The expected value is the summary of the product between each element and its probability.

In this case, we have to multiply the number of dollars in each area with the probability of happening. It's important to note that there are 8 portions inside the circle because each of them has 45°.

According to the given diagram $160 represents one slice, $80 represents one slice, and -$40 represents 6 slices.

Having said that, we can express the expected value as follows.

$\begin{gathered} E=160\cdot(\frac{1}{8})+80\cdot(\frac{1}{8})-40\cdot(\frac{6}{8}) \\ E=\frac{160}{8}+\frac{80}{8}-\frac{240}{8}=20+10-60=-30 \end{gathered}$ <h2>Therefore, the expected value is -30 which means you most likely will lose $30 if you play.</h2>

Jamie needs to determine the distance across a river. She selects a rock, R, on the opposite river bank. She finds a tree, T, on

Setler [38]

Since RT is perpendicular to the river, you have that segment CT is perpendicular to RT and, thus, CT⊥RB, because point B lies in a straight line with points R and B. Angles TCR and TCB are congruent (she walks from C in a direction that makes the same angle as TCR with the river bank on her side of the river).

This means that triangle CRB is isosceles triangle with base BR and height CT, because height CT is also a bisector of angle BCR.

The height CT divides triangle BCR into two right triangles BCT and RCT, where:
