Answer:

1/729

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the probabilities of each digit in the pin is independent from the other digits, the answer to this question can be calculated. There are total of 9 digits, out of which 1 digit is correct. This is true for all the three digits. So the probability of choosing the correct digit in the first place in the first try will be 1/9. Since this is true for the rest of the digits as well and they are independent, we can safely multiply the probabilities. So P(Correct Guess in the first try) = 1/9 (first place) * 1/9 (second place) * 1/9 (third place) = 1/9^3 = 1/729. So the correct answer is 1/729!!!

Two sides of an obtuse triangle measure 9 inches and 14 inches. The length of longest side is unknown. What is the smallest poss
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.

Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.

Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,

$c^2 > a^2 +b^2$

$c^2 > (9)^2 +(14)^2$

$c^2 > 81 +196$

$c^2 > 277$

c > 16.64

Therefore the smallest possible whole number is 17 inches.

PRS is isosceles with RP RS RQ is drawn such that it bisects PRS What additional fact can be used to prove PRQ SRQ by Sas in ord
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

\frac{PQR}{SQR}

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and the two opposite angles to the sides to be equal.

Given that; RP = RS, RQ and PS are common,

RP = SQ (opposite sides of parallelogram RPQS)

PQ = RS (opposite sides of parallelogram RPQS)

ΔRPS = ΔQPS (congruence property)

Thus comparing triangles PQR and SQR,

\frac{PQ}{SQ} = \frac{PR}{SR} (similarity property)

<PRS = <PRQ + <SRQ (bisection of included <PRS)

<PQS = <PQR + <SQR (similatity property to <PRS)

\frac{PRQ}{SRQ}  = \frac{SQR}{PQR} (congruence property)

But, SRQ = PQR

So that;

       \frac{PRQ}{SQR}

Therefore by Side-Angle-Side (SAS), the required additional fact is:  \frac{PRQ}{SQR}

Which is the solution to 5^x=8^x-7
Levart [38]

Answer:

C) 30.9702

Step-by-step explanation:

Take log of both sides:

In5^x = In8^x - 7

Rewrite it using the laws of log:

xIn5 = (x - 7)In8

x / (x - 7)  =  ln 8 / ln 5

x / (x - 7) = 1.292

x = 1.292x - 9.044

1.292x - x = 9.044

x = 9.044 / 0.292

Thus, x = 30.9702
