Answer:

base could either be 12 or 5 and the height could be the other

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = bh/2

30 = bh/2

60/bh

base could either be 12 or 5 and the height could be the other

(12)(5)/2 = 30

Answer: 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is given by :-

\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ base * height}

Given : The area of a triangle = 30 square units

The length of the base of the triangle = 12 units

Let h be the height of the triangle .

Then , we have

30=\dfrac{1}{2}12\times h\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\dfrac{30}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=5\text{ units}

Hence, the height of a triangle = 5 units

Answer:

The valid value of x is x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral must be equal to 360 degrees

so

(7x^{2}-24x)+100+(24-46x)+(3x^{2}+56)=360

solve for x

Combine like terms

10x^{2}-70x+180=360

10x^{2}-70x-180=0

Divide by 10 both sides

x^{2}-7x-18=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

x^{2}-7x-18=0

so

a=1\\b=-7\\c=-18

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-(-7)(+/-)\sqrt{-7^{2}-4(1)(-18)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{7(+/-)\sqrt{121}} {2}

x=\frac{7(+/-)11} {2}

x=\frac{7(+)11} {2}=9

x=\frac{7(-)11} {2}=-2

Remember that

The measure of the interior angle cannot be a negative number

For x=9

we have that the measure of one interior angle of quadrilateral  is

24-46x

substitute the value of x

24-46(9)=-390\°

therefore

The value of x=9 cannot be a solution

For x=-2

The measure of the interior angles are

(7(-2)^{2}-24(-2))=76\°\\100\°\\(3(-2)^{2}+56)=68\°\\24-46(-2)=116\°

therefore

The valid value of x is x=-2

a certain virus infects one in every 600 people. a test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 90% of the time if the
Alona [7]
  1. the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive is  0.0151.
  2. the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they have tested negative is  0.9999

P(A) = 1/600 = 0.0017

P(B) = 0.9 * 0.0017 + 0.1 * (1 - 0.0017) = 0.1014

A) P (has the virus | tested positive) = P (tested positive | has the virus) ×  

                                                          P (has the virus)/ P (tested positive)

                                                         = 0.9 × 0.0017/0.1014  

                                                         = 0.0151

B) P (does not have the virus | tested negative) = P (tested negative | does not have the virus) × P (does not have the virus)/ P (tested negative)

= (1 - 0.1) *× (1 - 0.0017)/ (1 - 0.1014)  

= 0.9999

Probability is the department of mathematics regarding numerical descriptions of ways likely an occasion is to occur, or how possibly it's far that a proposition is genuine. The possibility of an occasion varies between zero and 1, wherein, roughly speaking, 0 suggests the impossibility of the occasion and 1 shows certainty. The better the possibility of an event, the more likely it is that the event will arise.  

A simple instance is the tossing of an honest (unbiased) coin. since the coin is truthful, the 2 results ("heads" and "tails") are both equally likely; the possibility of "heads" equals the chance of "tails"; and considering the fact that no different results are feasible, the possibility of both "heads" or "tails" is 1/2 (that could additionally be written as 0.5 or 50%).
