4 out of 24 reduced to 1 out of 6 since there are 24 total buttons and 4 are blue. About 16.67%

To find a probability of an event occurring, we need to find how many outcomes are successful. Then divide that number over the total number of outcomes.

In this case, we have the cat knocking 1 button onto floor. We want that button to be blue. Because we have 4 blue buttons, we have 4 different scenarios/outcomes that are successful.

Total number of outcomes is the cat knocking any button onto the floor. Which is [/tex] 4+5+7+8=24[/tex].

When we divide the two: \frac{4}{24} = \frac{1}{6} = 0.17 is the probability of cat knocking a blue button onto the floor.

does a polygon have at least 3 straight sides and angles or is it a figure with at least three sides?
solmaris [256]
The correct answer is it is a figure with at least 3 straight sides. When you think of a square or a triangle they both have at least 3 sides that are straight. A circle doesn't have any straight sides so it is not a polygon.
You can prove that the other answer is wrong because of two things:
The definition of a polygon is a plane figure with at least three straight sides.
Also, when you think of most shapes what do they all have in common? The have at least three straight sides

PLEASE HELPPP!!!!!! Write an equation of the line passing through point P that is perpendicular to the given line.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:(d): y=ax+b (a≠0); (d1)y=-4x+13

because of (d)⊥(d1) --> a.(-4)=-1 --> a=\frac{1}{4}

(d): y=\frac{1}{4}x+b. (d) pass through  P(-1;-2) so we have

-2=(1/4).(-1)+b ---> b=\frac{-7}{4}

(d) y= \frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{-7}{4}

Could 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 6, 10, 12 be the corresponding sides of two similar triangles
boyakko [2]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal then they would be the sides of 2 similar triangles.

Calculate the ratio of corresponding sides.

\frac{6}{1.5} = 4

\frac{10}{2.5} = 4

\frac{12}{3.5} ≠ 4

Thus the sides are not the corresponding sides of similar triangles.
