtags used in a social media post from a marketing agency is different than 7 hashtags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A social media platform states that a social media post from a marketing agency has 7 hashtags, on average.

This means that at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 7, that is:

H_0: \mu = 7

A digital marketing specialist studying social media advertising believes the average number of hashtags used in a post from a marketing agency is different than the number stated by the social media platform.

Keyword is different, so at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 7, that is:

H_1: \mu \neq 7

Thus, the correct answer is given by option a.
