Using an indirect proof:
Assume that the figure is a trapezoid.
All trapezoids are quadrilaterals.
All quadrilaterals' interior angles add up to 360° because any n-gon's interior angles add up to 180(n-2)°.
We are given that the trapezoid has three right angles.
All right angles are 90°, thus these right angles have a total measure of 270°.
We can conclude fourth angle must be 90°.
If it has four right angles, it is a rectangle.
Rectangles have two sets of parallel sides.
However, trapezoids have exactly one set of parallel sides.
Alas, our figure cannot be a trapezoid.
Answer:
Malcolm is showing evidence of gambler's fallacy.
This is the tendency to think previous results can affect future performance of an event that is fundamentally random.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each round of the roulette-style game is independent of each other. The probability that 8 will come up at any time remains the same, equal to the probability of each number from 1 to 10 coming up. That it has not come up in the last 15 minutes does not increase or decrease the probability that it would come up afterwards.
Whats the question that might help to add it
Answer:
Part A) plot 1 and -2.5.
B) The opposite of 2 is -2. The only number that has its own opposite is 0. The first statement is false.
The opposite of 1.5 is -1.5, so the opposite of the opposite of 1.5 is equal to the opposite of -1.5, which is 1.5. The second statement is true.
Hope this helps sorry for not answering earlier
