<h3>Answer: A) 1/8</h3>

Assuming the events "baby is a boy" and "baby has blue eyes" are independent, we simply multiply the given fractions to get (1/2)*(1/4) = 1/8

Find the surface area. 17 ft 8 ft. 20 ft 15 ft Need this fast

Orlov [11]

Answer:

920 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Top: 20 * 17 = 340

Side triangles: 8 * 15 / 2 = 60

2 side triangles: 60 * 2 = 120

Back rectangle: 8 * 20 = 160

Bottom rectangle: 15 * 20 = 300

All of them: 340 + 120 + 160 + 300 = 920

What additional information could you use to show that ΔSTU ≅ ΔVTU using SAS? Check all that apply.

Ugo [173]

I believe the correct answers are:

UV = 14 ft and m∠TUV = 45°
ST = 20 ft, UV = 14 ft, and m∠UST = 98°

Or, in other words, Options A and D.

Find the solution set of the following quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

<h3> 1) $x_1=\dfrac{7+\sqrt{13}}2\,,\quad x_2=\dfrac{7-\sqrt{13}}2$ </h3><h3> 2) $x_1=-\dfrac13\,,\quad x_2=-3$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2 - 7x + 9 = 0\quad\implies\quad a=1\,,\ b = -7\,,\ c=9\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(-7)^2-4\cdot1\cdot9}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{7\pm\sqrt{49-36}}2\\\\x_1=\dfrac{7+\sqrt{13}}2\,,\quad x_2=\dfrac{7-\sqrt{13}}2$

<h3>2)</h3><h3> $3x^2 + 10x=-3\\\\3x^2+10x+3=0\quad\implies\quad a=3\,,\ b =10\,,\ c=3\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{10^2-4\cdot3\cdot3}}{2\cdot3}= \dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{100-36}}6\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-10+\sqrt{64}}6=\dfrac{-10+8}6=-\dfrac13\,,\qquad x_2=\dfrac{-10-8}6=-3$ </h3>

John wants to measure the width of a stream using the methods he has learned in geometry. He puts a stake in the ground opposite

otez555 [7]

John's method to determine the width of the stream uses the knowledge

that the tangent of 60° is approximately 1.7.

The proper sequence John would use to find the width of the stream are;

Step 1; John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points

Step 2; John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle

Step 3; On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees

Step 4; John drives a second stake in the ground

Step 5; John measures the the distance between the two stakes

Step 6; John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance.

Reasons:

The steps that can be used to measure the width of the stream are;

Step 1: Drive a stake opposite the tree on the other side of the stream.

Step 2: With the aid of a compass, walk at right angles to the line formed by the stake and the tree.

Step 3; Keep walking along the previous path till a point is reached where the angle formed between the line of site to the tree and the walk path is 60°.

Step 4; At the point where the line of sight to the tree is 60°, a second stake is driven in the ground.

Step 5; Measure the distance between the stakes that are placed in the ground.

Step 6; Given that by trigonometry, the ratio of the width of the stream to the distance between the two stakes is tan(60°) ≈ 1.7, multiply the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the width of the stream.

$\displaystyle tan(60^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Width \ of \ stream}{Distance \ between \ stakes}}$

The possible question options are;

John measures the the distance between the two stakes

John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle

John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance

John drives a second stake in the ground

On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees

John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points.
