Answer:

b = 1.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of diagonals of a parallelogram = $\frac{10}{12}(245b - 365)$ and $\frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

If the given parallelogram is a rectangle,

Length of the diagonals will be equal in measure,

Therefore, $\frac{10}{12}(245b - 365)=\frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

245b - 365 = $\frac{12}{10}\times \frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

245b - 365 = $\frac{4}{5}(3b+6)$

5(245b - 365) = 4(3b + 6)

1225b - 1825 = 12b + 24

1225b - 12b = 24 + 1825

1213b = 1849

b = $\frac{1849}{1213}$

b = 1.52

In the table below, y varies inversely as x. What is the missing value?

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

<h2>The value of y is <u>0.5</u>, so the answer is <u>C</u>.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find first the constant of variation.

Given: x = 3, y = 4

Find: k = ?

Formula:

$y = \frac{k}{x}$

Solution:

$y = \frac{k}{x} \\ 4 = \frac{k}{3} \\ 12 = k$

Then, find the value of y in the third box.

Given: x = 24, k = 12

Find: y = ?

Formula:

$y = \frac{k}{x}$

Solution:

$y = \frac{k}{x} \\ y = \frac{12}{24} \\ y = \frac{1}{2} \\\boxed{y = 0.5}$

A regular six sided die and an eight equal segment spinner, numbered 1 to 8, are rolled/spun simultaneously. What are the odds i

kirill [66]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, the probability of both an event A and an event B happening is equal to the probability of A happening multiplied by the probability of event B happening.

Let's say spinning a prime number is event A and rolling a number ≤ 4 is event B.

There are 8 possibilities on an eight equal segment spinner, and there are 4 prime numbers between 1 and 8 (including 8), which are 2, 3, 5, and 7. This means that the probability of spinning a prime number is 4/8, or 1/2

There are 6 possibilities on a die, and there are 4 possibilities of rolling a 4 or less (1, 2, 3, 4). Therefore, the probability of rolling 4 or less on a die is 4/6, or 2/3

The probability of both of these happening can be calculated by multiplying these together, so 1/2 * 2/3 = 2/6 = 1/3

Prove that a triangle with the sides a - 1 cm to root under a

vivado [14]

Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below.

Prove that a triangle with the sides (a − 1) cm, 2√a cm and (a + 1) cm is a right angled triangle.

Answer:

∆ABC is right angled triangle with right angle at B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Triangle having sides (a - 1) cm, 2√a and (a + 1) cm.

We need to prove that triangle is the right angled triangle.

Let the triangle be denoted by Δ ABC with side as;

AB = (a - 1) cm

BC = (2√ a) cm

CA = (a + 1) cm

Hence,

${AB}^2 = (a -1)^2$

Now We know that

$(a- b)^2 = a^2+b^2 - 2ab$

So;

${AB}^2= a^2 + 1^2 -2\times a \times1$

${AB}^2 = a^2 + 1 -2a$

Now;

${BC}^2 = (2\sqrt{a})^2= 4a$

Also;

${CA}^2 = (a + 1)^2$

Now We know that

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

${CA}^2= a^2 + 1^2 +2\times a \times1$

${CA}^2 = a^2 + 1 +2a$

${CA}^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

[By Pythagoras theorem]

$a^2 + 1 +2a = a^2 + 1 - 2a + 4a\\\\a^2 + 1 +2a= a^2 + 1 +2a$

Hence, ${CA}^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

Now In right angled triangle the sum of square of two sides of triangle is equal to square of the third side.

This proves that ∆ABC is right angled triangle with right angle at B.
