First use Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the triangle with 10 and 6. So 10^2 - 6^2 will give you an answer. The square root that answer and use that answer along with the length of 15 to find x. It’ll be 15^2 + the previous result^2 = x^2. Square root whatever you get for x^2 and that’s your answer.

A line has a slope of 1/2 and run =50. What is the rise

Svetllana [295]

Since 1/2 is one half, the rise must be half of the run, meaning that the rise would be 25.

Suppose that the perimeter a rectangle is 54 feet, and the length is 13 feet more than the width. Find the width ractangle, in f

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:7feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter(p)=54ft

Width(w) +13=Length(L)

Perimeter=2xLength+2xwidth

P=2xL+2xw

L=w+13

54=2(w+13)+2w

54=2w+26+2w

Collect like terms

54-26=2w+2w

28=4w

Divide both sides by 4

28/4=4w/4

7=w

Width =7feet

Jana And Jordan had 23 oranges Jana had 7 fewer oranges than Jordan how many oranges did each girl have

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Jana had 8 oranges, and Jordan had 15 oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) In total, Jana and Jordan had 23 oranges.

2) Jana had 7 less oranges than Jordan.

We can create a formula, where x equals the number of oranges Jana has.

23 = x + (x + 7)

16 = x + x (subtracted 7 from both sides)

x = 8 (divided both sides by 2)

So, now we know Jana had 8 oranges, which is 7 less than Jordan.

8 + 7 = ?

? = 15

Jana had 8 oranges, while Jordan had 15, for a total of 23 oranges.

On a lunch counter, there are 3 oranges, 5 apples, and 2 bananas. If 3 pieces of fruit are selected, find the probability that 1

muminat

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{1}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Oranges = 3$

$Apples = 5$

$Banana = 2$

$Total = 10$

Required

Determine the probability of 1 orange, 1 apple and 1 banana

Since, order is not important:

$Probability = P(Orange) * P(Apple) * P(Banana)$

$Probability = \frac{3}{10} * \frac{5}{9} * \frac{2}{8}$

<em>The difference in the numerator is as a result of picking the fruit without replacement</em>

$Probability = \frac{30}{720}$

$Probability = \frac{1}{24}$

Yeah not just one letter but two letters perpendicular to another two letters. Each 2 letters like AB is a straight line which is crossed by another 2 letters making it perpendicular.
