Answer:

Answer is 19.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a trapezoid.

Its bases are 13 and 26 respectively.

Non parallel sides are congruent

To find the median that is the length of line connecting the midpoints of the non parallel sides

If we draw any one diagonal we see that median is the line connecting the mid point of two triangles with the parallel sides as bases

Hence length of median= 1/2 (base 1+base 2)

(By triangle mid point theorem)

= 1/2 (13+26)

=19.5 units

Graph the line with a slope of 2/5 that goes through (3,1)

Triss [41]

Answer:

$y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\bullet \ \ \text{Slope of line:}\ \dfrac{2}{5} \\\\ \bullet \ \text{Passes through:} \ (3, 1)$

To determine the equation of the line, we will use point slope form.

Formula of point slope form:

→ y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Where "x₁" and "y₁" are the coordinates of the point and "m" is the slope.

Substitute the coordinates and the slope:

$:\implies y - 1 = \dfrac{2}{5} (x - 3)$

Simplify the R.H.S:

$:\implies y - 1 = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5}$

Add 1 both sides:

$:\implies y - 1 + 1 = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5} + 1$

Simplify the equation:

$:\implies y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5} + \dfrac{5}{5}$

$:\implies \boxed{y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{1}{5}}$

Graphing the line on a coordinate plane:

In this case, we are already given a point (3, 1). We can simply plot the y-intercept $[\bold{\frac{-1}{5} }]$ on the coordinate plane. Then, we can draw a straight line through both points. It is suggested that you use a ruler to do so.

The ratio of boys to girls in chorus is 2:5. If there are 42 students in the chorus how many are boys

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?

The ratio of boys : girls →4:5 so you have 4 boys and 5 girls making the whole count 4+5=9 in its simplest form. So to change the ratio proportion into fraction proportion we have: boys →49 of the whole

A class has 35 students, of which 16 are male and 19 are female. If 6 of the students are selected at random to form a committee

madreJ [45]

Answer:

The probability of choosing exactly 2 male and 4 female students = $\frac{\binom{16}{2}\times \binom{19}{4}}{\binom{35}{6}}$
