If A,B and C lie on the same line:

4x- 9 + 3x+5 = 17

7x = 21

x = 3

AB + BC = AC
4x - 9 + 3x + 5 = 17
7x - 4 = 17
add 4 to both sides
7x = 21
divide both sides by 7
x = 3

Suppose that 80% of all trucks undergoing a brake inspection at a certain inspection facility pass the inspection. Consider grou
Gwar [14]

Answer:

P=0.147

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know 80% of the trucks have good brakes. That means that probability the 1 randomly selected truck has good brakes is P(good brakes)=0.8 . So the probability that 1 randomly selected truck has bad brakes Q(bad brakes)=1-0.8-0.2

We have to find the probability, that at least 9 trucks from 16 have good brakes, however fewer than 12 trucks from 16 have good brakes. That actually means the the number of trucks with good brakes has to be 9, 10 or 11 trucks from 16.

We have to find the probability of each event (9, 10 or 11 trucks from 16 will pass the inspection) .  To find the required probability 3 mentioned probabilitie have to be summarized.

So P(9/16 )=  C16 9 * P(good brakes)^9*Q(bad brakes)^7

P(9/16 )= 16!/9!/7!*0.8^9*0.2^7= 11*13*5*16*0.8^9*0.2^7=approx 0.02

P(10/16)=16!/10!/6!*0.8^10*0.2^6=11*13*7*0.8^10*0.2^6=approx 0.007

P(11/16)=16!/11!/5!*0.8^11*0.2^5=13*21*16*0.8^11*0.2^5=approx 0.12

P(9≤x<12)=P(9/16)+P(10/16)+P(11/16)=0.02+0.007+0.12=0.147

In the figure, line segment VR is parallel to line segment US and m&lt;1 = 45 degrees what is m&lt;4?
Jobisdone [24]

The measure of ∠4 is 45°.

Solution:

Line segment VR is parallel to the line segment US.

m∠1 = 45°

∠1 and ∠4 are corresponding angles.

<em>If two lines are parallel, then the corresponding angles are congruent.</em>

m∠1 = m∠4

45° = m∠4

m∠4 = 45°

The measure of ∠4 is 45°.

A ramp 17 1/2 feet in length rises to a loading platform that is 3 1/2 feet off the ground. Find the angle that the ramp makes w
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The angle that the ramp makes with the ground is 11.54°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that the length of 17 1/2 ft corresponds to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, the length of 3 1/2 ft corresponds to the opposite side.

We can use the fact that the sin(θ) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} to find the angle that the ramp makes with the ground.

sin(\theta)=\frac{3.5}{17.5}

The angle is equal to

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{3.5}{17.5} )\\\theta = 11.54\°
