Answer:
76 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
P=2L+2w
324=2(86)+2w
324=172+2w
324-172=2w
2w=152
w=152/2
w=76 cm
This problem can be solved in two ways, the long way, or the short way.
1. The long way
We know that the base of the triangle is along the x-axis, and the length of the base is 20.
The centre of mass is located at 2/3 of the distance from vertex (3,4) along the median, which cuts the base at (10,0).
Therefore the centre of mass is located at
x=3+(10-3)*2/3=23/3
y=4/3
2. The short way
It turns out that the centre of mass of a triangle sheet is located at the mean of the coordinates of the three vertices, i.e.
CG=((0+20+3)/3, (0+0+4)/3)=(23/3, 4/3) as before.
The correct answer is 0.48 because as you can tell the probability of it landing on heads is just a little bit below the probability of getting tails. Hope I helped!
Every point on the x-axis has y-coordinate 0.
Let y = 0, and solve for x.
y = -5x + 5
0 = -5x + 5
5x = 5
x = 1
The line crosses the x-axis at x = 1.
