You are given two coins, one unbiased and the other two-tailed (both sides are tails). Choose a coin at random and toss it once

(assume that the probability of choosing the unbiased coin is 3 4 ). Given that the result is tails, find the probability that the two-tailed coin was chosen

Answer:6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

so basically given observation is u got a tail from a biased coin.

so our favorable case is getting a tail from biased coin.

we will use the probability for it:

p1= probability of getting choosing biased coin and getting tail =probability of choosing biased coin* probability of tail = 3/4*1

p2= probability of choosing a fair coin and getting tail= probability of choosing fair coin*probability of getting tail on it = 1/4*1/2 = 1/8

so p(E)= p1/(p1+p2)= 3/4/(3/4+1/8)=7/8

All of the edges of a regular triangular pyramid have length 12. A frustum of the pyramid has height half of that of the pyramid
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

1) The volume of the frustum is 27·(√3)·h

2) The surface area the frustum is 24·h + 54·√3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A frustum of the regular triangular prism is a portion of the triangular prism

The length of the edge of the triangle prism = 12

The area of the triangular face, A = (√3/4)·a²

∴ A = (√3/4)·12² = 36·√3

When

The volume of the triangular prism, V = A·h = (36·√3)·h

By triangle proportionality theorem, the cross sectional area of the top half of the triangular prism =  (√3/4)·6² = 9·(√3)

The volume of the top half, V₂ = 9·(√3)·h

The volume of the frustum = V - V₂ = (36·√3)·h - 9·(√3)·h = 27·(√3)·h

The volume of the frustum = 27·(√3)·h

2) The surface area of the triangular side of the frustum is given as follows;

A = 36·√3- 9·(√3) = 27·(√3)

The surface area the frustum, F_A = 2×27·(√3) + 2 ×6 ×h + 12×h = 24·h + 54·√3

The surface area the frustum = 24·h + 54·√3

A certain kite has exactly one acute angle, and it measures 16 degrees. What is the maximum whole-number measure of the angle op
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

In order to do so, we need to use basic algebra. The angles in a kite add up to 360 degrees. so we form the following equation.

x + y + y + 16 = 360

x + y + y = 344 <----(360 -16)

Each letter or variable represents an angle measure. the measures of the three angles left. The 16 degrees is on the bottom of the kite and the angle opposite is the top angle. the two side angles will be the same measure that's why they are both y.

x + 2y = 344

The two side angles will be 90 or greater because there is only 1 acute angle. 90 is the smallest number that can be chosen. so we do the following.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2(90) = 344

x + 180 = 344

x = 344-180

x = 164

THE MAXIMUM WHOLE NUMBER MEASURE OF THE ANGLE OPPOSITE OF THE 16 DEGREE ACUTE ANGLE IS 164 DEGREES*
