ABCD is a square. M is the midpoint of BC and N is the midpoint of CD. A point is selected at random in the square. Calculate th

almond37 [142]

Answer:

1/8 or 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the sides of the square ABCD.

Therefore, the length of CN and CM is x/2.

The area of the triangle MCN is:

$A_t = \frac{0.5x*0.5x}{2}=\frac{x^2}{8}$

The area of the square ABCD is:

$A_s =x*x =x^2$

Thus, the probability that a random point lies in the triangle MCN is:

$P=\frac{A_t}{A_s}=\frac{\frac{x^2}{8}}{x^2}=\frac{1}{8}=0.125$

The probability that the point will lie in the triangle MCN is 1/8 or 0.125.

Find the value of x and y

slava [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

OS ≅ OU, so we will set those 2 expressions equal to each other and solve for y:

6y = 42 so

y = 7

Same goes for OT and OV:

x + 5 = 23 so

x = 18 and

SU = 84

The given figure shows a vertical hyperbola with its centre at origin, and as we observe the figure, we can conclude that :

Length of transverse axis is :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2b = 12$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: b = 6$

length of conjugate axis is :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2a = 8$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: a = 4$

Equation of hyperbola ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} } - \cfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2} } = 1$

plug in the values ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {6}^{2} } - \cfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {4}^{2} } = 1$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \cfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {36}^{} } - \cfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {16}^{} } = 1$

While testing a new vaccine, a lab technician noticed that the number of bacteria reduced by half every minute. How long does it

son4ous [18]

To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t, $t=log_{.5} .125=3$ . This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375
