Answer:

Expected number of books = 1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected number of books, E(x) = ∑xp(x)

∑ = Summation

x = books

p(x) = probability of purchasing a book

E(x) = (0*0.4) + (1*0.2) + (2*0.4)

E(x) = 0 + 0.2 + 0.8 = 1.0

In ΔABC, m∠B = m∠C. The angle bisector of ∠B meets AC at point H and the angle bisector of ∠C meets AB at point K. Prove that BH
solniwko [45]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔABC, m∠B = m∠C.

BH is angle B bisector, then by definition of angle bisector

∠CBH ≅ ∠HBK

m∠CBH = m∠HBK = 1/2m∠B

CK is angle C bisector, then by definition of angle bisector

∠BCK ≅ ∠KCH

m∠BCK = m∠KCH = 1/2m∠C

Since m∠B = m∠C, then

m∠CBH = m∠HBK = 1/2m∠B = 1/2m∠C = m∠BCK = m∠KCH   (*)

Consider triangles CBH and BCK. In these triangles,

  • ∠CBH ≅ ∠BCK (from equality (*));
  • ∠HCB ≅ ∠KBC, because m∠B = m∠C;
  • BC ≅CB by reflexive property.

So, triangles CBH and BCK are congruent by ASA postulate.

Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, hence

BH ≅ CK.

Answer:

x = 88/45

Step-by-step explanation:

square of tangent segment = produce of entire secant and segment of secant outside circle

(GH)² = GS × GW

(13)² = 9(5x + 9)

169 = 45x + 81

45x = 88

x = 88/45

What is the answer to this word problem
Alenkinab [10]
Blankets:$32
Towels:$16

You set it up as a system of equations.
I made the blankets x and the towels y.
You get 2 equations:
21x+21y=1008

21x+ 23y= 1040

I solved the system by solving the second equation for 21 x
21x= 1040-23y
And plugged it into the first equation
1040-23y+21y=1008
Y= 16

Then I plugged 16 in for y:
21x+23(16)=1040
X=32
