A 16 foot ladder is leaning against a wall with the base 4 feet from the wall. How high does the ladder hit the wall?
Answers
Answer:
15.49
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem
4^2 + B^2 = 16^2
16 + B^2 = 256
16 + 240 = 265
Sqrt240 = 15.49
Answer:
[tex]x = 15.49[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem is necessary to use the pythagorean theorem:
According to this diagram, the length of the ladder would be the hypotenuse and the distance between the base and the wall would be one of the legs of the triangle, to find the other leg, use the pythagorean theorem:
[tex]x = \sqrt{ {16}^{2} - {4}^{2} } \\ x = \sqrt{240} \\ x = 15.49[/tex]
The ladder hits the wall at 15:49 feet.

Answers
Answer:
1) P(258.5-cm < M < 259-cm) = 8.71%.
2) P17 = 125.57cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Question 1:
Mean of 258.5-cm and a standard deviation of 2.3-cm, which means that [tex]\mu = 258.5, \sigma = 2.3[/tex]
Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is between 258.5-cm and 259-cm.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 259 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 258.5.
X = 259
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{259 - 258.5}{2.3}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.22[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.22[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5871
X = 258.5
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{258.5 - 258.5}{2.3}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5
0.5871 - 0.5 = 0.0871
0.0871*100% = 8.71%. So
P(258.5-cm < M < 259-cm) = 8.71%.
Question 2:
Mean of 127.1-cm and a standard deviation of 1.6-cm, which means that [tex]\mu = 127.1, \sigma = 1.6[/tex]
Find P17, which is the average length separating the smallest 17% bundles from the largest 83% bundles.
This is the 17th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.17. So X when Z = -0.954.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-0.954 = \frac{X - 127.1}{1.6}[/tex]
[tex]X - 127.1 = -0.954*1.6[/tex]
[tex]X = 125.57[/tex]
P17 = 125.57cm

The length of a rectangle is x feet more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 5x + 25. What is the width of the rectangle?
Answers
Answer:
w = [tex]l + \frac{25 - l^{2}}{l - 5}[/tex]
(Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we start the solving, we can make the following statements:
Area = l x w
Area = 5x + 25
therefore,
l x w = 5x + 25
Since the question states that the length is x more than the width, so we can make the following statement:
w = l + x
With this, we can substitute it to the first statement we made, l x w = 5x + 25,
l x (l + x) = 5x + 25
[tex]l^{2}[/tex] + lx = 5x + 25
lx - 5x = 25 - [tex]l^{2}[/tex]
x(l - 5) = 25 - [tex]l^{2}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{25 - l^{2}}{l - 5}[/tex]
From this, we can find w by substituting it in the statement we made earlier, w = l + x,
w = [tex]l + \frac{25 - l^{2}}{l - 5}[/tex]
