The two triangles are congruent, so corresponding parts of the two triangles are congruent.
GH is corresponding to DE, so GH=DE=17

Two 6-sided dice are rolled. what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 9?

AVprozaik [17]

What combination of numbers are needed in order to get a sum of 9?
It can be:
• First die is 6 , second die is 3
• First die is 3 , second die is 6
• First die is 4 , second die is 5
• First die is 5 , second die is 4

How many possible combinations are made? Yep, 4 possible combinations.

Recall the formula for probability
$Probability = \frac{Number of desired outcomes}{Number of all possible outcomes}$

There are 4 desired number of outcomes.
How about the total possible outcomes?
• How many numbers are possible to appear when the first die is rolled?
Answer: 6
• What about the second die?
Answer: Also 6
• Therefore, total possible outcomes = 6 * 6 = 36 outcomes

You can now solve for the probability.

$Probability = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}$ or approximately 11.11%

Use substitution to solve the system of equations.<br> x-2y=1<br> 3x-6y=3

Ivahew [28]

Change first equation
x - 2y = 1
add 2y to both side
x = 2y + 1
Plug into second equation
3(2y+1) - 6y = 3
Distributive property
6y + 3 - 6y = 3
y = 0, plug into first equation
x - 2(0) = 1, x = 1
Solution: x = 1, y = 0

When drawing the arcs in order to bisect a line segment, why must the width of the compass be more than half of the length of

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: Choice A

If the compass isn't open wide enough, then the arcs won't intersect forming the points we need to create the perpendicular bisector.
