ches. The straw lengths are 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 7 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches. What is the probability that you randomly choose one piece of wood keep it then randomly choose the second one to give you a total length of 10 inches. (*Hint* Make a list of the combinations that will add up to 10.) Part 1: Express the probability of the 1st chosen piece of wood. Express the probability of the 2nd chosen piece of wood. Part 2: Explain how you arrived at the above probabilities. Part 3: Express your result in lowest terms.

The possible combinations are:
1,9
2,8
3,7
4,6
9,1
8,2
7,3
6,4

Total straws: 9
Probability of first being 1: 1/9
Probability of second being 9: 1/8
Probability of both: 1/9 x 1/8 = 1/72

This will be multiplied by 8 as there are 8 possible combinations:
8 x 1/72
= 8/72
= 1/9

Find the area of the figure.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Create rectangles by moving triangular pieces around:

Triangle A fits at location A', so you get a rectangle of 9*6 = 54 ft²

Triangle B fits at location B', so you get a rectangle of 5*4 = 20 ft²

totals to 20+54=74 ft²

Suzie just became a personal trainer and is finalizing her pricing plans. One plan is to charge $59 for the initial consultation
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2 sessions, $231

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation (let x represent the number of sessions)

59+86x=63+84x

Subtract 84x from both sides

59+2x=63

Subtract 59 from both sides

2x=4

Divide by 2

x=2

At 2 sessions they will be equal

To find the cost, substitute 2 in for x

59+86(2)=63+84(2)

59+172=63+168

231=231

So, at 2 sessions the plans will cost the same at $231

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

y - 1 = \frac{5}{3}(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = \frac{5}{3} and (a, b) = (2, 1), thus

y - 1 = \frac{5}{3}(x - 2) ← equation of line
