M < 2 and m < 3 are supplementary angles which add up to 180 degrees.
< 2 + < 3 = 180
3x + 17 + 5x - 21 = 180
8x - 4 = 180
8x = 180 + 4
8x = 184
x = 184/8
x = 23
m < 2 = 3x + 17 = 3(23) + 17 = 69 + 17 = 86 degrees
m < 3 = 5x - 21 = 5(23) - 21 = 115 - 21 = 94 degrees
m < 1 and m < 2 are corresponding angles....they are equal.
so m < 1 = 86 degrees <===
6.66666667 should be your answer...probably should round it though
Answer:
2/15 or 0.13
Step-by-step explanation:
first you multiply 2/3 and 1/5 which gets you 2/15
Probability that both roads from a to b are blocked is the product of the individual probabilities, i.e.
P(~ab)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Similarly
P(~bc)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Probability that EITHER one or both of ab and bc are blocked is the sum of the probabilities:
P(~ab ∪ ~bc)=0.0625+0.0625=0.125
(recall that one cannot travel from a to c if either ab or bc is blocked.)
Therefore the probability that there exists an open route from a to c
= P(ac) = 1-P(~ab ∪ ~bc)
= 1 - 0.125
=0.875
