The formula of the area of a triangle:
A_\Delta=\dfrac{bh}{2}
b - the bash - the height
We have:
b - the base3b - the height486 - the area

Substitute:
\dfrac{3b\cdot b}{2}=486\ \ \ |\cdot2\\\\3b^2=972\ \ \ |:3\\\\b^2=324\to b=\sqrt{324}\\\\b=16\to h=3b=3\cdot18=54
Answer: The length of the height is equal 54 units.

A basketball player has made​ 70% of his foul shots during the season. If he shoots 3 foul shots in​ tonight's game, what is the
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

There is a 34.3% probability that he makes all of the​ shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each foul shot that he takes during the game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he makes it, or he misses. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 3, p = 0.7

What is the probability that he makes all of the​ shots?

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.343

There is a 34.3% probability that he makes all of the​ shots.
