Okay to start this out. You started hiking at 1 P.M. You are at an elevation of 6000 ft. At 5 PM You are at an elevation of 4800 feet. 6000 feet - 4800 feet = 1200 feet in 4 hours.
Make a ratio 4(Hr):1200 Ft
                       3(Hr):900 Ft
                       2(Hr):600 Ft
                       1(Hr):300 Ft
So at the end of the equation your hourly change is -300 ft, because the elevation is going down.

Consider rolling two fair dice one 3-sided the other 5-sided
Ne4ueva [31]

Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose

1\leq x\leq 3,\quad 1\leq y \leq 5

We have P(X=x)=\frac{1}{3} and P(Y=y)=\frac{1}{5}, because the dice are fair.

Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that

P(X=x, Y=y) = P(X=x)\cdot P(Y=y) =\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{1}{15}

Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:

  • 2 in a unique way (1+1)
  • 3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
  • 4 in three possible ways
  • 5 in three possible ways
  • 6 in three possible ways
  • 7 in two possible ways
  • 8 in a unique way

This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of W=X+Y are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5

1. In triangle ABC, if AB = 3cm, BC = 4cm and AC = 5cm Find
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The diagram of the triangle is shown in the attached photo

The lengths of the given triangle form a Pythagoras triple. This means that the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides.

Area = 1/2 × base × height

Height = 3 cm

Base = 4 cm

Area = 1/2 × 3 × 4 = 6 cm²

B) The altitudes can be AB or BC. Therefore, the length of the shortest altitude is AB = 3 cm

The diagonal is the same as the hypotenuse which is also the longest side of the triangle. Thus,

Length of diagonal = 5 cm
