6 0

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find 21% of 300.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number. Change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal point of the percent two places to the left.

21% of 300 =

= 21% * 300

= 0.21 * 300

= 63

In triangle abc, the perimeter is 36, and ab=ac. line ad is perpendicular to bc at the point d, and triangle abd's perimeter is
Musya8 [376]
Let x=ab=ac, and y=bc, and z=ad.

Since the perimeter of the triangle abc is 36, you have:

Perimeter of abc = 36
ab + ac + bc = 36
x + x + y = 36
(eq. 1) 2x + y = 36

The triangle is isosceles (it has two sides with equal length: ab and ac). The line perpendicular to the third side (bc) from the opposite vertex (a), divides that third side into two equal halves: the point d is the middle point of bc. This is a property of isosceles triangles, which is easily shown by similarity.

Hence, we have that bd = dc = bc/2 = y/2 (remember we called bc = y).

The perimeter of the triangle abd is 30:

Permiter of abd = 30
ab + bd + ad = 30
x + y/2 + z =30
(eq. 2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

So, we have two equations on x, y and z:

(eq.1) 2x + y = 36
(eq.2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

Substitute 2x + y by 36 from (eq.1) in (eq.2):

(eq.2') 36 + 2z = 60

And solve for z:

36 + 2z = 60 => 2z = 60 - 36 => 2z = 24 => z = 12

The measure of ad is 12.

If you prefer a less algebraic reasoning:

- The perimeter of abd is half the perimeter of abc plus the length of ad (since you have "cut" the triangle abc in two halves to obtain the triangle abd).

- Then, ad is the difference between the perimeter of abd and half the perimeter of abc:

ad = 30 - (36/2) = 30 - 18 = 12

Flip 10000 fair coins. You are offered a 1-1 bet that the sum is less than 5000. You can bet 1, 2, ..., 100 dollars. How much wi
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 10000 times a fair coin is flipped. Since fair coin prob for head of tail =0.5

If tail comes it will be taken as 1.  Hence for the sum to be less than 5000, no of heads <5000

Since trials are large we approximate to normal with mean = np = 5000 and variance = np(1-p) = 2500

Thus no of heads x is normal with (5000, 50)

P(X

Since this prob is less than 0.5 only minimum amount to be bet i.e. 1 dollar

If sum of coins <5100, then Z = \frac{5100-5000}{50} =2

P(Z<2) = 0.9500

This time we can bet maximum of 100 dollars as probability is very high nearer to 1.

Write two ways to group and add 4+7+2
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Two ways you can group them is:

(4+7)+2

4+(7+2)

They will both give you the same answer of 13.

(4+7)+2                  4+(7+2)

11+2= 13                 4+9= 13
