<h2>Answer:</h2>

\boxed{\overline{MN}=37.96}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

For a better understanding of this problem, see the figure below. Our goal is to find \overline{MN}. Since:

\angle MRS=\angle MQP=90^{\circ} \\ \\ \overline{MQ}=\overline{MR}=30mm

and \overline{MN} is a common side both for ΔMRN and ΔMQN, then by SAS postulate, these two triangles are congruent and:

\overline{RN}=\overline{QN}

By Pythagorean theorem, for triangle NQP:

\overline{QN}=\sqrt{\overline{NP}^2+\overline{QP}^2} \\ \\ \overline{QN}=\sqrt{10^2+21^2} \\ \\ \overline{QN}=\sqrt{541}

Applying Pythagorean theorem again, but for triangle MQN:

\overline{MN}=\sqrt{\overline{MQ}^2+\overline{QN}^2} \\ \\ \overline{MN}=\sqrt{30^2+(\sqrt{541})^2} \\ \\ \boxed{\overline{MN}=37.96}

X = 12

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
13^2 = 5^2 + x^2
169 = 25 + x^2
Subtract 25 from both sides.
144 = x^2
Take the square root.
12 = x

1.theoretical is not counting the results of the experimentssince there are an equal number of red and black and red, the probblity (theoretical) of picking a black one is 1/3
experimental=number of outcomes happened/total number of tests4 times black, 4 tests, so 4/4 or 100%=experimental proablity

2. experimental considered previous trials and theoretical did not

3. theoretical=(1/4) the trials don't influence each other so1/(4*4)=1/16

Answer:

60in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length= 24 in

Width = 18 in

Diagonally, we need to find using the Pythagoras theorem

D^2= L^2+W^2

D^2= 24^2+18^2

D^2= 576+324

D^2= 900

Square both sides

D= √900

D= 30 in

For both sides

=30*2= 60in
