Look at it this way:
When you flip a coin, the probability of it landing with EITHER side showing
is 100%.
This leads us to the rule ...
The sum of the probabilities of
all possible outcomes is 100%.
For a coin: (probability of heads) plus (probability of tails) = 100%.
That just says: We're 100% sure that the coin will land with either
heads or tails up.
An "honest" coin gets heads 50% of the time and tails the other 50%.
But if the coin is all bent and squashed and has a feather stuck to
one side and a wad of gum on the other side so that it comes up
heads 70% of the time, then the coin isn't 'honest'. But it still has to
land EITHER heads OR tails, so the sum of the probabilities is still 100%.
So the probability of heads is 30%.
Answer:
coincident
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is 3 times the second equation, so describes exactly the same line. The lines are "coincident".
(27 mi/hr) x (1 hr / 60 min) = (27/60) (mi/min) = 0.45 mile/minute
Using the same kind of calculation, we can see
that the world record times for other distances
correspond to:
200 meters 23.31 mph
400 meters 20.72 mph
800 meters 17.73 mph
1000 meters 16.95 mph
1500 meters 16.29 mph
1 mile (1,609 meters) 16.13 mph
2,000 meters 15.71 mph
10,000 meters 14.18 mph
30,000 meters 12.89 mph
Marathon (42,195 meters) 13.10 mph
Except for that one figure at the end, for the marathon,
which I can't explain yet and I'll need to investigate further,
it's pretty obvious that a human being, whether running for
his life or for a gold medal, can't keep up the pace indefinitely.
Answer:
No, a regular pentagon does not tessellate.
In a tessellation, all the angles at a point have to add to 360 degrees, as this means there is no overlap, nor are there gaps. To find the interior angle sum of a pentagon, we use the following formula:
(n-2)*180 (where n is the number of sides)
We plug in the number of sides (5) and get:
Angle sum = (5–2)*180
Angle sum = 3*180
Angle sum = 540
Regular pentagons have equal sides and equal angles, so to find the size of the interior angle of a pentagon, we divide the angle sum by 5 and get 108 degrees for every angle.
As I said before, the angles at a point need to add up to 360, so we need to know if 108 divides evenly into 360. If it does, the shape tessellates, and, if it doesn’t, the shape does not.
360/108 = 3.33333…
This means that a regular pentagon does not tessellate.
Hope this helps!
