Answer:

a=169.74cm

Step-by-step explanation:

By the description in the problem of the tent, there are 3 rectangle faces are faces, one is the floor and the other two are formin the ceiling. This means the height of the tent can be calculated from the information of the triangular faces.

Each side of the triangle is 196 cm, if we divide the equilateral triangle into two rights triangles with a base of 196/2=98cm and a hypotenuse of 196 cm, the side missing is the height of the original equilateral triangle and also the height os the tent. Using the Pitagora's theorem:

c^2=a^2+b^2\\a^2=c^2-b^2\\a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}

a=\sqrt{196^2-98^2}=\sqrt{28812}=169.74cm

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Spinner A</u>

  • Probability of red = 0.5,
  • Probability of blue = 0.5

<u>Spinner B</u>

  • Probability of red = 0.6,
  • Probability of blue = 0.4

<u>Probability of both A and B land on red: </u>

  • 0.5*0.6= 0.3

<u>Number of attempts to get outcome of 84 red on both spinners is:</u>

  • 84/0.3= 260

<u>Probability of both spinners land on blue:</u>

  • 0.5*0.4= 0.2

<u>Estimated number of both spinners land on blue:</u>

  • 260*0.2= 52

What is -3x+13=16 help me with each step.
hoa [83]

-3x+13=16

Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.

-3x+13-13=16-13

-3x=16-13

-3x=3

Divide by -3 for both sides.

-3/-3x=3/-3

Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x

x=-1

Answer: x=-1

Three consecutive even integers add to −6. What are these integers?
notka56 [123]
----------------------------------------------------
Define the numbers
----------------------------------------------------
Let the first even number be x
1st even number = x
2nd even number = x + 2
3rd even number = x + 4

----------------------------------------------------
Form the equation and solve
----------------------------------------------------
 x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -6
3x + 6 = -6
3x = - 12
x = -4

----------------------------------------------------
Find the numbers
----------------------------------------------------
1st even number = x = -4
2nd even number = x + 2 = -4 + 2 = -2
3rd even number = x + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0

----------------------------------------------------
Answers: The numbers are -4, -2 and 0
