Consider triangle abc what is the value of y in the triangle

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

y = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangle angles add up to 180 degrees.

To set this equation up, you need to add everything given in the triangle and set it equal to 180:

y + y + 80 = 180

<em><u>Add like terms:</u></em>

2y + 80 = 180

<u><em>Subtract 80 from both sides:</em></u>

2y + 80 = 180

- 80 - 80

___________

2y = 100

<u><em>Divide both sides by 2:</em></u>

y = 50

<u><em>If you're unsure, you can plug in the 50 for y:</em></u>

y + y + 80 = 180

50 + 50 + 80 = 180

100 + 80 = 180

180 = 180

On a morning of a day when the sun will pass directly overhead, the shadow of a 60-ft building on level ground is 25 ft long.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The shadow is decreasing at the rate of 3.55 inch/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the building = 60ft

The shadow of the building on the level ground is 25ft long

Ѳ is increasing at the rate of 0.24°/min

Using SOHCAHTOA,

Tan Ѳ = opposite/ adjacent

= height of the building / length of the shadow

Tan Ѳ = h/x

X= h/tan Ѳ

Recall that tan Ѳ = sin Ѳ/cos Ѳ

X= h/x (sin Ѳ/cos Ѳ)

Differentiate with respect to t

dx/dt = (-h/sin²Ѳ)dѲ/dt

When x= 25ft

tanѲ = h/x

= 60/25

Ѳ= tan^-1(60/25)

= 67.38°

dѲ/dt= 0.24°/min

Convert the height in ft to inches

1 ft = 12 inches

Therefore, 60ft = 60*12

= 720 inches

Convert degree/min to radian/min

1°= 0.0175radian

Therefore, 0.24° = 0.24 * 0.0175

= 0.0042 radian/min

Recall that

dx/dt = (-h/sin²Ѳ)dѲ/dt

= (-720/sin²(67.38))*0.0042

= (-720/0.8521)*0.0042

-3.55 inch/min

Therefore, the rate at which the length of the shadow of the building decreases is 3.55 inches/min

Plese help me thank you!

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

y=2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Every y value is double the x value on top.

y=6:
6 = 3 × ?

? = 2

y=10:

10 = 5 × ?

? = 2

And so on....

So the equation that represents this data is :

y=2x

We have two fair three-sided dice, indexed by i = 1, 2. Each die has sides labeled 1, 2, and 3. We roll the two dice independent

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

(a) P(X = 0) = 1/3

(b) P(X = 1) = 2/9

(c) P(X = −2) = 1/9

(d) P(X = 3) = 0

(a) P(Y = 0) = 0

(b) P(Y = 1) = 1/3

(c) P(Y = 2) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Two 3-sided fair die.

- Random Variable X_1 denotes the number you get for rolling 1st die.

- Random Variable X_2 denotes the number you get for rolling 2nd die.

- Random Variable X = X_2 - X_1.

Solution:

- First we will develop a probability distribution of X such that it is defined by the difference of second and first roll of die.

- Possible outcomes of X : { - 2 , -1 , 0 ,1 , 2 }

- The corresponding probabilities for each outcome are:

( X = -2 ): { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 3 }

P ( X = -2 ): P ( X_2 = 1 ) * P ( X_1 = 3 )

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 1 / 9 )

( X = -1 ): { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 2 } + { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 3 }

P ( X = -1 ): P ( X_2 = 1 ) * P ( X_1 = 3 ) + P ( X_2 = 2 ) * P ( X_1 = 3)

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 2 / 9 )

( X = 0 ): { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 1 } + { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 2 } + { X_2 = 3 , X_1 = 3 }

P ( X = -1 ):P ( X_2 = 1 )*P ( X_1 = 1 )+P( X_2 = 2 )*P ( X_1 = 2)+P( X_2 = 3 )*P ( X_1 = 3)

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 3 / 9 ) = ( 1 / 3 )

( X = 1 ): { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 1 } + { X_2 = 3 , X_1 = 2 }

P ( X = 1 ): P ( X_2 = 2 ) * P ( X_1 = 1 ) + P ( X_2 = 3 ) * P ( X_1 = 2)

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 2 / 9 )

( X = 2 ): { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 3 }

P ( X = 2 ): P ( X_2 = 3 ) * P ( X_1 = 1 )

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 1 / 9 )

- The distribution Y = X_2,

P(Y=0) = 0

P(Y=1) = 1/3

P(Y=2) = 1/ 3

- The probability for each number of 3 sided die is same = 1 / 3.
