Answer:
4 √6
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a few right triangles. We know that a²+b²=c², with c being the side opposite the right angle. Representing the side without a value as z, we have:
m²+z² = (8+4)² = 12²
4²+n²=z²
8²+n²=m²
We have 3 equations with 3 unknown variables, so this should be solvable. One way to find a solution is to put everything in terms of m and go from there. First, we can take n out of the equations entirely, removing one variable. We can do this by solving for it in terms of z and plugging that into the third equation, removing a variable as well as an equation.
4²+n²=z²
subtract 4²=16 from both sides
z²-16 = n²
plug that into the third equation
64 + z² - 16 = m²
48 + z² = m²
subtract 48 from both sides to solve for z²
z² = m² - 48
plug that into the first equation
m² + m² - 48 = 144
2m² - 48 = 144
add 48 to both sides to isolate the m² and its coefficient
192 = 2m²
divide both sides by 2 to isolate the m²
96 = m²
square root both sides to solve for m
√96 = m
we know that 96 = 16 * 6, and 16 = 4², so
m = √96 = √(4²*6) = 4 √6
Answer:
the probability is 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the coins are randomly selected, the probability of pulling a dime first is the number of dimes (4) divided by the total number of coins (10).
p(dime first) = 4/10 = 2/5
Then, having drawn a dime, there are 9 coins left, of which 5 are nickels. The probability of randomly choosing a nickel is 5/9.
The joint probability of these two events occurring sequentially is the product of their probabilities:
p(dime then nickel) = (2/5)×(5/9) = 2/9
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can go at this another way. You can list all the pairs of coins that can be drawn. There are 90 of them: 10 first coins and, for each of those, 9 coins that can be chosen second. Of these 90 possibilities, there are 4 dimes that can be chosen first, and 5 nickels that can be chosen second, for a total of 20 possible dime-nickel choices out of the 90 total possible outcomes.
p(dime/nickel) = 20/90 = 2/9
Solve for x.
2x + 4= 8
4x - 88 = -352
x = [?]
It would be 455 inches because you divide 5/2 and it is 2.5 then you multiply it by 182 which is 455
