Answer : The correct option is, (B) 56.8

Step-by-step explanation :

Right Triangle Altitude Theorem:

The measure of altitude drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right angled triangle to its hypotenuse is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.

We are drawing a line from vertex to hypotenuse side.

As per theorem:

$\frac{BD}{AB}=\frac{CB}{AC}$

$\frac{BD}{60}=\frac{175}{185}$

$BD=\frac{175\times 60}{185}$

$BD=56.8$

Therefore, the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse is 56.8

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

sales price x sales tax rate = sales tax

sales tax rate = 10.17/156.50

sales tax rate = .065 or 6.5%

In a lottery, the top cash prize was $642 million, going to three lucky winners. Players pick five different numbers from 1 t

kramer

Answer:

$\frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of matching the number drawn on the gold ball is

$\frac{1}{46}$

The number of possible pairs of numbers from 1 to 53 is

$\binom{53}{2} = \frac{53 \times 52}{2} = 53 \times 26$

Choosing 5 numbers, you are choosing 10 different pairs:

$\binom{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2} = 10$

Therefore the probability of correctly matching the drawn pair is

$\frac{10}{53 \times 26}$

Thus, the probability of winning (matching the pair AND the gold ball) is

$\frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26}$
