Answer:

The probability of friend A winning with HH = 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event, A is P(A) given by the relationship;

P(A) = (The number of required outcome)/(The number of possible outcomes)

The parameters given are;

The condition of friend A winning = Coin toss sequence HH shows up

The condition of friend B winning = Coin toss sequence TH shows up

The number of possible outcomes = TT, TH, HH, HT = 4

(TH and HT are taken as different for the game to be fair)

The number of required outcome = HH = 1

Therefore;

The probability of friend A winning with HH = 1/4.

Equivalent fractions for 9/11, 15/17, and 2/3 using the least common denominator.
TiliK225 [7]
The (small) challenge here is to determine what the LCD is.  Since 11, 17 and 3 are all prime, we find the LCD by multiplying them together:  561.

Then 9/11= 459/561; 15/17 = 495/561; and 2/3 = 375/561.

You plant a garden in the shape of a triangle as shown in the figure. What is the perimeter of the garden? Find the values of x
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

x = 42°

y = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Therefore, two sides will be equal and measure 8 yd.

Measure of 3rd side of the triangle = 6 yd

Perimeter of the garden = 8 + 8 + 6

                                        = 22 yd

In an isosceles triangle, opposite angles of the equal sides will be equal.

Therefore, y = 69°

By the property of interior angles of a triangle,

x° + y° + 69° = 180°

x° + 69° + 69° = 180°

x = 180 - 138

x = 42°
