Really, we don't need to use that much math--we can use logic instead. Since the two congruent sides must be longer than 30in, the total has to be greater than 60in (the longest side plus the congruent sides.) So for our answer, we want the smallest total that is above sixty, which in this case is 72.44in.
Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :) I can explain the real math if you want, it was just unnecessary here.
The theoretical probability of rolling a three would be 1/6.
1/6 expressed as a decimal would be 0.17.
5.04 divided by 2 =y
x=number of ponds for any equation you make up
Hey there!
2(p + 1) + 8(p - 1) = 5p
2(p) + 2(1) + 8(p) + 8(-1) = 5p
2p + 2 + 8p - 8 = 5p
10p - 6 = 5p
SUBTRACT 5p to BOTH SIDES
10p - 6 - 5p = 5p - 5p
SIMPLIFY IT!
5p - 6 = 0
ADD 6 to BOTH SIDES
5p - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6
CANCEL out: -6 + 6 because it gives you 0
KEEP: 0 + 6 because it helps solve for the p-value
5p = 0 + 6
5p = 6
DIVIDE 5 to BOTH SIDES
5p/5 = 6/5
CANCEL out: 5/5 because it gives you 1
KEEP: 6/5 because gives you the result of the p-value
SIMPLIFY IT!
p = 6/5
Therefore, your answer is: p = 6/5
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
