A jar contains 30 red, 30 blue, and 60

The probability of picking red button is \frac{1}{4}

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, A jar contains 30 red, 30 blue, and 60 white buttons.  

You pick one button at a random choice,  

We have to find the probability that it is red button.

Now, total number of buttons = 30 + 30 + 60 = 120 buttons.

Number of favourable cases for red button = 30 red buttons.

The probability of an event is given as:

\text { probability of a event }=\frac{\text { favourable ways to pick red }}{\text { total possiblities }}

=\frac{30}{120}=\frac{1}{4}

Thus the probability that it is red is \frac{1}{4}

Complete the solution of the equation. find the value of y when x equals 1. <br><br>9x +7y= -12​
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:  

                            9x +7y=-12\\             y=?       at    x= 1

Putting the given value of 'x' in the equation:

                            9(1) +7y=-12\\\\9+7y=-12\\\\7y=-12-9\\\\7y=-21\\\\y=-\frac{21}{7} \\y=-3

At x=1, the value of y is y=-3

Solve the question in the picture and write the correct answer​
zlopas [31]

Answer:

  36.24 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded region is the inscribed circle in the isosceles triangle. In order to find its area, we need to know the radius of the circle.

__

One way to find the radius of the circle is to make use of the Angle Bisector theorem. It tells us an angle bisector divides the sides of a triangle proportionately. In the attached figure, that means angle bisector CD divides segment AE in proportion to sides CA and CE.

<h3>Side Length</h3>

To make use of this theorem, we need to know the length of side CA. That is the hypotenuse of right triangle AEC, so can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Isosceles triangle ABC is given as having height AE=10 and base BC = 12.

  CA² = CE² +AE²

  CA² = 6² +10² = 136 . . . . . . . CE is half the base length: 12/2 = 6

  CA = √136 = 2√34

__

<h3>Radius</h3>

Now we can write the proportion using the angle bisector theorem.

  DE/CE = DA/CA

  r/6 = (10 -r)/(2√34)

  r√34 = 3(10 -r) . . . . . . . multiply by 6√34

  r(3 +√34) = 30

  r = 30/(3 +√34)

__

<h3>Area</h3>

From this, we can find the area of the shaded circle to be ...

  A = πr² = (3.14)(30/(3 +√34))²

  = 3.14·900/(43 +6√34) ≈ 36.2374 . . . cm²

The area of the shaded region is about 36.24 cm².

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Using area considerations, the formula for the radius of the inscribed circle in an isosceles triangle with base 'b' and sides 'a' can be found to be ...

  r=\dfrac{b}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{2a-b}{2a+b}}

For a=√136 and b=12, this becomes ...

  r=\dfrac{12}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{2\sqrt{136}-12}{2\sqrt{136}+12}}=6\sqrt{\dfrac{(\sqrt{34}-3)^2}{34-9}}=1.2(\sqrt{34}-3)\approx3.39714

This is the same value we found above.

Tavon has a gift card for $70 that loses $3 for each​ 30-day period it is not used. He has another gift card for $ 60 that loses
vladimir2022 [97]

Hello,


Your answer would be: 55


<u><em>My work:</em></u>

For this problem all you have to do is keeping subtracting 3 until you get a matching number in which I got 55.


Hope this helps!

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= −3/4x +6 and passes through the point (3, 9) ?
olga2289 [7]

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocals from the original line.

Original line: y=-3/4x+6

Perpendicular line: y=4/3x+b

Solve for b by plugging in the given coordinates (3,9) for x and y respectively.

9=4/3(3)+b

Multiply 4/3*3.

9=4+b

Subtract 4 from both sides.

5=b

Now, with b and the slope, you can write the equation:

y=4/3x+5

I hope this helps :)
