We apply the Pythagorean theorem twice and obtain:
12 ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + (15-d) ^ 2
9 ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + d ^ 2
We observe that it is a system of two equations with two unknowns whose solutions are:
(x, d) = (-36/5, 27/5)
(x, d) = (36/5, 27/5)
We ignore the negative solution, therefore, the solution is:
(x, d) = (36/5, 27/5)
Answer:
The length of the new fence is:
x = 36/5 meters

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

there are 13 symbols in slot machines i.e. 1 bar , 2 lemons , 2 bells ,2 plums ,3 cherries , 3 oranges

there are Total of 3 machines

Probability of getting bar in machine is $\frac{1}{13}$

Probability of getting 3 bar on 3 machine $=\frac{1}{13} \times\frac{1}{13}\times \frac{1}{13}=\frac{1}{2197}=0.0004$

Probability of getting an orange $=\frac{3}{13}$

Probability of getting 3 oranges on 3 machine $=\frac{3}{13} \times\frac{3}{13}\times \frac{3}{13}=\frac{27}{2197}=0.0122$

Probability of getting a Plum $=\frac{2}{13}$

Probability of getting 3 Plums on 3 machine $=\frac{2}{13} \times\frac{2}{13}\times \frac{2}{13}=\frac{8}{2197}=0.0036$
