Answer:

a = 5.81 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where b= 1.5 and c= 6

a^2 +1.5^2 = 6^2

a^2 +2.25 = 36

Subtract 2.25 from each side

a^2 +2.25-2.25 = 36-2.25

a^2 = 33.75

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(33.75)

a = 5.809475019

We only take the positive root because length must be positive

Miguel tells his teacher1/5 is the same as 20%. Which best justifies Miguel’s answer? a.5 goes into 100 twenty times, so 20% is
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

C. 5 goes into 100 twenty times, and 1 times 20 is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that when we multiply both numerator and denominator of a fraction by a same number then we obtain an equivalent fraction,

Here, the given fraction,

\frac{1}{5}

By the above statement,

\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times 20}{5\times 20}=\frac{20}{100}

Now,

a\%=\frac{a}{100}

\implies \frac{20}{100}=20\%

Hence,

\frac{1}{5}=20\%

Option C is correct.

In a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 22. If the player matches all six numbers, they win 20,000 dollars. Othe
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Total possible number of outcomes = C(24,6) [24 choose 6]

=24!/(6!18!)

= 134596

Out of which there is only one winning combination.

Therefore we conclude:

P(win 20000)=1/134596

P(lose 1)=134595/134596

and hence the expected value is:

20000*(1/134596)+(-1)*(134595/134596)

=-114595/134596

=-0.8514 (rounded to four places after decimal)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped!
