The triangle has a base of 4 and a height of 2.
Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the ratio of the corresponding sides to get the scale factor so for this equation let's use the hypotenuse.
The length of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is 12 units and the smaller triangle's hypotenuse is 4 so 4/12 is the scale factor.
However 4/12 can be simplified down to 1/3.
Since the smaller triangle has been flipped upside down the scale factor is negative so the final answer is -1/3
Answer:
There is an 85% probability that the sprinkler head will be activated.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have these following probabilities:
50% of the first sprinkler being triggered
90% of the first sprinkler being reliable
50% of the second sprinkler being triggered
80% of the second sprinkler being reliable.
What is the probability that the sprinkler head will be activated?

is the probability of the first sprinkler being triggered and activated. So:

is the probability of the second sprinkler being triggered and activated. So:


There is an 85% probability that the sprinkler head will be activated.
Answer: (3b + 5)(3b - 5)
Because both terms, 9b² and 25, are perfect squares, you can factor by taking the square roots of both terms.
The square root of 9b² is 3b (3b × 3b = 9b²).
The square root of 25 is 5 (5 × 5 = 25).
9b² - 25 has a negative, so the factored expression would be
(3b + 5)(3b - 5). The signs (+ and -) alternate in this case because the expression, 9b² - 25, has no middle term.
You can check your work by using FOIL. See the attachment below.

9 ten-thousands is 9*10,000=90,000. 90,000/10 is 9,000, or nine thousands.
