Probability of rolling factors of 20

1 answer:

3 0

If you are rolling a single six sided die numbered 1-6, you find that only 1,2,4, and 5 are factors of 20. Now the theoretical probability of an event is the ratio comparing the number of desired outcomes to the total outcomes possible.

In this case: we have 4 desired outcomes out of a total 6 outcomes possible with a single roll the die.. therefore, the probability you seek is $\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$ or approximately 67%.

I'm really lost on this problem

Since you need a little bit of trigonometry to solve this problem,
I'm pretty sure you've had a little bit of trigonometry in class before
you were assigned to solve this problem.

-- The shaded triangle comes from taking the equilateral triangle and
either folding it in half or cutting it in half.

-- The base that the new triangle is standing on is 1/2 the base of the
equilateral triangle, so it's 7 cm long.

-- The acute angle at the right end of the base is the same as it was in
the equilateral triangle . . . 60 degrees.

-- The tangent of 60 degrees is (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = x / 7 cm

tan(60) = x/7

-- Multiply each side of this little equation by 7 : 7 tan(60) = x

If you don't have the tangent of 60 degrees in your pocket, you can
find it with your calculator. Multiply it by 7, and Shazam, you know 'x' .
