Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The three pieces of fencing he has to use are 8 feet, 15 feet, and 20 feet long. For him to be able to make a right triangle with his fence, the length of the sides must form a Pythagoras triple. To determine if the lengths make a Pythagoras triple, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent².

Therefore

20² = 8² + 15²

400 = 64 + 225 = 289

Since they are not equal, it means that they do not form Pythagoras theorem, thus,.

He will not be able to make a right triangle with his fence.

What is the P(1,6,4) on 3 rolls of a dice? show how you got the answer!
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

<h2>1/9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample space of a die S=(1,2,3,4,5,6)

and the sample size=6

the probability of obtaining the number 1 Pr(1)= 1/6= 1/6

the probability of obtaining the number 6 Pr(1)= 6/6= 1

the probability of obtaining the number 4 Pr(1)= 4/6= 2/3

Hence the probability of   P(1,6,4) = \frac{1}{6} *1 *\frac{2}{3} =\frac{2}{18} = \frac{1}{9} \\

Molodets [167]
Mode means ‘most often number’ .

The most often numbers are:
20 and 16

Reason:
20 is shown 3 times.
16 is shown 3 times.
19 is shown 2 times.
18 is shown once.

So, the two most occurring/often numbers are 20 and 16.
