Answer: He is not correct.

Steps:

Let x1 and x2 be the first and second number, respectively.

x_2 = \frac{5}{4}x_1\\\frac{4}{5}x_2 =x_1

In words, if the second is 125%, or 5/4 of the first number (first equation),

then the first is 4/5 of the second, which is 0.8 or 80%.

A farmer is estimating the surface area of his barn to find how much paint he needs to buy. One part of the barn is triangular a
Nady [450]
We know the triangle is an isosceles triangle. So, we use the Pythagorean Theorem. 

a^2+b^2=c^2

The c would be 22, because it's the longest edge. Now find a or b. They are the same, that is how you find the two sides of the triangle for part A.

To find the area of the triangle, the forumla is a=hb/2

Plug in the numbers for that formula and the answer would be found for part B.

I hope I helped.

The diagram shows some land in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD. AB = 6 km, AD = 5 km and CD = 12 km Angle BAC = 30 The land is
Goshia [24]

Answer:

£495 million

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the total cost of the land, we need to first calculate the area of the land.

Step 1: Find area of right angled triangle ADC

AD = 5 km,

DC = 12 km

Area of the right triangle = ½*a*b

a = 5km

b = 12km

Area = ½*5*12

= 5*6

Area of ADC = 30 km²

Step 2: Find the area of triangle ABC

First, let's find the length of AC using Pythagorean theorem

AC² = AD² + DC²

AC² = 5² + 12² = 25 + 144

AC = √169

AC = 13km

Area of ∆ABC = ½*AB*AC*sin(30°)

= ½*6*13*0.5

= 3*13*0.5

Area of ∆ABC = 19.5 km²

Total area of the land = area of ∆ADC + ∆ABC = 30 + 19.5 = 49.5 km²

Step 3: calculate how much the land costs

If the land costs £10 million per km²,

Cost of 49.5 km² = 49.5 × 10 = £495 million

100,000 random people were tested for Condition A. Roberto's doctor told him he tested positive for Condition A. If the test is
Studentka2010 [4]
The answer would be: <span>99.0%
</span>
The disease is rare with a prevalence of <span>one out of every thousand people have it. That means, the chance of Roberto has the disease without any test would be 1/1000 or 0.1%
The test sensitivity is 99%, which mean 99% of people with positive test result would have the disease. The chance is should not be influenced by the disease prevalence. </span>
