A carpenter added a diagonal brace to a gate. The gate is 80 inches wide and 60 inches tall. How long is the brace?

<span>We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the diagonal (hypotenuse) length of the gate. This theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the leg lengths and c is the hypotenuse length. In this case, 80^2 + 60^2 = 6400 + 3600 = 10,000 = c^2. Taking the square root, we see that the length of the brace is 100 inches (thus making the gate a standard 3-4-5 right triangle).</span>

Help for both a and b
kipiarov [429]

Hi!

Remember that an x-intercept is a point in which the line touches the x-axis (the horizontal line). And, the y-intercept is a point in which the line touches the y-axis (the vertical/up and down line)

-----------------

For A)

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,1)

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (3,0)

For B)

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,0)

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (0,0) !

*both the x and y axis meet at the origin. So, a line that goes through the origin (0,0) is intersecting with BOTH the x and y-axis.

Hope I helped! Comment if you have any questions or concerns.

Seven different names were put into a hat. A name chosen 100 times. And the name Michael is chosen 9 times. What is experimental
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Experimental probability = 9 / 100

Theoretical probability = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability of an event is written as :

P = number of times event occur / total number of trials

Experimental probability is based on the outcome of an experiment that has taken place.

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcome of an event.

P = number of expected or required outcomes / total possible outcomes

Experimental probability of choosing the name Michael is :

Number of times Michael is chosen / number of trials

Experimental probability = 9 / 100 = 0.09

Theoretical probability of choosing michael:

Number of names in hat = 7

Number of names called Michael in hat = required outcome = 1

P = 1 / 7

If the number of names in hat was different from 7, then the theoretical probability will change.

Also, if the number of times a name was chosen was different from 100, then number of trials will also change and hence, the experimental probability.
