Answer:

1/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the event First person getting red velvet cake
Let B represent the event Second person getting red velvet cake

P(A) = Total number of Red Velvet Cakes ÷ Total Number of Cakes =

6/21 = 2/7

If the first person gets a red velvet cake, then there are 5 red velvet cakes and 20 total cakes

Therefore P(B|A) = Number of red velvet cakes left ÷ total number of cakes left = 5/20 = 1/4

P(A and B) == probability of both getting red velvet cake P(A∩B) = P(A).P(B|A) = 2/7 × 1/4 = 2/28 = 1/14

NeX [460]

Answer:

735N

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

'

Given

Mass = 75kg

Acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

Substitute into the formula;

F = 75 * 9.8

F = 735N

Hence the force required is 735N

In the figure, angle E measures 54° and angle G measures 29°. What is the measurement of angle H?
MrRissso [65]
From the figure, you can say that angle E is equal to angle C because they both are vertically opposite. So, you can find angle D by substracting angle E and D from 360° (sum of angles at a point) and dividing the answer by two:
360°-54°-54° = 252°
252°÷2 = 126°
Then, you can find angle H by substracting the values of angle G and angle D from 180° (sum of angles in a triangle):
180°-126°-29° = 25°
Therefore, the answer is 25°.
I hope this answered your question :)
