Three numbers in the interval $\left[0,1\right]$ are chosen independently and at random. What is the probability that the chosen

numbers are the side lengths of a triangle with positive area

Let a,b,c be the randomly selected lengths. Without loss of generality, suppose a[tex]P(A + B \ge C) = P(A + B - C \ge 0)

where A,B,C are independent random variables with the same uniform distribution on [0, 1].

By their mutual independence, we have

P(A=a,B=b,C=c) = P(A=a) \times P(B=b) \times P(C=c)

so that the joint density function is

P(A=a,B=b,C=c) = \begin{cases}1 & \text{if }(a,b,c)\in[0,1]^3 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise}\end{cases}

where [0,1]^3=[0,1]\times[0,1]\times[0,1] is the cube with vertices at (0, 0, 0) and (1, 1, 1).

Consider the plane

a + b - c = 0

with (a,b,c)\in\Bbb R^3. This plane passes through (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 1), and (0, 1, 1), and thus splits up the cube into one tetrahedral region above the plane and the rest of the cube under it. (see attached plot)

The point (0, 0, 1) (the vertex of the cube above the plane) does not belong the region a+b-c\ge0, since 0+0-1=-1. So the probability we want is the volume of the bottom "half" of the cube. We could integrate the joint density over this set, but integrating over the complement is simpler since it's a tetrahedron.

Then we have

\displaystyle P(A+B-C\ge0) = 1 - P(A+B-C < 0) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 1 - \int_0^1\int_0^{1-a}\int_{a+b}^1 P(A=a,B=b,C=c) \, dc\,db\,da \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 1 - \int_0^1 \int_0^{1-a} (1 - a - b) \, db \, da \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 1 - \int_0^1 \frac{(1-a)^2}2\,da \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 1 - \frac16 = \boxed{\frac56}

Pls help this is major, ill mark u brainliest
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

A=lw   A=(.5)πr²

to get the area of the shaded parts you have to subtract the area of the semicircle from the area of the rectangle

A=(16)(9)

A=144

A=\frac{(3.14)(5)^2}{2} A=\frac{(3.14)(25)}{2} A=\frac{78.5}{2}

A=39.25

subtract the areas

144-39.25=104.75

104.75 ≅ 105

What is the area of a circle. Using 3.14 for. A circle with diameter of 8.4 ft.
ira [324]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First, let's find the radius. The radius is half of the diameter.

8.4/2=4.2

Here's how to find the area of a circle.

Square the radius.

4.2²=17.64

And multiply by pi (3.14 in our case)

17.64(3.14)=55.3896

We round to the nearest tenth, giving us an area of 55.4 ft²

Have a wonderful day! :D

Evgen [1.6K]
Marathon C is in the middle.

From Marathon C to Dodge C is 487

Then From Marathon C to Bayfield C is also 487

And from Dodge C to Bayfield C is 487 + 487 = 974 miles
