Draw dagarm (see attachment)

we've got a right triangle
the legs are 12 and 15
and the hypohuse is the diagonal

remember, for any right tirnalge
when the legs are a and b and hytponuse is c then
a²+b²=c²

so
12²+15²=c²
144+225=c²
369=c²
sqrt both sides
√369=c
3√41=c
the diagonal is 3√41 m or about 19.2m

40% of Oatypop cereal boxes contain a prize. Hannah plans to keep buying cereal until she gets a prize. What is the probability

aleksley [76]

Answer:

$(0.6)^{n}+n(0.4)(0.6)^{n-1}+\frac{n(n-1)(0.4)^{2}0.6^{n-2}}{2} +\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)0.4^{3}0.6^{n-3}}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the binomial distribution. Let X be the random variable representing the no. of boxes Hannah buys before betting a prize.

Our success is winning the prize, p =40/100 = 0.4

Then failure q = 1-0.4 = 0.6

Hannah keeps buying cereal boxes until she gets a prize. Then n be no. times she buys the boxes.

P(X ≤ 3) = P(X=0) +P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)

= $\binom{n}{0}p^{0}q^{n-0}$ + $\binom{n}{1}p^{1}q^{n-1}$ + $\binom{n}{2}p^{2}q^{n-2}$ + $\binom{n}{3}p^{3}q^{n-3}$

= $q^{n}+npq^{n-1}$ + $\frac{n(n-1)(p)^{2}q^{n-2}}{2}$ + $\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)p^{3}q^{n-3}}{6}$

= $(0.6)^{n}+n(0.4)(0.6)^{n-1}+[tex]\frac{n(n-1)(0.4)^{2}0.6^{n-2}}{2} +\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)0.4^{3}0.6^{n-3}}{6}$

How do you determine whether 2 figures are classified as congruent, similar, or neither?

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Congruent figures have the same proportions and have the exact dimensions as each other.

Similar figures have the same proportions but the dimensions are scaled.

If the figures don't satisfy either it is neither similar nor congruent.

Identify the missing numbers below:

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

A = 7.7

b = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

$(3.5 \times 10^{16})(2.2 \times 10^{10}) = A \times 10^b \\ 3.5 \times 2.2 \times 10^{16} \times 10^{10}= A \times 10^b \\ 7.7 \times {10}^{16 + 10} = A \times 10^b \\ 7.7 \times {10}^{26} = A \times 10^b \\ equating \: like \: terms \: on \: both \: sides \\ A = 7.7 \\ 10^b = {10}^{26} \\ \implies \: b = 26$
