1. Joy wants to find the distance, AB, across a creek. She starts at point B and walks along the edge of the river 105 ft and ma

rks point C. Then she walks 85 ft further and marks point D. She turns 90° and walks until her final location and marks point E. Point E, point A, and point C are co-linear.

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Yes, Joy can conclude that ΔABC is similar to ΔEDC because

∠ACB ≅ ∠ECD    they are vertical angles and,

∠ABC ≅ ∠EDC    they are right angles

We conclude that ΔABC is similar to ΔEDC  because of the AA postulate.

b)       \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{DE}{CD}

Solve for AB

        AB = (BC)(DE) / (CD)

Substitution

        AB = 105 (90) / 85

Simplification

        AB = 105(1.06)

Result

        AB = 111.2 ft

Can you help me with number 6? <br> Confused abit <br> Please

You can see the three diagram attached. Each link is labeled with the probability: you have probability 1/6 that a six is rolled, and 5/6 that it is not rolled.


To answer the questions, find the path that brings you to the desired outcome, and multiply all the labels you meet.


First question:

To get three sixes, you have to choose the left path at each roll. The probability is always 1/6, so the answer is


\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6^3}


Second question:

To get no sixes, you have to choose the right path at each roll. The probability is always 5/6, so the answer is


\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5^3}{6^3}


Third question:

To get exactly one six, it can either be the first, second or third roll.


In all cases, you have to choose the left path once and the right path twice: left-right-right mean that you get the six in the first roll, right-left-right means that you get the six in the second roll, right-right-left means that you get the six in the third roll.


In every case, the left turn has probability 1/6, and the right turn has probability 5/6. The probability of each combination is thus


\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5^2}{6^3}


And since there are three of these combinations, The answer is


3\frac{5^2}{6^3}


Fourth question:

Since the question suggests to use what we already achieved, let's do it: having at least one six is the complementary event of having no sixes at all. If an event has probability p, its complementary has probability 1-p. So, since the probability of no sixes is known, the probability of at least one six is


1 - \frac{5^3}{6^3}
