We know that
<span>the probability of the Galaxy team winning is 22%------> 0.22
</span>the probability of the Galaxy team losing is 100%-22%----> 78%-----> 0.78

<span>the probability of the Komets team winning is 47%------> 0.47
</span>the probability of the Komets team losing is 100%-47%----> 53%-----> 0.53

therefore
<span>the probability of the comets losing their race and the galaxy winning theirs is
0.53*0.22=0.1166------> 11.66%

the answer is
11.66%</span>

In AOPQ, o = 700 cm, p = 840 cm and q=620 cm. Find the measure of _P to the<br> nearest degree

Westkost [7]

Given:

In triangle OPQ, o = 700 cm, p = 840 cm and q=620 cm.

To find:

The measure of angle P.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosines:

$\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}$

Using Law of Cosines in triangle OPQ, we get

$\cos P=\dfrac{o^2+q^2-p^2}{2oq}$

$\cos P=\dfrac{(700)^2+(620)^2-(840)^2}{2(700)(620)}$

$\cos P=\dfrac{490000+384400-705600}{868000}$

$\cos P=\dfrac{168800}{868000}$

On further simplification, we get

$\cos P=0.19447$

$P=\cos^{-1}(0.19447)$

$P=78.786236$

$P\approx 79$

Therefore, the measure of angle P is 79 degrees.

Two factors of -48 have a difference of 19. The factor with a

sdas [7]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number = -48

Listing out the possible factors of -48 in pairs along with their difference:

Factors ( $F_1\times F_2$ ) Difference ( $F1-F2$ ) Difference ( $F_2-F_1$ )

$-2\times 24$ -26 26

$2\times -24$ 26 -26

$-3\times 16$ -19 19

$3\times -16$ 19 -19

$-4\times 12$ -16 16

$4\times -12$ 16 -16

$6\times -8$ -14 14

$12\times -4$ 14 -14

On listing out the factors we find out that two of the pairs have difference = 19

The pairs are $-3, 16$ and $3,-16$

It is given that the factor with greater absolute value is positive. This means 16 would be positive while 3 would be negative.

So, our factors are $-3, 16$

The sum of the factors is = $-3+16=13$ (Answer)
