The hypotenuse (side C) of a triangle is 13 inches long. Which of the following pairs of measurements could be the correct for the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle? (Note: A2 + B2= C2)
5 inches, 12 inches
2.5 inches, 6 inches
2.5 inches, 4 inches
5 inches, 8 inches
Correct Answer : A
In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:

From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13. Mathematically,

But C=13 inches


If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then



Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches



Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches

6.25+16=169
22.25≠169
Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches



From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The median temperature can be found by organizing the temperature values from the smallest to the largest value as follows:
98.6, 98.7, 99.0, 99.0,99.2, 99.3, 99.7, 100.0
(for an even set of numbers, Median = frac{(frac{n}{2})th observation + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th observation}{2})
From the data set above, there are 8temperature values. The median is the temperature value in the middle position, which falls between the(frac{n}{2} th)and((frac{n}{2} + 1) th) position. Here N=8and median is found as:
(frac{(frac{n}{2})th + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th}{2} = )(frac{(frac{8}{2})th + (frac{8}{2} + 1) th }{2} = 4.5th position)
The element in the 4.5th position is the average of the 4th and 5th element.
(frac{99.0 + 99.2}{2} = 99.1)
Thus 99.1 is the median temperature.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
The mean is the total divided by the number of elements in the data set. From the given data set:
Total=30+29+28+30+24+12+26+33+25+23=260
Number of items, N=10
Mean=total/N=260/10=26
The mean is 26.

To find the net force, we choose east direction as positive and west as negative. From this, we can present the tag of war in the diagram below.

So, the force on the dog is -190 N and that of the girl is 165 N.
The net force is the sum of the two forces

The resulting force is negative, meaning it is in the west direction. Thus, the net force is 25 N to the west.
Correct Answer is C

We need to perform a series of numerical dimensional analysis to find the number of bags sugar needed for 300 people.
We are told that 50 people need 4 cups of sugar. This can be interpretated as:

Or

Also, one bag of sugar contains 6 cups. This can also be presented as:

Or

We use the second option relating number of people and cups, and second option relating cups of sugar and bag of sugar to find for number of bags of sugar needed for 300 people.

Therefore, 300 people will need 4 bags of sugar.
