The probability is the number of positive events divided by the number of total possible events. The probability searched will be the probability that the first fish selected is a goldfish times the probability that the second fish selected is also a goldfish. The probability that the first fish selected is a goldfish is the number of goldfish in the tank divided by the total number of fish, i.e. 18 / 40. The probality that the second fish selected is a goldfish is 17 / 39 (because there is one goldfish less in the thank). Then, the joint probability is (18/40)*(17/39) = 306/1560 =102/ 520 = 51/260. Then,<span> the answer is the option b. 51/260</span>

In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two straight lines in a plane that do not intersect at any point are said to be parallel. Colloquially, curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance are said to be parallel.

When lines are parallel...
Otrada [13]

Answer:

1) Congruent

2) Supplementary

3) Congruent

4) Congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The Alternate Interior Angles Theorem states that, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal , the resulting alternate interior angles are congruent .

2) Formally, we can say that if two lines are parallel, then consecutive interior angles are supplementary. We refer to this as the consecutive interior angles postulate.

3) When the lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are congruent . When two lines are cut by a transversal, the pairs of angles on one side of the transversal and inside the two lines are called the consecutive interior angles.

4) The Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem states that, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal , the resulting alternate exterior angles are congruent.

In the parallelogram shown in the picture solve for Z
deff fn [24]

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.

Since angles z and 124° are opposite angles in the parallelogram, they are congruent angles.

Therefore we have:

z=124°

Bill used candle molds, as shown, to make candles that were perfect cylinders and spheres.
34kurt

volume cylinder

=3.14×2^2×5

=62.8 cubic inches

volume sphere

=4/3×3.14×2^3

=33.49

difference between cylinder and sphere

=62.8-33.49

=29.31 cubic sphere
