Hi!

distance from A to the base od C, straight line = 7 units

from the base of C to the point C, straght line = 5 units

$AC^{2} = 7^{2} + 5^{2} \\AC^{2} = 49 + 25\\AC^{2} = 74\\AC = \sqrt{74}\\AC = 8,6$

Hope this helps!

the horizontal distance ( x direction) from A to C is 7 units and

the vertical distance ( y direction) is 5 units

Applying Pythagoras' Theorem to the right triangle

AC² = 7² + 5² = 49 + 25 = 74, hence

AC = $\sqrt{74}$ = 8.6 units ( to 1 dec. place )

Blaise Pascal (June 19, 1623 - August 19, 1662) was a great contributor to math, science, and philosophy, especially Christian philosophy. Interesting Blaise Pascal Facts: Pascal's early education in France was conducted at home by his father due to the prodigious talent and understanding he showed as a child. Did u mean pascal instead of pasical becaus ethere is no such thing. Hope I helped :)

A number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime. This "question" is on my study guide for Unit 6 Probability an

Sphinxa [80]

Solution:

we are given that

A number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime.

As we know the number between 1 and 15 which are primes are listed below

2,3,5,7,11,13.

Here total number of favourable outcomes are 6.

The numbers 1 through 15 are as below:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15.
