A person makes a mistake when copying information regarding a particular triangle. The copied information is as follows: Two sid

es of a triangle are the same length. The third side is 10 feet less than three times the length of one of the other sides. The perimeter of the triangle is 5 feet. What is the mistake?

Answer:

  No such triangle can exist. Any of the described relations may be in error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taken at face value, the sum of the lengths of the sides is ...

  x + x + (3x-10) = 5

  5x = 15

  x = 3

so the third side is 3·3 -10 = -1 in length. No such triangle can exist.

If one side is actually 3x-10, the perimeter must be greater than 6 2/3 and less than 40.

If the perimeter is actually 5, then the third side must be 3x-7.5 or an expression with an even smaller constant.

So, the mistake could be in copying any of the numbers, or in copying the multiplier in the description of the 3rd side. There is insufficient information to tell exactly what the mistake is.

John has a die and a coin. The die is labeled 1 through 6 and the two sides of the coin are heads and tails. The tables below sh
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

n = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcomes, while tossing a coin are 2, given as:

{Heads, Tails}

The probability of getting a heads up, while tossing the coin is:

P(Heads) = Favorable Outcome/Total Outcomes

P(Heads) = 1/2 = 0.5

Now, the total outcomes, while rolling a die are 6, given as:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

5 of these numbers are factors of 12, which are:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 6}

Thus, the probability of getting a factor of 12, while rolling a die is:

P(Factor of 12) = Favorable Outcome/Total Outcomes

P(Factor of 12) = 5/6 = 0.83

So, the probability of getting both heads and factor of 12 will be:

P(Heads and Factor of 12) = P(Heads ∪ Factor of 12)

P(Heads and Factor of 12) = P(Heads) * P(Factor of 12) = 0.5 * 0.83

P(Heads and Factor of 12) = 0.417 = 41.7%

So, for 144 trials, the number of trials in which we get heads and factor of 12, are given by:

n = P(Heads and Factor of 12) * 144

where,

n = no. of trials John would expect to roll a number on the die that is a factor of 12 and toss a coin that lands heads-up out of next 144 trials

n = 0.417 * 144

<u>n = 60</u>

What is the measure of 2?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Value of x:

{ \tt{(7x + 1) \degree + (18x + 4) \degree = 180 \degree}} \\  { \tt{25x + 5 = 180}} \\ { \tt{25x = 175}} \\ x = 7

Finding m‹2 :

{ \tt{m \angle2 = (7x + 1) \degree}} \\ { \tt{m \angle2 = (7 \times 7) + 1}} \\ { \bf{m \angle2 = 50 \degree}}
