Answer:

t =12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem.

Put the smaller triangle on top and the larger triangle on bottom

12         9

------ = -------

16          t

Solve by using cross products

12 t = 9*16

12 t =144

Divide by 12

12t/12 = 144/12

t = 12

\text{We have similar right triangles (Acute Angle Similarity)}\triangle BAC\sim\triangle BED\\\\\dfrac{BA}{AC}=\dfrac{BE}{ED}\\\\\text{We have}\\\\BA=12m,\ AC=9m,\ BE=16m,\ ED=t.\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\\dfrac{12}{9}=\dfrac{16}{t}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\12t=(9)(16)\\\\12t=144\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{t=12\ m}}. Therefore the legs make proportions.

N a game, four cards are labeled N, S, E, and W. Two tiles are numbered 1 and 2. Two discs are red and blue. A player randomly s
algol [13]

Answer: The probability that the player selects a card with S or E, a tile with 2 and a red disc is given as 0.125 (or 1/8)

Step-by-step explanation: If four cards are labelled N, S, E and W, then that means there are a total of four possible outcomes. Also with tiles numbered 1 and 2 there are a total of two possible outcomes when selecting tiles. Then there are two discs in total (one red and one blue) which means there are a total of two outcomes when selecting discs.

To select a card with S would be calculated as follows;

P(S) = Number of required outcomes/Number of all possible outcomes

P(S) = 1/4

P(S) = 0.25

To select a card with E would likewise be calculated as follows;

P(E) = Number of required outcomes/Number of possible outcomes

P(E) = 1/4

P(E) = 0.25

Therefore, the probability that a player selects a card with S or E is derived as follows;

P(S or E) = P(S) + P(E)

P(S or E) = 0.25 + 0.25

P(S or E) = 0.5

The probability that he selects a tile with 2 written on it is calculated as;

P(T2) = Number of required outcomes/Number of all possible outcomes

P(T2) = 1/2

P(T2) = 0.5

The probability that he will select a red disc is calculated as;

P(R) = Number of required outcomes/Number of possible outcomes

P(R) = 1/2

P(R) = 0.5

Therefore, the probability that the player selects a card with S or E, a tile with 2 and a red disc is calculated as;

P(S or E and T2 and R) = 0.5*0.5*0.5

P(S or E and T2 and R) = 0.125

Hence the probability that the player selects a card with S or E, a tile with 2 and a red disc is 0.125 (or 1/8).
