Statement 1: WXYZ is a kite

Reason 1: Given

Statement 2: WX = XY and WZ = YZ

Reason 2: Definition of a kite

Statement 3: XZ = XZ

Reason 3: Reflexive property

Statement 4: Triangle WXZ = Triangle YXZ

Reason 4: SSS Congruence

Statement 5: Angle W = Angle Y

Reason 5: CPCTC

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extra notes:

* A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent congruent sides. In this case, WX and XY is one pair of congruent sides that are adjacent (ie next to each other). So that's why WX = XY. Similarly, WZ = YZ is the second pair of adjacent congruent sides.

* Draw in a segment from point X to point Z to help form two triangles. The two triangles are congruent as proven in statement 4. One triangle is a reflection over the line XZ to get the other triangle.

* Due to this reflection, angle W reflects over line XZ to get angle Y. Proving that angle W = angle Y

* SSS means "side side side", basically saying "you use three pairs of congruent sides to prove two triangles congruent".

* The acronym CPCTC stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent"

Explain how multiplying with 6 is like multiplying with 3.
xenn [34]
 6 divided by 2 equals 3. Multiplying with 6 is like multiplying like 3 because multiplying by 6 is equal to multiplying by 3 then multiplying that answer by 2, and getting the same answer as you would when you multiply by 6.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

P(number greater than 3) = \frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

The  Probability of  getting a number greater than 3  means the possibility of getting 4  or 5 or 6

That is

P(number greater than 3) =  P(getting 4)  +  P(getting 5) + P(getting 6)

On substituting the values from the table ,

we get

P(number greater than 3)  = \frac{2}{12} +  \frac{2}{12} + \frac{3}{12}

P(number greater than 3) = \frac{7}{12}

Thus if the number cube is tossed once, P(number greater than 3) is  \frac{7}{12}
