The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.

Given: T is the midpoint of JK¯¯¯¯¯JK¯, JK = 5x – 3, and JT = 2x + 1. Determine the length of JK¯¯¯¯¯JK¯
Helen [10]
JK where T is the midpoint.   J >>>>> T >>>>> K. 

JK = 5x - 3
JT = 2x + 1

Because T is the midpoint, it means that  JT = TK
So, JT + TK = JK

(2x + 1) + (2x + 1) = 5x - 3
4x + 2 = 5x - 3
4x - 5x = -3 - 2
-x = -5
x = 5

JK = 5x - 3
JK = 5(5) - 3
JK = 25 -3
JK = 22

The length of JK is 22.

Answer:

13.7

Step-by-step explanation:

It forms a triangle.

They are trying to find the height, cause they say the east-bound car went east so that makes the bottom of the triangle, the width. They also give is the distance in between both cars so that's the hypotenuse so let's set up the equation...

15² - 6² = 189

now we square root it

√189 = 13.7

Daisy taped two pieces of cardboard together to make a longer piece. The length of the first piece of cardboard was 1 2/5 meters
N76 [4]
T= total length

T=1 2/5 meters + 4 1/5 meters
add the whole #s and the fractions
T= (1+4) + (2/5 + 1/5)
T= 5 3/5 meters total

Hope this helps! :)

Find the circumference and area of a circle<br>with a radius of 5 feet.​
iVinArrow [24]

Circumference = 2(pi)r

Area = (pi)r^2

r = 5

5 * 2 = 10

Circumference = 10π

5 * 5 = 25

Area = 25π

Using 3.14 as pi substitute:

5 * 3.14 = 15.7

15.7 * 2 = 31.4

Circumference = 31.4

5 * 5 = 25

25 * 3.14 = 78.5

Area = 78.5
