In a right triangle, the side c opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse, and the other two sides a and b are called legs. A right triangle with sides a, b, and hypotenuse c.
The Pythagorean theorem states that in any right triangle, the lengths of the three sides are related by the equation c squared = a squared + b squared. Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer the following question.
Determine the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle with legs 5 inches and 12 inches.
a.
Approximately 13.38 inches
b.
13 inches
c.
169 inches
d.
17 inches

At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. the cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. at a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. however, the velocity did change. fifty-nine wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. based on long-term experience, σ can be assumed to be 245 cm/sec. (a) find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (round your answers to the nearest whole number.) lower limit cm/sec upper limit cm/sec
