Answer:

24, 32, 40 can be the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

40^2 = 1,600

32^2 + 24^2 = 1024 + 576 = 1,600

If the square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side length) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides then it's a right triangle

40^2 = 32^2 + 24^2

1,600 = 1,600

24, 32, 40 can be the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle

Answer:

3575880

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use Permutation method,

$nPr= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Where n is the sample of size and r the combination considered, so

$n=45\\r=4\\45P4= \frac{45!}{(45-4)!}\\45P4 = 3575880$

There is 3575880 possibilities to make leadership structures in that committee

All athletes at the Olympic games are tested for performance-enhancing steroid drug use. The imperfect test gives positive resul

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

0.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two independent events

The athlete who is being tested for drugs actually is using steroids.
The test went wrong indicating a false result.

The probability of 1) to happen is 0.04 because "4% of all registered athletes use steroids".

The probability of 2) ti happen is 0.1 because "The imperfect test gives positive results (indicating drug use) for 90% of all steroid-users"

Then the probability of 1) and 2) to happen is given by

$P=P(1)*P(2)=(0.04)(0.1)=0.004$ =0.4%

Ax+bx-c=0 x= _/(a __)

Ulleksa [173]

Ax+bx−c=0

Step 1: Add c to both sides.

ax+bx−c+c=0+c

ax+bx=c

Step 2: Factor out variable x.

x(a+b)=c

Step 3: Divide both sides by a+b.

x(a+b)a+b=ca+b

x=ca+b
