To use the AA postulate directly, you need to show that two corresponding angles are congruent. In order to show that here, you must calculate the value of one of the missing angle measures. Either of the missing angles can be found by invoking the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.
After finding either missing angle, you can show that the measures of two angles in one triangle are identical to the measures of two angles in the other triangle, hence the triangles are similar by the AA postulate.
Answer:
I think the answer is 80?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
32/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, we'll have to <em>divide</em> 4/5 <em>by</em> 1/8.
This is 4/5 / 1/8, which is 4/5 * 8.
That equals 32/5 :)
The number of students in Mr. Boggs’s homeroom is equal to b. Add the total number of students in each class and set it equal to 90.
90 = b + 1.5(b + 2) + 15 + (2b – 9)
Use the Distributive Property, and collect like terms. 90 = b + 1.5b + 3 + 15 + 2b – 9
90 = 4.5b + 9
Experimental probability = 1/5
Theoretical probability = 1/4
note: 1/5 = 0.2 and 1/4 = 0.25
=============================================
How I got those values:
We have 12 hearts out of 60 cards total in our simulation or experiment. So 12/60 = (12*1)/(12*5) = 1/5 is the experimental probability. In the simulation, 1 in 5 cards were a heart.
Theoretically it should be 1 in 4, or 1/4, since we have 13 hearts out of 52 total leading to 13/52 = (13*1)/(13*4) = 1/4. This makes sense because there are four suits and each suit is equally likely.
The experimental probability and theoretical probability values are not likely to line up perfectly. However they should be fairly close assuming that you're working with a fair standard deck. The more simulations you perform, the closer the experimental probability is likely to approach the theoretical one.
For example, let's say you flip a coin 20 times and get 8 heads. We see that 8/20 = 0.40 is close to 0.50 which is the theoretical probability of getting heads. If you flip that same coin 100 times and get 46 heads, then 46/100 = 0.46 is the experimental probability which is close to 0.50, and that probability is likely to get closer if you flipped it say 1000 times or 10000 times.
In short, the experimental probability is what you observe when you do the experiment (or simulation). So it's actually pulling the cards out and writing down your results. Contrast with a theoretical probability is where you guess beforehand what the result might be based on assumptions. One such assumption being each card is equally likely.
