Answer:

It could be a trapezoid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelograms require two sets of parallel sides that are congruent to each other. Congruency doesn't mean that it's parallel though, it just means the length is the same.

I hope this helped!

The table shows all the possible outcomes for spinning the pointer of the spinner with four equal sized sections labeled 1–4 and

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of spinners here and the outcome of them is independent. That means

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

There are two odd numbers out of four numbers in the first spinner. The chance of odd number will be:

P(odd) = 2/(2+2)= 1/2= 50%

There are four letters and the desired outcome is C. The chance for C will be:

P(C)= 1/4= 25%

Then the chance will be:

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

P(odd number,C) =50% * 25% = 12.5%

A 10-foot ladder is to be placed Against the side of the building. The base of the latter must be placed in an angle of 72° With

12345 [234]

Answer:

Distance of foot of ladder from building: 37.2 inches

Distance of top of ladder from building's base: 114 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the figure attached in the answer area.

A right angled triangle $\triangle ABC$ is formed by the ladder with the building where hypotenuse is the length of ladder.

Hypotenuse, AC = 10 foot

Also, we are given that angle made by the base of ladder with the ground is $72^\circ$ .

We have to find AB and BC.

$\angle BAC = 72^\circ$

Using trigonometric functions:

$cos \theta= \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\cos 72^\circ= \dfrac{AB}{AC}\\\Rightarrow 0.309 = \dfrac{AB}{AC}\\\Rightarrow AB = 10 \times 0.309\\$\approx$ 3.1 foot\\$\approx$ 37.2 inches$

$sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\Rightarrow sin72^\circ = \dfrac{BC}{AC}\\\Rightarrow 0.95 = \dfrac{BC}{AC}\\\Rightarrow AB = 10 \times 0.95\\$\approx$ 9.5 foot\\$\approx$ 114 inches$

Distance of foot of ladder from building: 37.2 inches

Distance of top of ladder from building's base: 114 inches
