The probability that jim will win = P(A) = 1/9

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical descriptions of how likely it is for an event to happen or for a claim to be true. A number between 0 and 1 is the probability of an event, where, broadly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes its certainty.

<h3>According to the given information :</h3>

The odds in favor of jim beating a friend at golf are = 1:8

Let A be the event that Jim beating a friend golf.

So,

according to ratio, it becomes

P(A)/P(A') = 1/8

P(A) = 1x

P(A') = 8x

we know that :

P(A) + P(A') = 1

x + 8x = 1

9x = 1

x = 1/9

so that

P(A) = 1/9

P(A') = 8/9

the probability that jim will win = P(A) = 1/9

What is 1102 using the polynomial identity (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2 ?

Virty [35]

Answer:

"Let the smaller value a = <u>10</u> and the larger value b = <u>100</u>. Than a^2 + 2ab + b^2 is <u>10^2 + 2 * 10 * 100 + 100^2</u>. This can be simplified to <u>12100</u>. So, 110^2 is equal to <u>12100</u>."

Hope this helped!

Answer: The width is: " 10 in. " .
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Consider a "rectangular prism".
________________________________________________
The formula for the Volume of a rectangular prism:
________________________________________________

V = L * w * h ;
_________________________________________________
in which:

V = volume = 120 in.³ ;
L = length = 8 in.
w = width = ??
h = height = 1.5 in.
____________________________________________
We want to solve for "w" (width) ;
____________________________________________
Given the formula:
____________________________________________

V = L * w * h ;
____________________________________________
Rewrite the formula; by dividing EACH SIDE of the equation by
"(L * h)" ; to isolate "w" on one side of the equation;
and to solve for "w" ;
_____________________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = ( L * w * h) / (L * h) ;

to get:
_________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = w ;

↔ w = V / (L * h) ;
_________________________________
Plug in our given values for "V", "L"; and "h"; to solve for "w" ;
____________________________________________________
→ w = (120 in.³) / (8 in. * 1.5 in.) ;

→ w = (120 in.³) / (12 in.²) ;

→ w = (120/12) in. = 10 in.

I need the answers for both a and b so thats why 61 points are up for grab

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

a). Triangle in the figure is ΔBCF

b). Since, $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the parallel lines and m is a transversal line,

m∠FBC = m∠BFG [Alternate interior angles]

Since, $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the parallel lines and n is a transversal line,

m∠BCF = m∠CFE [Alternate interior angles]

By triangle sum theorem in ΔBCF

m∠FBC + m∠BCF + m∠BFC = 180°

From the properties given above,

m∠BFG + m∠CFE + m∠BFC = 180°

m∠GFE = 180°

Therefore, angle GFE is the straight angle that will be useful in proving that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.
