The base is 2 cm long and you want 3 pairs, that means 6 earrings.
2 cm × 6 earrings = 12 cm

12 cm of the 50 cm have been used for the base.
50 - 12 = 38 cm is left

An isosceles triangle has 2 sides that are isosceles and you want 6 earrings.
2 sides × 6 earrings = 12 sides

To figure out the length for those 12 sides with the 38 cm wire that is left, you divide.
38 cm ÷ 12 sides = approx 3.1 cm for each side

Calculate the value of the exterior angle
marishachu [46]

An exterior angle of the triangle equals to the sum opposite interior angles, so

8x+15 = (4x+5) + (3x+20)

8x +15 = 7x +25

x=10

Now, we can calculate the exterior angle.

8x+15 = 8*10 + 15 = 80+15 = 95

Answer is 95⁰.

It depends, what does a mean? If you know just add what a means to 3 then subtract 4.

grigory [225]

Answer:

The change to the face 3 affects the value of P(Odd Number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysing the question one statement at a time.

Before the face with 3 is loaded to be twice likely to come up.

The sample space is:

S = \{1,1,2,2,2,3\}

And the probability of each is:

P(1) = \frac{n(1)}{n(s)}

P(1) = \frac{2}{6}

P(1) = \frac{1}{3}

P(2) = \frac{n(2)}{n(s)}

P(2) = \frac{3}{6}

P(2) = \frac{1}{2}

P(3) = \frac{n(3)}{n(s)}

P(3) = \frac{1}{6}

P(Odd Number) is then calculated as:

P(Odd\ Number) =  P(1) + P(3)

P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}

Take LCM

P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2+1}{6}

P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{6}

P(Odd\ Number) =  \frac{1}{2}

After the face with 3 is loaded to be twice likely to come up.

The sample space becomes:

S = \{1,1,2,2,2,3,3\}

The probability of each is:

P(1) = \frac{n(1)}{n(s)}

P(1) = \frac{2}{7}

P(2) = \frac{n(2)}{n(s)}

P(2) = \frac{3}{7}

P(3) = \frac{n(3)}{n(s)}

P(3) = \frac{1}{7}

P(Odd\ Number) = P(1) + P(3)

P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{7}

Take LCM

P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2+1}{7}

P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{7}

Comparing P(Odd Number) before and after

P(Odd\ Number) =  \frac{1}{2} --- Before

P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{7} --- After

<em>We can conclude that the change to the face 3 affects the value of P(Odd Number)</em>
