Answer:

A cage holds 6 black cats and 9 white cats, if two cats escape what is the probability of both cats being white?

Step-by-step explanation:

This involves two events, each with their own probability. Because both the first AND the second have to happen for this problem, you will MULTIPLY the wo individual probabilities.

Total cats = 15, White cats = 9

Probability first escaped cat is white = 9/15

One white cat has now escaped, so we now have Total cats = 14, White cats = 8

Probability second escaped cat is white = 8/14

Now MULTIPLY because this is an AND probability problem. (9/15)(8/14) = 72/210 = 12/35

A horse corral is situated on a triangular plot of land. Two sides of the plot are 150 feet long and they meet at an angle of 55
Brrunno [24]

Answer : d. 438.5 ft

The diagram for the given statement is attached below.

Two sides AB and AC are equal so the angle B = angle C

WE know sum of three sides of a triangle = 180

angle A + angle B + angle C = 180

55 + B + C = 180

B + C = 180 -55 = 125

B and C are equal so we divide 125 by 2

angle B = 62.5 and angle C = 62.5

Now we apply sin law

\frac{sin A}{a} = \frac{sin B}{b}

\frac{sin 55}{a} = \frac{sin 62.5}{150}

150 * sin(55) = sin(62.5) * a

122.8728066 = sin(62.5) * a

a = \frac{ 122.8728066}{sin(62.5)}

a= 138.52 feet

To find perimeter we add all the sides

150 + 150 + 138.52 = 438.52 feet
