7 0

The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:

Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.

Then the probability that Carl will lose is

$Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.$

Answer: $Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.$

Geometry question on finding x.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$x =63^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

$\text{ $\overline{MN} $ and $\overline{ML}$ are tangents .}$

We know that the tangents are perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact . And here OLMN is a quadrilateral. Also we know that , the angle sum property a triangle is 360° .

According to question :-

$\implies x + 117^o + 90^o +90^o = 360^o \\\\\implies x + 297^o = 360^o \\\\\implies x = 360^o - 297^o \\\\\implies x = 63^o$

Hence the value of x is 63° .

Given: AD = BC and AD || BC

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two parallel and equal pairs of opposite sides.

From the given diagram,

Given: AD = BC and AD || BC, then:

i. AB = DC (both pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent)

ii. <ADC = < BCD and < DAB = < CBA

thus, AD || BC and AB || DC (both pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel)

iii. < BAC = < DCA (alternate angle property)

iv. Join BD, line AC and BC are the diagonals of the quadrilateral which bisect each other. The two diagonals are at a right angle to each other.

v. <ADC + < BCD + < DAB + < CBA = $360^{0}$ (sum of angles in a quadrilateral equals 4 right angles)

Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram.
