Can segments with lengths of 15, 20, and 36 form a triangle?

Ok, so remember

the legnth of the longest side must be LESS THAN the sum of the measures of the other 2 sides
if no longest side (becasue it has 2 longest sides or 3 equal sides), then it can form a triangle

so the longest side is 36

36 must be less than the sum of 15 and 20
36<15+20
36<35
false

therfor it cannot form a triangle
try it yourself, you cannot connect them that way

A geometric sequence is shown below: a0, -11, 22, a1, 88, -176.

The common ratio looks like -2 (-11 * -2 =22) and the missing terms are -44 and 352. (22*-2=-44, -176*-2=352).

PLEASE HELP!! if sec x=5/3 what is the value of b? NL=20 LM=3b angle of L is x degrees.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a. b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sec \theta =\dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} = \dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Adjacent}$

From the attached triangle drawn below:

NL=20, LM=3b, $\angle L=x^\circ$

$\sec x =\dfrac{20}{3b}$

Since we are told that:

$\sec x =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Then:\\\dfrac{20}{3b} =\dfrac{5}{3}\\$Cross multiply\\5 \times 3b =20 \times 3\\15b=60\\$Divide both sides by 15\\15b \div 15 =60 \div 15\\b=4$

The correct option is A.

The distance between two cities on a map is 3.5 centimeters. The map uses a scale in which 1 centimeter represents 20 kilometers

zhenek [66]

1 cm = 20 km

so 3.5 cm would equal : 3.5 * 20 = 70 km <==

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the probability of rain during a winter day is 0.42, for a spring day is 0.23, for a summer day

nadezda [96]

Answer:

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening

In this question:

Event A: Rain

Event B: Winter day

Probability of rain:

0.42 of 0.25(winter), 0.23 of 0.25(spring), 0.16 of 0.25(summer) or 0.51 of 0.25(fall).

So

$P(A) = 0.42*0.25 + 0.23*0.25 + 0.16*0.25 + 0.51*0.25 = 0.33$

Intersection:

Rain on a winter day, which is 0.42 of 0.25. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.42*0.25 = 0.105$

If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day?

$P(B|A) = \frac{0.105}{0.33} = 0.3182$

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day
