Answer:

True, False, False, False

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll find the lengths of all sides of the drawing before answering individual answers so that it's less confusing.

1) The question says that QR is a perpendicular bisector of TS. This means that the length of TQ and QS is the same. Also, since both triangles TRQ and SRQ share the same side RQ, and the angle between the two segments is 90 degrees, the two triangles are congruent (RTQ and RSQ) using SAS.

2) Side RT and TS will have the same length since the two triangles are congruent. (2x+1) = (4x-3) --> -2x = -4 --> x = 2. We can conclude that x = 2.

3) Now that we know that x = 2, we can find the length of side RS by replacing the x with 2. 4(2)-3 is 5, so RS = 5.

4) We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find RQ (Hypotenuse^2 = Other two sides added after being squared individually). Since the hypotenuse of triangle RSQ is RS which is 5, and one side is 4, we can input those into our equation. (5)^2 = (4)^2 + (RQ)^2. --> 25 = 16 + (RQ)^2 --> 9 = (RQ)^2 --> RQ = 3.

5) Since the two triangles RTQ and RSQ are congruent, side TQ and SQ also have the same length, since CPCTC (Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent). QS is 4, so TQ will also be 4. This means that ST will be 8 (4+4). ST = 8

Now that we have all the clues, all we need to do is choose True or False.

RS = 5 is TRUE

RS = 4 is FALSE

ST = 10 is FALSE

QR = 4 is FALSE

You purchase a television anda blu-ray palter together for $1,759. The blue-ray player, by itself, cost $469. How much did the t
satela [25.4K]
Both together cost $1759.
That means that sum of the two prices is $1759.
The operation that is the opposite of addition is subtraction.
We subtract $469 from $1759 to find the price of the televition.

$1759 - $469 =

     1759
  -    469
-----------
     1290

$1759 - $469 = $1290

Answer: The price of the television is $1290.

A standard card deck has 52 cards consisting of 26 black and 26 red cards. Three cards are dealt from a shuffled​ deck, without
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

6 / 51

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false.

Reason:

The probability of picking a black card at first is:

26 / 52 = 1/2

There are now 25 black cards and 51 cards in total.

The probability of picking another black card, if there's no replacement is now:

25 / 51

Now, there are 24 black cards and 50 cards left in total.

The probability of picking a black card without replacement now becomes:

24 / 50 = 12 / 25

Hence, the probability of picking three black cards without replacement is:

1/2 * 25/51 * 12 / 25 = 300 / 2550

In simplest form, it is 6 / 51
