The height of a triangle is 3cm less than the length of its base and is area is 27m,find the height

1 answer:

6 0

Area of a triangle=bh/2

27= x(x-3)/2
27= (x^2-3x)/2
54= x^2-3x
x^2-3x-54=0
(x-9)(x+6)=0

x=9, x=-6.
In this case, x must equal 9 since the base cannot be a negative number.

Final answer: Height=6 m

Which of the below descriptions shows a possible HAMILTON PATH?

ra1l [238]

Option B: FECBAD represents the Hamilton path

Explanation:

The vertices in the given graph are A,B,C,D,E and F

We need to determine the Hamilton path of the given graph.

By definition, we know that a Hamilton path touches each and every vertex in a graph exactly once.

Hence, we need to connect the vertices in such a way that the graph touches each and every vertex exactly once.

Option A: EFADECBA

From this description, we can see that the path starts from the vertex E and connects all the vertices but some of the vertices are repeated twice.

Hence, the path EFADECBA is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: FECBAD

From this description, we can see that the path starts from the vertex F and connects all the vertices exactly once.

Hence, the path FECBAD is the Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: ADEFBC

From this description, we can see that the path starts from the vertex A and connects all the vertices but the path from F to B has to touch the vertex A. Thus, the vertices are repeated twice.

Hence, the path ADEFBC is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: ADECBAFE

From this description, we can see that the path starts from the vertex A and connects all the vertices but some of the vertices are repeated twice.

Hence, the path ADECBAFE is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option D is not the correct answer.

A football team has a probability of .75 of winning when playing any of the other four teams in its conference. If the games are

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

0.3164 = 31.64% probability the team wins all its conference games

Step-by-step explanation:

For each conference game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the team wins it, or they lose. The probability of winning a game is independent of any other game. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
