Answer: Infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a triangle the sum of all the interior angles must be 180°.

The given angles 50º, 90º and 40º

The sum of the angles 50º+ 90º + 40º= 180°

Thus, a triangle is possible with the given measurement.,

Let there is another triangle with the given angles, then by AAA similarity criteria they are similar.

Similarly, all the triangles with the same measurements of the angles must be similar.

Therefore, there are infinite number of triangles can be possible with angles measuring 50º, 90º, and 40º.

If the angles of the triangle are 50, 90, 40 degrees, then only one triangle can be constructed, because if you change the sides the angles would change. <span />

A new crew of painters can paint a small apartment in 12 hours. an experienced crew can paint the small apartment in 6 hours. ho

Yakvenalex [24]

This is the concept of proportionality, we are required to calculate for the number of hours two crews can use to paint the house altogether.
Here proceed as follows;
number of hours new crew can paint=12 hrs
portion of work painted by new crew in 1 hour= 1/12

number of hours experienced crew can paint=6 hours
Portion of work painted by experienced crew in 1 hour=1/6

Portion of work painted by the two crews altogether in 1 hour will be:
1/6+1/12=1/4

thus the total amount of hours that the two painters will take to paint will be:
4 hours

Which equation best represents the line?

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise over run, so 3 over 1 = 3. The y-intercept is -1, so b = -1.

The value of x-y is negative, and x and y are both positive. What can you conclude about the values of x

Stolb23 [73]

Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)

Answer: Experimental Probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical Probability is the theory behind probability. Experimental (empirical) probability is probability calculated during experiments, direct observation, experience, or practice. The empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.
