Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is the probability times the frequency.

3 = 1/6 × n

n = 18

Note: the use of the word "odds" is very misleading here.  Odds are the ratio of number of successes to number of failures:

S / F

Probability is the ratio of number of successes to number of all outcomes:

S / (S + F)

So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.  The odds of rolling a 5 is 1/5.

Furthermore, the word "must" is also incorrect.  The player didn't <em>have</em> to roll 18 times.  They could have rolled three times and gotten a 5 each time.  Or they could have rolled 100 times.  18 is simply the most <em>likely </em>number of rolls needed to get three 5's.

Every triangle’s inner angles’ addition equals to 180°
So if we find the x:
38°+x+2°+x=180°
40°+2x=180°
2x=180°-40°=140°
x=140°/2
x=70°
Now if we find the I hope this helped :)
