Answer:

The longer diagonal has a length of 7.3 meters.

The angles are 31.65° and 18.35°

Step-by-step explanation:

If one angle of the parallelogram is 50°, another angle is also 50° and the other two angles are the supplement of this angle. so the other three angles are:

50°, 130° and 130°.

The longer diagonal will be the one opposite to the bigger angle (130°), and this diagonal divides the parallelogram in two triangles.

Using the law of cosines in one of these two triangles, we have:

diagonal^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*cos(130\°)

diagonal^2 = 3^2 + 5^2 - 2*3*5*(-0.6428)

diagonal^2 = 53.284

diagonal = 7.3\ meters

So the longer diagonal has a length of 7.3 meters.

To find the angles that this diagonal forms with the sides, we can use the law of sines:

a / sin(A) = b/sin(B)

5 / sin(A) = diagonal / sin(130)

sin(A) = 5 * sin(130) / 7.3

sin(A) = 0.5247

A = 31.65\°

The other angle is B = 50 - 31.65 = 18.35°

Answer:

wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b)

=a(a+b)b(a+b)

=a^2+ab+ab+b^2

=a^2+2ab+b^2

A multiple-choice standard test contains total of 25 questions, each with four answers. Assume that a student just guesses on ea
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a)  8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) 0.2137 (21.37%)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the test contains 25 questions and each questions is independent of the others, then the random variable X= answer "x" questions correctly , has a binomial probability distribution. Then

P(X=x)= n!/((n-x)!*x!)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= total number of questions= 25

p= probability of getting a question right = 1/4

then

a) P(x=n) = p^n = (1/4)²⁵ = 8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) P(x<5)= F(5)

where F(x) is the cumulative binomial probability distribution- Then from tables

P(x<5)= F(5)= 0.2137 (21.37%)
