Proportional relationships: A relationship between two equal ratios. Proportions are the comparison of two equal ratios. Therefore, proportionalrelationships are relationships between two equal ratios. For example, oranges are sold in a bag of 5 for $2. The ratio of oranges to their cost is 5:2 or.In mathematics, two variables are proportional if a change in one is always accompanied by a change in the other, and if the changes are always related by use of a constant multiplier. The constant is called the coefficient of proportionality or proportionality constant.

In right triangle ABC, D is the midpoint of the hypotenuse AB. If AD=(5x + 1)cm and CD=(2x + 10)cm, find AB

Can you confirm is hypotenuse should be AC...

ADB would make another right triangle if I am correct and you could use the pyth theorem to determine AB

Bill and George go target shooting together. Both shoot at atarget at the same time. Suppose Bill hits the target withprobabilit

german

Answer: (a) $\frac{2}{9}$ (b) $\frac{6}{41}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) P( Bill hitting the target) = 0.7 P( Bill not hitting the target) = 0.3

P( George hitting the target) = 0.4 P(George not hitting the target) = 0.6

Now the chances that exactly one shot hit the target is = 0.7 x 0.6 + 0.4 x 0.3

= 0.54

Chances that George hit the target is = 0.4 x 0.3 = 0.12

So given that exactly one shot hit the target, probability that it was George's shot = $\frac{0.12}{0.54}$ = $\frac{2}{9}$ .

(b) The numerator in the second part would be the same as of (a) part which is 0.12.

The change in the denominator will be that now we know that the target is hit so now in denominator we include the chance of both hitting the target at same time that is 0.4 x 0.7 and the rest of the equation is same as above i.e.

Given that the target is hit,probability that George hit it = $\frac{0.4\times 0.3}{0.7\times 0.6 +0.4\times 0.3+0.4\times 0.7}$ = = $\frac{6}{41}$
