So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\  \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow  \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"

Which of the following represents the probability that someone who
RSB [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

(E) P(full time) × P(credit card debt over $5,000)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mode of employment of a person = Full time

The amount of debt in the credit card = More than $5,000

The probability that a person works full time = P(full time)

The probability that the person has over $5,000 in credit card debt = P(credit card debt over $5,000)

Therefore, the probability that someone who works full time has more than $5,000 in credit card debt =  P(full time) × P(credit card debt over $5,000)

What is the value of x? A.86 B.60 C.52 D.26
Nadya [2.5K]

   First of all in order for us to figure out what angle x is we need to find the formula for finding that specific type of angle.

Formula is...

x = (far arc - close arc) ÷ 2

Now we just need to plug in.

x = (172° - 52°) ÷ 2 =

x = 120° ÷ 2 = 60°

Your answer: x = 60°

Good Luck! :)
