Answer:

Jason Inherit a land with a 45% chance of having oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

 The probability of the land having oil is = P ( O) = 45 /100

The probability of the land having oil is= Q(O ) =55/100

The machine has an accuracy of 80%. This suggests that 8 out of 10 times the machine will give a wrong reading.

The probability of the correct reading is=  P(M)=80/100

The probability of the incorrect reading is=Q(M)=20/100

The case when the machine predicts there is no oil and there is indeed oil can be calculated:Probability=Probability of oil present  ×  probability of the incorrect reading

Probability=P(O) x Q(M)

Probability=45/100 x 20/100

Probability=9/100

The probability of the test predicting no oil in land and the land has oil is  0.09 or 9%

The triangles in the figure are similar: ΔABC ∼ ΔDEF. Which of the following statements must be true? options: A) AB/DE=BC/EF=CA
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that ABC is similar to DEF. Pay attention to the order of these letters. The order that they read (left-to-right) is the order that they are similar. For example, AB is similar to DE. Despite being different triangles, they are both the <em>first two </em>letters in the triangle. So, knowing this, we can conclude that answer choice A is correct.

The measure of the unknown angles in the kite are as follows;

  • x = 66 degrees
  • y = 158 degrees

<h3>How to find the measure of a kite?</h3>

A kite has two pairs of adjacent equal sides.

In other words, a kite is a quadrilateral that has 2 pairs of equal-length sides and these sides are adjacent to each other.

One pair of opposite angles is equal. Diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

A kite has four interior angles and the sum of these interior angles is 360°

Therefore, the measures of the

x = 66 degrees.

Let's find y.

y = 360 - 70 - 66 - 66

y = 158 degrees.
