Answer:

The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft Step-by-step explanation: Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ; We make reference to the diagram Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal; Thus; 20/15 = 28/x + 15 20(x + 15) = 15(28) 20x + 300 = 420 20x = 420-300 20x = 120 x = 120/20 x = 6 So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides Let the hypotenuse be marked x x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2 x^2 = 1,225

x = √1225

x = 35 ft

There are three boxes: one with two golden coins, one with two silver coins, and one with one golden coin and one silver coin. A
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From Bayes' theorem is stated mathematically as the following equation:[2]

{\displaystyle P(A\mid B)={\frac {P(B\mid A)\,P(A)}{P(B)}},}

where A and B are events and P(B) ≠ 0.

P(A) and P(B) are the probabilities of observing A and B without regard to each other.

P(A | B), a conditional probability, is the probability of observing event A given that B is true.

P(B | A) is the probability of observing event B given that A is true.

At this point, go through the attached file before you continue with part B.

Part B)

P(silver) = P(silver from SS)+P(silver from GS)

note P(SS)=P(GG)=P(GS) = 1/3

P(silver from SS) = 1

P(silver from GS) = 1/2

hence

P(Silver from SS) = 1/3

P(Silver from GS) = 1/3 *1/2

P(Silver) = 1/3*1+1/3*1/2

required probability = P(Silver from SS)/P(Silver) = 2/3

A right angled triangle has sides of length 9cm, 12cm and 15cm. Calculate its area in square centimetres.
Dmitriy789 [7]

The area of a right angled triangle with sides of length 9cm, 12cm and 15cm in square centimeters is 54 sq cm.

The formula to calculate the area of a right triangle is given by:

Area of Right Triangle, A = (½) × b × h square units

Where, “b” is the base (adjacent side) and “h” is the height (perpendicular side). Hence, the area of the right triangle is the product of base and height and then divide the product by 2.

We know that the hypotenuse is the longest side. So, the area of a right angled triangle will be half of the product of the remaining two sides.

Given sides of the triangle:

a=9cm

b=12cm

c=15cm

From this we know that the hypotenuse is c. Are of the triangle will be obtained by the other two sides.

∴Area = \frac{1}{2} x 9 x 12

= 54cm^{2}

Of the following options, what could be a possible first step in solving the equation 3x − 1 = 2x + 4? Combining like terms, 3x
faust18 [17]
<span>Subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation would be a reasonable first step in solving this equation as it properly combines like terms to the left side of the equation. It quickly shows that the next step would be adding 1 to both sides of the equation, which would have us arrive at the answer of x = 5.</span>
