Explanation:
It can help to draw your own figure with the right angles better represented. You will notice that right triangles PQR and PRS share side RS. PQ is the hypotenuse of one of them; RS is the hypotenuse of the other.
We can write two equations that make use of the Pythagorean theorem:
PQ² = PR² +RQ²
RS² = QS² +RQ²
Then we can swap sides of the first equation and subtract the second equation. This gives ...
(PR² +RQ²) -(RS²) = (PQ²) -(QS² +RQ²)
Adding RQ², we can write this as ...
PR² -RS² +2RQ² = PQ² -QS²
__
The given relationship PR > RS means that PR² -RS² will be positive, so the left side of this equation must be positive.
Since PQ² - QS² is a positive number, PQ > QS.
Colten worked 5 days a week witch working 4 more weeks equals 8 days total
Of getting less than 7: 100%
of getting a number greater than or equal to 3: 4/6 or 67%
Answer:
a) two
b) S = {Orange, Purple}
c) 50%
d) 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
When a marble is drawn from the jar, there are <u>two</u> possible outcomes. Either the marble will be orange or it will be purple.
b)
A sample space is a set of all possible outcomes of an event. Thus, the sample space in this case will be:
<u>Sample Space = {Orange, Purple}</u>
c)
The probability of an event is given as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Therefore,
Probability of selecting orange marble = P(Orange) = 1/2
<u>P(Orange) = 0.5 = 50%</u>
d)
Probability of selecting purple marble = P(Orange) = 1/2
<u>P(purple) = 0.5 = 50%</u>
