An architect planned to construct two similar stone pyramid structures in a park. The figure below shows the front view of the p

yramids in her plan, but there is an error in the dimensions:
Which of the following changes should she make to the length of side CB to correct her error?

Change the length of side CB to 13 feet
Change the length of side CB to 11 feet
Change the length of side CB to 8 feet
Change the length of side CB to 8.5 feet

I might be wrong, but I think the answer is C) Change the length of side CB to 8 feet. 
Hopefully that helped! :)

Since the architect wants similar figures, it comes from the definition of similar triangles that the ratio of corresponding sides (all 3 sides) should be equal.

So,

\frac{7.5}{6}= \frac{5}{4}= \frac{10}{CB}.

Let's find CB.

\frac{7.5}{6} =\frac{5}{4}= \frac{10}{CB}\\ 1.25=1.25=\frac{10}{CB}\\ 1.25=\frac{10}{CB}\\ 1.25CB=10\\CB=\frac{10}{1.25}\\ CB=8

So, CB should be 8. Option C is correct.


ANSWER: Change the length of side CB to 8 feet

You have a bag full of apples. There are 12 Jonathan (red), 6 Granny Smith (green), and 3 Golden Delicious (yellow) apples in th
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The total number of apples is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Number of green apples = 4

P ( that all three apples are green)

= (limit 4 and 3) / (limit 17 and 3)

= 4! / 3!(4−3)!

= 17! / 3!(17−3)!

= 1 / 170

= 0.005

(b)

Number of red apples = 8

P(that all three apple are green)

=(limit 8 and 3) / (limit 17 and 3)

= 8! / 3!(8−3)!

= 17! / 3!(17−3)!

= 7 / 85

= 0.082

Now,

P(that no three apple is red)= 1−0.082 = 0.918

c)

P(of selecting 4 apple that contain at least 2 red apples)

= (limit 8 and 2) /( limit 17 and 2) X (2/15) + (limit 8 and 3) /(limit 17 / 3) X (1/14)

= (7/34) × (2/15) + (7/85) × (1/14)

= 0.027 + 0.058

= 0.085

d)

P(that the second apple selected is yellow given that the first apple is red)

= (limit 5 and 1) / ( limit 16 and 1)

= 5! / 1!(5−1)!

= 16! / 1!(16−1)!

= 5 /16

= 0.3125

if thrice my age 6 years ago be subtracted from twice my present age the result is present age then my present age is what​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age = x

Age 6 years ago = x - 6

Thrice my age 6 years ago = 3*(x -6) =3x - 3*6 = 3x - 18

Twice my present age = 2 *x = 2x

Thrice my age 6 years ago be subtracted from

twice my present age  = 2x -  (3x - 18)

2x - (3x - 18) = x

2x - 3x  + 18 = x                  

    -x  + 18 = x              {Add x to both sides}

             18 = x + x

              18 = 2x              {Divide both sides by 2}

           18/2 = x

x = 9 years

Help please with this question!!!
Vesnalui [34]
1 - AB is the Hypotenuse, BC is the opposite, AC is the adjacent (next to)

AB is the Hypotenuse because it is across from the right angle. BC is the opposite because its on the opposite side of the angle. AC is next to (adjacent) of the angle.

2 - the ratio is 30/1 = 5/b

This is because S O/H C A/H T O/A or Sohcahtoa.

S is the sine, which is Opposite over Hypotenuse. C is the cosine, which is Adjacent over Hypotenuse, and T is tangent which is Opposite over Adjacent. So look at what we labeled, we need to find the adjacent side, or b, and we have the opposite side, 5. So what has opposite and adjacent? Tangent.

So we do tan(30)/1 = 5/b, and cross multiply.

Now the last question. Hypotenuse is always C. But the other two values don’t matter where you put them on the left side since its multiplication. So its 7.7^2 * 6^2 = c^2 which is 59.29 * 36 = C^2.
2134.44 = c^2. Square root sides so it is 46.2 = c. The answer is 46.2
