An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, and a base, b. The perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 inches, so the equa

tion to solve is 2a + b = 15.7. If we recall that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side, which lengths make sense for possible values of b? Select two options.

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that an isosceles triangle has two sides of length a and base b, then the perimeter of an isosceles triangle= Sum of all the sides

⇒a+a+b=15.7

⇒2a+b=15.7

⇒b=15.7-2a

Also, we know that he sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side that means,

⇒a+a>b

⇒2a>b

Now, substituting the value of b in the above equation, we get

2a>15.7-2a

⇒4a>15.7

⇒a>3.925

Now, b=15.7-2a, therefore b=15.7-2(3.925)=15.7-7.85=7.85

Thus possible value of b is 7.85.

The Eco Pulse survey from the marketing communications firm Shelton Group asked individuals to indicate things they do that make
Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) There is a probability of 42% that the person will feel guilty for only one of those things.

b)There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.

I say that we have two sets:

-Set A, for those people that will feel guilty about wasting food.

-Set B, for those people that will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

The most important information is that there is a .12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons. It means that P(A \cap B) = .12.

The problem also states that there is a .39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food. It means that P(A) = 0.39. The probability of a person feeling guilty for only wasting food is PO(A) = .39-.12 = .27.

Also, there is a .27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. So, the probability of a person feeling guilty for only leaving the lights on is PO(B) = 0.27-0.12 = 0.15.

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room?

This is the probability that the person feels guilt for only one of those things, so:

P = PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.27 + 0.15 = 0.42 = 42%

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

The sum of all the probabilities is always 1. In this problem, we have the following probabilies

- The person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons: P

- The person will feel guilty for only one of those things:  PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.42

- The person will feel guilty for both reasons: PB = 0.12

So

`P + 0.42 + 0.12 = 1

P = 1-0.54

P = 0.46

There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
