A rectangle inscribed in a square is also a square. Proof Let rectangle MNPQ be inscribed in square ABCD as shown in Fig 2.6. Drop perpendiculars from P to AB and from Q to BC at R and S, respectively. Clearly PR  QS. Furthermore, PM  QN. SO PMR  QNS, and hence PMR  QNS. Consider quadrilateral MBNO where O is the point of intersection of QN and PM. Its exterior angle at the vertex N is congruent to the interior angle at the vertex M, so that the two interior angles at the vertices N and M are supplementary. Thus, the interior angles at the vertices B and O must also be supplementary. But ABC is a right angle, and hence, NOM must also be a right angle. Therefore the diagonals of rectangle MNPQ are perpendicular. Hence, MNPQ is a square.

(b) suppose that consolidated power decides to use a level of significance of α = .05, and suppose a random sample of 100 temperature readings is obtained. if the sample mean of the 100 temperature readings is x⎯⎯ = 60.990, test h0 versus ha and determine whether the power plant should be shut down and the cooling system repaired. perform the hypothesis test by using a critical value and a p-value. assume σ = 5. (round your z to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)
