Answer:

In the Pythagorean Theorem, a right triangles hypotenuse is found by a^2 +b^2= c^2. The distance formula is basically the same thing. With two points, a right triangle can be formed and the slop would be the hypotenuse. That's where the distance formula comes from

A number cube with faces labeled from 1 to 6 will be rolled once.

kramer

Answer:

$\Omega=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

$A=\{1,2,3,4\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sample Space</u>

The sample space of a random experience is a set of all the possible outcomes of that experience. It's usually denoted by the letter $\Omega$ .

We have a number cube with all faces labeled from 1 to 6. That cube is to be rolled once. The visible number shown in the cube is recorded as the outcome. The possible outcomes are listed as the sample space below:

$\Omega=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

Now we are required to give the outcomes for the event of rolling a number less than 5. Let's call A to such event. The set of possible outcomes for A has all the numbers from 1 to 4 as follows

$A=\{1,2,3,4\}$

Jennifer bought 12 pens. Out of 12 pens, 7 are blue and the rest are red.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The answer is 5:12

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 5:12 because We already know that 7 pens are blue. To find the number of red pens we must subtract 12 - 7 and get 5 as the number of red pens. Now knowing the no. of red pens and total number we can say the ratio of red pens to total no. is 5:12

What is the energy flow of a existing Rock to Sedimentary Rock?

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The thermal energy that drives the rock cycle comes from two main sources: Earth's intcriw and the sun. Earth's cutan is also a source of thermal energy that drives the rock cycle. This thermal energy is the result of radioactiv Within Earth's crust, mantle, and core.

Hope this helps :)
