The sign only changes when divided or multiplied by a negative number.
The probability of having a 17 is the number of ways of having 17 divided by the number of different possible outcomes.
Ways of having 17:
Die 1 Die 2 Die 3 sum
6 6 5 6+6+5 = 17
6 5 6 6+5+6 = 17
5 6 6 5+6+6 = 17
Those are the only 3 possibilities of having 17 (you can only loose 1 point).
The total number of outcomes are 6*6*6 = 216
So the chances (probability) to win is 3 / 216 = 1/72 = 0.0139
Answer:
<h3>#5</h3>
<u>Given vertices:</u>
These have same x-coordinate, so when connected form a vertical segment.
<u>The length of the segment is:</u>
The area of the rectangle is 72 square units, so the horizontal segment has the length of:
<u>Possible location of the remaining vertices (to the left from the given):</u>
and
<h3>#6</h3>
<u>Similarly to previous exercise:</u>
- (5, -8) and (5, 4) given with the area of 48 square units
<u>The distance between the given vertices:</u>
<u>The other side length is:</u>
<u>Possible location of the other vertices (to the right from the given):</u>
and
