Answer:

BD = 1 unit

AD = 1 unit

AB = 1.6 units

AC = 1.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the triangle ABC is shown.

Given that triangle ABC is isosceles, then ∠B = ∠C

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

36° + 2∠B = 180°

∠B = (180° - 36°)/2

∠B = ∠C = 72°

From Law of Sines:

sin(∠A)/BC = sin(∠B)/AC = sin(∠C)/AB

(Remember that BC is 1 unit long)

AB = AC = sin(72°)/sin(36°) = 1.6

In triangle ABD, ∠B = 72°/2 = 36°, then:

∠A + ∠B + ∠D = 180°

36° + 36° + ∠D = 180°

∠D = 180° - 36° - 36° = 108°

From Law of Sines:

sin(∠A)/BD = sin(∠B)/AD = sin(∠D)/AB

(now ∠A = ∠B)

BD = AD = sin(∠A)*AB/sin(∠D)

BD = AD = sin(36°)*1.6/sin(108°) = 1

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The pizza that is a better deal is 12" square pan pizza for $3.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you get 2 of the 12" square pan pizzas it will be 24" and you will only have to pay $7.90. but if you bought the 24" square pan pizza you would have to pay $14.95 which isnt a fair price.

The probability that your call to a service line is answered in less than 30 seconds is 0.75. Assume that your calls are indepen

Answer:

a) 0.2581

b) 0.4148

c) 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are answered in less than 30 seconds. Or they are not. The probabilities for each call are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.75$

a. If you call 12 times, what is the probability that exactly 9 of your calls are answered within 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X = 9)$ when $n = 12$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.75)^{9}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.2581$

b. If you call 20 times, what is the probability that at least 16 calls are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X \geq 16)$ when $n = 20$
