The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following...
Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".

600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²

The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length

y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>

An unfair die is twice as likely to roll an even number than an odd number. what is the probability of it rolling an odd number?
Anarel [89]
The probability is always expressed as a part of the whole. So, it can be in terms of fraction or percentage. The numerator is the number of possible events while the denominator is the number of total events. Let x be the number of times you roll an odd number. So, the number of times you roll an even number would be 2x. The total rolls would then be x + 2x. Thus, the probability of rolling an odd number is

Probability = x/(2x + x) = x/3x = 1/3

10% of what number is 14?
alexdok [17]
140
10% is equal to 0.1

0.1 * 140 = 14

So the answer should be 140 as 10 percent of 140 is 14.
