What is 9 1/2 - 5 7/12 =

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

47/12, or 3 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

9 1/2 - 5 7/12 > convert to improper fractions

19/2 - 67/12

make same denominator (12)

19/2 * 6 = 114/12

114/12 - 67/12 = 47/12

!30 POINTS! How can I use this trapezoid to prove the Pythagorean Theorem?

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem: c2 = a2 + b2

Find the area by adding the areas of the three triangles. The area of a right triangle is: A = ½bh

Two triangles are identical so you can just multiply the area of the first triangle by two: 2A1 = 2(½bh) = 2(½ab) = ab.

The total area of the trapezoid is : A1 + A2 = ab + ½c2

You multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the ½: (a2 + 2ab + b2) = 2ab + c2

You subtract out the 2ab: a2 + b2 = c2.

Then what is left is the proof: a2 + b2 = c2

A certain number exceeds 18 by as much as 44 exceed the number. What is the number?

asambeis [7]

Answer:

x=31 is the required number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented as "x".

Then, According to the statement given, "x" exceeds by as much as 44 exceed the number, then the equation can be written as:

⇒ $x-18=44-x$

⇒ $x+x=44+18$

⇒ $2x=62$

⇒ $x=31$

Hence, the required number is x =31.

Which of the following is true about a parallelogram? A. Opposite angles of a parallelogram are not congruent. B. Parallelograms

mafiozo [28]

Answer: The option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that intersects another line segment and separates it into two equal parts is called a bisector.

In a quadrangle, the line connecting two opposite corners is called a diagonal. We will show that in a parallelogram, each diagonal bisects the other diagonal.

Problem

ABCD is a parallelogram, and AC and BD are its two diagonals. Show that AO = OC and that BO = OD

Strategy

Once again, since we are trying to show line segments are equal, we will use congruent triangles. And here, the triangles practically present themselves. Let’s start with showing that AO is equal in length to OC, by using the two triangles in which AO and OC are sides: ΔAOD and ΔCOB.

There are all sorts of equal angles here that we can use. Several pairs of (equal) vertical angles, and several pairs of alternating angles created by a transversal line intersecting two parallel lines. So finding equal angles is not a problem. But we need at least one side, in addition to the angles, to show congruency.

As we have already proven, the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in size, giving us our needed side.

Once we show that ΔAOD and ΔCOB are congruent, we will have the proof needed, not just for AO=OC, but for both diagonals, since BO and OD are alsocorresponding sides of these same congruent triangles.

ABCD is a parallelogram

Given

AD || BC

From the definition of a parallelogram

AD = BC Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in size

∠OBC ≅ ∠ODA Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, ∠OCB ≅ ∠OAD Alternate Interior Angles Theorem,

ΔOBC ≅ ΔODA

Angle-Side-Angle

BO=OD Corresponding sides in congruent triangles AO=OC Corresponding sides in congruent triangles.

With one method of a procedure called acceptance sampling, a sample of items is randomly selected without replacement and the en

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

$P = 0.1447$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 7000$ -- total

$d = 180$ --- defective

$r = 6$ --- selected

Required

The probability of rejecting the batch

This means that at least one of the selected piece is defected.

So, we first calculate the probability that all the selected piece are accepted.

So, we have:

$Pr = \frac{7000 - 180}{7000} * \frac{6999 - 180}{6999}* \frac{6998 - 180}{6998}* \frac{6997 - 180}{6997}* \frac{6996 - 180}{6996}* \frac{6995 - 180}{6995}$

The denominator decreases by 1 because it is a probability without replacement; 180 is subtracted from the numerator to represent the number of non-defective CDs

So, we have:

$Pr = \frac{6820}{7000} * \frac{6819}{6999}* \frac{6818}{6998}* \frac{6817}{6997}* \frac{6816}{6996}* \frac{6815}{6995}$

$Pr = 0.8553$

Using the complement rule, the probability that the batch will be rejected is:

$P = 1 - 0.8553$

$P = 0.1447$
