For there to be 1 car, we consider two possible outcomes:

The first door opened has a car or the second door opened has a car.

P(1 car) = 2/6 x 4/5 + 4/6 x 2/5

P(1 car) = 8/15

For there to be no car in either door

P(no car) = 4/6 x 3/5

P(no car) = 2/5

Probability of at least one car is the sum of the probability of one car and probability of two cars:

P(2 cars) = 2/6 x 1/5

= 1/15

P(1 car) + P(2 cars) = 8/15 + 1/15

= 3/5

Find the measures of the following angles.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1: 36° 2: 122° 3: 122° 4: 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

First start out by getting 2 and 3. so 58+angle 3 has to sum to 180° since they are supplementary and are a straight line. So 180-58=122. Angle 2 is the same since theyre vertical. then since a triangle has 180° total, you subtract from 180 to find the final angle measurement.

A square base of a pyramid has the dimensions 5 yards
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

145 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be dour triangular faces. For a triangle, area is given as

A=½bh where b is base and h is height. The base will be 5 yards and h is 12 yards hence for one triangular face, area will be ½*5*12=30 yd²

Since they are four similar triangles, area of triangular faces will be 30*4=120 yd²

The surface area of a square base is given by

A=a*a=a² where a is the dimension of one side. Given that the meaurement is 5 yards then A=5²=25 yd²

Total area will be the sum of triangular and square faces hence 120+25=145 yd²
