A line segment ad, contains points b & c such that c is between a and d, and b is between a and

1 answer:

3 0

If you drew out this line segment with the points in the order we are given them, the segment would be labeled as a, b, c, d in that order. We are given a measure for ab, and we are also given a measure for bd with c being ignored for a minute. The entire length of the segment can be found by adding ab and bd. 6 + 23 = ad and ad = 29. So the length of the whole segment is 29. We have the length of cd given to be equal to ab, so cd = 6. ab + bc + cd = ad and we are looking for bc. Since we have the other lengths and the length of the whole segment, we fill in accordingly: 6 + bc + 6 = 29. Solving for bc we get bc = 17.

HELP NEEDED : Solve this using ELIMINATION: 8x + 8y = 240 4x + y = 54 Please!!!!

Licemer1 [7]

4x + y = 54

8x + 2y = 104

8x + 8y - (8x + 2y) = 240 - 104

6y = 136

y=22 2/3

4x+ 22 2/3 = 54

4x= 31 1/3

x= 7 5/6

Let the sample space be S = 1, 2 ,3 , 4, 5, 6 suppose those outcomes are equally likely. Compute the probability of the event E

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Given:

Sample space be S = 1, 2 ,3 , 4, 5, 6.

The outcomes are equally likely.

To find:

The probability of the event E ="an even number".

Solution:

We have,

Sample space is S = 1, 2 ,3 , 4, 5, 6.

So, the total number of outcomes is 6.

E ="an even number".

E = {2,4,6}

So, the total number of favorable outcomes is 3.

The probability of the event E is

$P(E)=\dfrac{Favorable outcomes}{Total outcomes}$

$P(E)=\dfrac{3}{6}$

$P(E)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$P(E)=0.5$

Therefore, the probability of the event E is 0.5.

A fish was swimming 3 in a half feet below the water surface at 7:00 a.M. Four hours later, the fish as at a depth that is 5 one

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

8 3/4 below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Depth of fish at 7:00 A. M = 3 1/2 feets below sea level

Depth at 11:00a.m (4 hours later) = 5 1/4 feets below it's position at 7:00 a. M

Rational number to represent position of fish with respect to the water surface at 11:00 a. M

Position at 11:00 a. M :

Addition of the two depth distances given :

(3 1/2 + 5 1/4)

7/2 + 21/4 = (14 + 21) / 4 = 35 / 4

35/4 = 8 3/4 feets below sea level
