Answer:

  • base: 19 ft
  • height: 21 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is related to the base and height by ...

  A = 1/2bh

Filling in the given information, we can find the base from ...

  199.5 = (1/2)(b)(b+2)

  399 = b^2 +2b . . . . multiply by 2

  400 = (b +1)^2 . . . . add 1 to complete the square

  20 = b +1 . . . . . . . . take the positive square root

  19 = b . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

  h = b+2 = 21

The base of the triangle is 19 feet and the height is 21 feet.

x= 15

y=  5

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a reflective opposite side exterior angle or line you are seeing.

The probability that Aaron goes to the gym on Saturday is 0.8
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The probability that Aaron goes to the gym on exactly one of the two days is 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(Aaron goes to the gym on exactly one of the two days) be the probability that Aaron goes to the gym on exactly one of the two days.

Then

P(Aaron goes to the gym on exactly one of the two days) =

P(Aaron goes to the gym on Saturday and doesn't go on Sunday) +

P(Aaron doesn't go to the gym on Saturday and goes on Sunday)

  • If Aaron goes to the gym on Saturday the probability that he goes on Sunday is 0.3. Then If Aaron goes to the gym on Saturday the probability that he does not go on Sunday is 1-0.3 =0.7
  • Since the probability that Aaron goes to the gym on Saturday is 0.8,

P(Aaron goes to the gym on Saturday and doesn't go on Sunday) =

P(the probability that Aaron goes to the gym on Saturday)×P(If Aaron goes to the gym on Saturday the probability that he does not go on Sunday)

=0.8×0.7=0.56

  • The probability that Aaron doesn't go to the gym on Saturday is 1-0.8=0.2
  • And if Aaron does not go to the gym on Saturday the probability he goes on Sunday is 0.9.

Thus, P(Aaron doesn't go to the gym on Saturday and goes on Sunday) = P(The probability that Aaron doesn't go to the gym on Saturday)×P(if Aaron does not go to the gym on Saturday the probability he goes on Sunday)

=0.2×0.9=0.18

Then

P(Aaron goes to the gym on exactly one of the two days) =0.56 + 0.18 =0.74
