The answer is 18. The two sides are the same length, so you set the two sides equal to each other and solve for x. After finding x, you plug in the number into the base expression and you get the base length.

Suppose that 43% of a town's population have blue eyes, 46% have blonde hair, and 24% have both blue eyes and blonde hair. What
Varvara68 [4.7K]

We need to find the probability of the event:

having blue eyes or blond hair

This event is the union of the events:

A: having blue eyes.

B: having blond hair.

So, we need to find the probability P(A ∪ B). In order to do so, we can use the following formula:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

We know that the probability of the intersection of A and B (having both) is

P(A ∩ B) = 24%

Also:

P(A) = 43%

P(B) = 46%

Then, using those values into the above formula, we find:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A ∪ B) = 43% + 46% - 24%

P(A ∪ B) = (43 + 46 - 24)%

P(A ∪ B) = 65%

What is the answer to this
Xelga [282]
Lateral area of triangular prism = (a+b+c)h where a, b and c are the sides of the triangular base, h is the height.

LA= (a+b+c)h=
a=4
b=6
c=?
c=9
h=8

c=√6²+4²=√80 or approximately 9

you should get An Area= (4+6+√80)8

LA= 80+8√80
