Answer:

The no. of traditional type birdhouses are 4 and the no. of lavish type birdhouses are 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of traditional type birdhouses

The more traditional type takes 4 pieces of wood and 2 hours to build.

One house requires wood = 4

x houses requires wood = 4x

One house requires time = 2 hours

x houses requires time = 2x

Let y be the no. of lavish type birdhouses

The more lavish type takes 10 pieces of wood and 7 hours to build.

One house requires wood = 10

y houses requires wood = 10y

One house requires time = 7 hours

y houses requires time = 7y

Now we are given that he has a total of 46 pieces of wood and 29 hours to work,

So, equations becomes : 4x+10y = 46\\2x+7y=29

Plot these equations on graph

4x+10y = 46 ---Blue line

2x+7y=29  ---Green line

Refer the attached figure

The intersection point provides the solution

Intersection point : (4,3)

So, x = 4 and y = 3

Hence the no. of traditional type birdhouses are 4 and the no. of lavish type birdhouses are 3.

To decide whether two triangles are similar is it enough to know that two pairs of corresponding angle measures in the triangle
Gnoma [55]
No, to decide whether two triangles are similar it is not enough to know that two pairs of corresponding angle measures in the triangle are equal.

That is because two triangles are similar if the only difference is size.

So, when you know that two corresponding angles are equal, the third angle is also (necessarily) equal. This is, the all three angles are equal and it could be the case that also the three corresponding side lengths are equal, which means that the triangles are not similar but congruent.

You and your coworker together make $ 16 per hour. You know your coworker earns 10 percent more than you do. Your hourly wage is
Arisa [49]

First you must find out how much your coworker makes. Since they make 10% more than you, you need to multiply your wage by 1.1, since 0.1 is 10% of 1. After doing this, find the percentage difference between your new wage and their wage. Your wage increase of 57.49% is computed by

<span>100<span>(<span><span>12−7.62</span>7.62</span>)</span></span> so think in terms of this to find the percentage difference between your coworker's and your wage.

If you flip a fair coin 4 times, what is the probability that you will get exactly 2 tails
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is <u>3/8</u> NOT 50%</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this problem is to figure out how many ways you can get exactly 222 tails, then divide this by the total number of outcomes you could have gotten. Since every outcome has equal probability, this will be the probability that you will get exactly 2 tails.

How many outcomes are there where you get exactly 2 tails? Try thinking of each outcome as a 4-letter word, where the first letter is "H" if the first coin toss was heads and "T" if it was tails, and so on.

So, the number of outcomes with exactly 2 tails is the same as the number of these words which have 2 T's and 2 H's.

How many of these are there? If we treat all the letters as unique, we'll find that there are 4! different arrangements, overcounting 2! times for every time we only switch the T's around, and 2! times for every time we only switch the H's around.

So, there are <u>4!/2!2!</u> = 6  

​  

<u>4!/2!2!</u>= 6 different outcomes where you get exactly 2 tails.

Altogether, there are 2^4 = 16 total possible outcomes.

So, the probability that you will get exactly 2 tails is <u>6/16</u> = 3/8
