Answer: thanks for the points! i know the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to use Pythagoras’ Theorem.
A² + B² = c² and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
The height of the tower (5 feet) is A and the distance from the end of the cable and the base of the tower (12 feet) is B. The length of ONE cable is c. So:
A² + B² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c. This is the length of one cable.
3 x 13 = 39 therefore the total length of the cables is 39 feet.

Answer:
9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
"At the same rate" means time and wages are proportional.
time/wages = t/$108 = (13 h)/$156
t = 108(13 h)/156 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . units of dollars cancel
t = 9 h
Chang would have to work 9 hours to make $108.
Answer:
1) It is geometric
a) In each trial you can obtain 11 or obtain something else (and fail)
b) Throw 2 dices and watch if the result is 11 or not
c) The probability of success is 1/18
2) It is not geometric, but binomal.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) This is effectively geometric. When you see the sum of 2 dices, you can separate the result in two different outcomes: when the sum is 11 and when the sum is different from 11.
A trial is constituted bu throwing 2 dices and watching if the sum of the dices is 11 or not.
In order to get 11 you need one 5 in one dice and 1 six in another. As a consecuence, you have 2 favourable outcomes (a 5 in the first dice and a 6 in the second one or the other way around). The total amount of outcomes is 6² = 36, and all of them have equal probability. This means that the probability of success is 2/36 = 1/18.
2) This is not geometric distribution. The geometric distribution meassures how many tries do you need for one success. The amount of success in 10 trias follows a binomial distribution.
