When rolling a number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6, what is the probability of rolling a number greater than 2?

So since it says greater than 2 is would not include 2 it would be 3,4,5,6. so your answer would be 4/6 but you need it in simplest for so it would be 2/3!
HOPE THIS HELPED ;D

4/ 6 or in simplest, 2/3. I know this bc there's only 4 numbers greater than 2. there for me the fraction would be 4/6 the six for the sides and the four for the number of aides greater than two. :)))

The park is 6 mi due east of Freeport High School, and the library is 4 mi due west of the school. The police department is loca

The answer is 6.7 mi.

Since the right triangle is present, to calculate this we will use the Pythagorean theorem. According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (c²) is equal to the sum of the squares of two other sides (a² + b²):
c² = a² + b²

First, we need to express symbols:
b - side of the right triangle (distance between police department and Freeport High School).
a1 - side of the first right triangle (distance between library and Freeport High School).
a2 - side of the second right triangle (distance between park and Freeport High School).
c1 - hypotenuse of the first triangle (distance between police department and library).
c2 - hypotenuse of the second triangle (distance between police department and park).

Therefore, we need to calculate c2.
It is given:
a2 = 6 mi
a1 = 4 mi
c1 = 5 mi

First, let's calculate b, which is a common side for two triangles:
c1² = a1² + b²
b² = c1² - a1²
b² = 5² - 4²
b² = 25 - 16
b² = 9
√b² = √9
b = 3.

We know b, now we can calculate c2:
c2² = a2² + b²
c2² = 6² + 3²
c2² = 36 + 9
c2² = 45
√c2² = √45
c2 = 6.7

The distance between police department and park is 6.7 miles.
