Answer:

1/3 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tanya prepared 4 different letters to be sent to 4 different addresses.

To solve this we can do the following:

The probability that the 1st letter is in the right envelope is = \frac{1}{4}

The probability that the 2nd letter is in the wrong envelope is = \frac{2}{3}

The probability that the 3rd letter is in the wrong envelope is = \frac{1}{2}

The probability that the 4th letter is in the wrong envelope is = 1

So, the answer becomes: \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}\times1 = \frac{1}{12}

As we need 4 correct letters in the envelope, we will multiply by 4:

\frac{1}{12}\times4=\frac{1}{3}

Find the value of each measure.
zloy xaker [14]

The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.

15x + 7 = 23x - 17

7 = 8x - 17

8x = 24

x = 3

Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52

Hope this helps!
