Sum of complementary angles always equal to 90°.

Given, <A and <J are complementary angles. So, we can set up an equation as following:

m<A+ M<J= 90

Next step is to plug in m<A = 5x + 30 and m<J = 4x +15 in the above equation. So we will get,

5x+30+4x+15=90

(5x+4x)+(30+15)=90 Group the like terms.

9x+45=90 Combine the like terms.

9x+45-45=90-45 Subtract 45 from each sides.

9x=45 By simplifying.

$\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{45}{9}$ Divide each sides by 9.

x=5.

So, x=5.

the measurement of one angle of a right angle is 42 degrees what is the measurement of the third angle

kogti [31]

The angles of a triangle all add up to 180°. In fact, it can be generalized that the sum of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is equal to 180°(n–2).

A right triangle must have a right angle, which is equal to 90°. If the other angle is 42°, that means that we can find the third angle by subtracting 90° + 42° from 180°.

x = 180° – (90° + 42°) = 48°

Answer:

a)P=0.42

b) $n\geq 297$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a binomial distribution, since the result of each experiment admits only two categories (success and failure) and the value of both possibilities is constant in all experiments. The probability of getting k successes in n trials is given by:

$P=\begin{pmatrix}n\\ k\end{pmatrix} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n!-k!)}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$

a) we have k=2, n=10 and p=0.01:

$P=\frac{10!}{2!(10!-2!)}0.01^2(1-0.01)^{10-2}\\P=\frac{10!}{2!*8!}0.01^2(0.99)^{8}\\P=45*0.01^2(0.99)^8=0.42$

b) We have, $1-(1-p)^n=P$ , Here P is the probability that at least one particle will penetrate the shield, this probabity has to be equal or greater than 0.95. Therefore, this will be equal to subtract from the total probability, the probability that the particles do not penetrate raised to the total number of particles.

$1-0.99^n\geq 0.95\\0.99^n\leq 1-0.95\\0.99^n\leq 0.05\\n\geq 297$

Answer:

your question doesn't make sense if an electrician came to your house it would cost $40 then $55 dollars per hour but there is no way that you can solve that (40+(55•2)=150+55=205 which is already over $190 dollars
