Answer:

a) \frac{5}{6}

b) \frac{1}{6}

c) \frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total possible outcomes when a dice is rolled twice

(1,1) , (1,2) , (1,3) , (1,4) , (1,5) , (1,6)

(2,1) , (2,2) , (2,3) , (2,4) , (2,5) , (2,6)

(3,1) , (3,2) , (3,3) , (3,4) , (3,5) , (3,6)

(4,1) , (4,2) , (4,3) , (4,4) , (4,5) , (4,6)

(5,1) , (5,2) , (5,3) , (5,4) , (5,5) , (5,6)

(6,1) , (6,2) , (6,3) , (6,4) , (6,5) , (6,6)

here total number of possible outcomes is 36

now,

P (Event ) = \frac{\textup{Number of favorable outcomes of an Event}}{\textup{Total possible outcomes}}  

a) P( die shows a different number on each toss )

Favorable outcomes = (1,2) , (1,3) , (1,4) , (1,5) , (1,6) , (2,1) , (2,3) , (2,4) , (2,5) , (2,6), (3,1) , (3,2) ,  (3,4) , (3,5) , (3,6) , (4,1) , (4,2) , (4,3) ,  (4,5) , (4,6) , (5,1) , (5,2) , (5,3) , (5,4) ,  (5,6) , (6,1) , (6,2) , (6,3) , (6,4) , (6,5)

number of Favorable outcomes = 30

thus,

P( die shows a different number on each toss ) = \frac{30}{36}=\frac{5}{6}

b) P( The sum of the dots showing is greater than or equal to 10 )

Favorable outcomes = (4,6) , (5,5) , (5,6) , (6,4) , (6,5) , (6,6)

number of Favorable outcomes = 6

P( The sum of the dots showing is greater than or equal to 10 )

= \frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}

c) P(  total score is less than 4 )

Favorable outcomes = (1,1) , (1,2) , (1,3) , (2,1)

number of Favorable outcomes = 4

P(  total score is less than 4 ) = \frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}

Solve similar triangles solve for x can someone answer please help
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC & ΔADE are similar triangles

\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}\\\\\frac{12}{4}=\frac{12}{x}\\

Cross multiply,

12*x = 12*4

x=12*\frac{4}{12}\\

x = 1 * 4

x = 4

The map below shows the length of a proposed land bridge at Phil Hardberger Park. The length of the land bridge is represented b
anastassius [24]

Answer:

<h3>A. 50 yards.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates of the length of PH as P(2,55)  and H(32, 15), to get the actual length of the land bridge from P to H, we will use the formula for calculating the distance between two points.

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

PH = √(32-2)²+(15-55)²

PH = √(30)²+(-40)²

PH = √900+1600

PH = √2,500

PH = 50

Hence the actual length of the land bridge from P to H to the nearest yard is 50 yards.
