Answer:  The required answers are

(a) 69,  (b) 21,  (c) 21  and  (d) 0.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given that the set A has 48 elements and the set B has 21 elements.

(a) To determine the maximum possible number of elements in A ∪ B.

If the sets A and B are disjoint, that is they do not have any common element. Then, A ∩ B = { }   ⇒   n(A ∩ B) = 0.

From set theory, we have

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=48+21-0=69.

So, the maximum possible number of elements in  A ∪ B is 69.

(b) To determine the minimum possible number of elements in A ∪ B.

If the set B is a subset of set A, that is all the elements of set B are present in set A. Then,  n(A ∩ B) = 21.

From set theory, we have

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=48+21-21=48.

So, the minimum possible number of elements in  A ∪ B is 21.

(c) To determine the maximum possible number of elements in A ∩ B.

If the set B is a subset of set A, that is all the elements of set B are present in set A. Then, n(A ∩ B) = 21.

So, the maximum possible number of elements in  A ∩ B is 21.

(d) To determine the minimum possible number of elements in A ∩ B.

If the sets A and B are disjoint, that is there is no common element in the sets A and B . Then,  n(A ∩ B) = 0.

So, the maximum possible number of elements in  A ∩ B is 0.

Thus, the required answers are

(a) 69,  (b) 21,  (c) 21  and  (d) 0.

Triangle LMN is similar to triangle PQR, and the hypotenuses of the triangles both lie on line X.
Mice21 [21]
Answer: choice C) -2/3

The line X is completely straight meaning that the slope of line X is the same no matter which two points you pick. Since we're given that line X has a slope of -2/3 through the points (-7,6) and (-4,4), this also applies to the portion from (-1,2) to (5,-2)

Andrea's living room floor is a rectangle 12 feet by 15 feet. She wants to buy a rug that is geometrically similar to her living
Sliva [168]

Answer:

180 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A rug that is geometrically similar to her room floor is one that has the same size as her room floor.

The floor has dimensions 12 feet by 15 feet.

The area of the floor and hence, the rug is:

A = 12 * 15 = 180 square feet

She should buy a rug that is 180 square feet

What is equivalent to 36/72
AveGali [126]
1/2 because 36 is half of 72. You could also divide the numbers by 12 and you will get 3/6 which is the same as 1/2.
