Answer:
Hello!
After reviewing the problem you have provided I have come up with the correct solution:
x= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
To come up with this solution you have to first realize that the smaller triangle is a proportionally scaled down version of the entire larger triangle! (I will show what I mean in a linked picture)
So after we have realized that the smaller triangle is a scaled down version of the larger one, we can then create a formula or ratio to calculate the value of the missing side of the larger triangle (being x+6=??).
To create the formula/ratio I divided 10inches by 4inches. Thus the larger triangle is 2.5 times larger than the smaller one.
I then use this ratio to figure out the missing length of the larger triangle by doing:
6inches x 2.5 = 15inches.
I then inputed the 15inches into the formula of the missing side:
x+6=15
Subtracted 6 from both sides to simplify, and came up with the solution!
x=9
Let me know if this helps!
Answer:
(b)0.56
(c)0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)The tree diagram is attached.
P(Ben Fails)=1-0.8=0.2
P(Tom Fails)=1-0.7=0.3
(b)Probability that both will pass their driving test.
P(both will pass)=0.8 X 0.7 =0.56
(c)Probability that only one of them will pass their driving test.
P(Tom Bass, Ben Fails OR Ben Pass, Tom Fails)
=(0.7 X 0.2)+(0.8 X 0.3)
=0.14+0.24
=0.38
