Perimeter = 2(l + w) = 2(7x + 5x) = 2(12x) = 24x = 96
x = 96/24 = 4.
Therefore, length = 7 x 4 = 28 ft and width = 5 x 4 = 20ft

In right triangle ABC, ZC is a right angle, m ZA = 52, AC = 10.01, and AB = c.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The measurement of AB is 16.25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle ABC, ∠C is a right angle, m∠A = 52° , AC = 10.01, and AB = c.

We need to find the measurement of AB.

∠C is a right angle, it means AB is hypotenuse.

In a right angle triangle,

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$\cos A=\dfrac{AC}{AB}$

$\cos (52^\circ)=\dfrac{10.01}{c}$

$0.616=\dfrac{10.01}{c}$

$c=\dfrac{10.01}{0.616}$

$c=16.25$

Hence, the measurement of AB is 16.25 units.

The probability of an event is 3/10 . What are the odds of the same event?

kozerog [31]

Answer:

D. $\frac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the probability of an event is 3/10.

To find the odds of the same event we will use formula:

$\text{Odds of an event}=\frac{\text{Probability of the event}}{\text{1-Probability of the event}}$

$\text{Odds of the event}=\frac{\frac{3}{10}}{1-\frac{3}{10}}$

$\text{Odds of the event}=\frac{\frac{3}{10}}{\frac{1*10}{10}-\frac{3}{10}}$

$\text{Odds of the event}=\frac{\frac{3}{10}}{\frac{10-3}{10}}$

$\text{Odds of the event}=\frac{\frac{3}{10}}{\frac{7}{10}}$

Dividing a fraction with another fraction is same as multiplying the 1st fraction by the reciprocal of second fraction.

$\text{Odds of the event}=\frac{3}{10}\times \frac{10}{7}$

$\text{Odds of the event}=\frac{3}{7}$

Therefore, the odds of the same event is $\frac{3}{7}$ and option D is the correct choice.
