Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

My approach was to draw out the probabilities, since we have 3 children, and we are looking for 2 boys and 1 girl, the probabilities can be Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy. So a 2/3 chance if you think about it, your answer 2/3 can't be correct. If we assume that boys and girls are born with equal probability, then the probability to have two girls (and one boy) should be the same as the probability to have two boys and one girl. So you would have two cases with probability 2/3, giving an impossible 4/3 probability for both cases. Also, your list "Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy" seems strange. All of those are 2 boys and 1 girl, so based on that list, you should get a 100 percent chance. But what about Boy-Girl-Girl, or Girl-Girl-Girl? You get 2/3 if you assume that adjacencies in the (ordered) list are important, i.e., "2 boys and a girl" means that the girl was not born between the boys.

Find the circumference and area <br> r = 5 m
stira [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's get our relevant base equations listed out:

d = 2r

area = pi*r²

c = πd

Thus, d=2*5m  = 10m, c=π*10m=10π m, and area = 25m²*π

Question 14 (1 point)
Trava [24]

Answer:

150 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

100 batches          x batches

------------------- = ---------------------

8 hours                12 hours

Using cross products

100 * 12 = 8x

1200 = 8x

Divide by 8

1200/8 = 8x/8

150 = x

In ΔBCD, the measure of ∠D=90°, the measure of ∠C=77°, and CD = 41 feet. Find the length of BC to the nearest foot.
OLga [1]

Answer:

182 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are not given a diagram, always draw one for yourself (see diagram).

When you have a right triangle (triangle with 90° angle), you can use the trigonometry ratios, You can remember them using SohCahToa. It is read like this:

<u>s</u>inθ = <u>o</u>pposite/<u>h</u>ypotenuse           Soh

<u>c</u>osθ = <u>a</u>djacent/<u>h</u>ypotenuse          Cah

<u>t</u>anθ = <u>o</u>pposite/<u>a</u>djacent                Toa

"θ" means the angle of reference (the angle you are talking about).

We are looking for the length of BC, which is the <u>hypotenuse</u>. I labelled it "d" (lowercase D) because it is opposite to ∠D.

We know ∠C = 77°. This will be our angle of reference (replace θ).

The side we know is DC, also known as "b" (lowercase B) because it's opposite to ∠B. "b" is the <u>adjacent</u> side when θ = C because "b" is touching ∠C.

Take the general trig. formula that has <u>hypotenuse</u> and <u>adjacent</u>: (cosine ratio)

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

Substitute the variables specific for this problem.

cosC = b/d

Substitute the values you know.

cos77° = (41 ft) / d

Isolate "d" to the left side

dcos77° = d*\frac{41ft}{d}     Multiply both sides by "d"

dcos77° = 41 ft                          

dcos77° / cos77° = 41 ft / cos77°        Divide both sides by cos77°

d = 41 ft / cos77°                      Input into calculator

d = 182.261874....... ft           Unrounded answer

d ≈ 182 ft                       Rounded to nearest foot (whole number)

Remember d = BC. It's often easier to use one letter for calculations.

Therefore the length of BC is about 182 feet.
