Lynna [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Oldest friend=X+2; Middle friend=X+1; Youngest friend=X

X+(X+1)+(X+2)=180

3X+3=180 Subtract 3 from each side.

3X=177 Divide each side by 3

X=59 Youngest friend is 59.

X+2=59+2=61 ANSWER: Oldest friend is 61.

X+2=59+1=60 Middle friend is 60.

CHECK:

Sum is 180

59+60+61=180

180=180

Suppose you have a right triangle with side lengths 26, 24, and 10. Which lengths
solong [7]

Answer:

hypotenuse —>26

Legs —> 10 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally ,the hypotenuse is the longest side .

So in our triangle the hypotenuse is of length 26.

Consequently, the legs are of lengths 24 and 10.

Also ,we can verify that this is right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem:

26^2 = 676

24^2+10^2 = 676

Then

26² = 24²+10².

A popular game requires the player to select the same five numbers out of a set of allowed numbers that will be drawn at random
solmaris [256]

Options:

A.) decrease because the same five numbers are not likely to occur again so soon.

B.) Increase because those five numbers must be lucky.

C.) be unaffected because every set of five numbers is equally likely on every attempt.

D.) be unknown because it depends on how many times those five numbers have won in the last several drawings.

Answer:

be unaffected because every set of five numbers is equally likely on every attempt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number selection in the lottery is randomized with each set of number having equal chances of being selected. This means that each and every selection attempt is independent and the outcome of each attempt does not depend on any prior outcome or event. This means that if the numbers drawn from the most previous prior drawing are selected on the next attempt, the probability of winning on the next attempt Neither increases nor decreases. Hence , the probability of winning on the next attempt with this selection is unaffected.
