The vertex where the two triangles touch forms a pair of vertical angles, so that the angles on opposites sides of the vertex are congruent. You're shown that two legs of both triangles are congruent. All this tells you that the two triangles are isosceles, and furthermore that they are similar because of the congruence of their "base" angles.
This means
a) because it is equal to the area of the shaded region between X=4 and X=6, and the probability that X falls within some interval is given by the area under the PDF.
b) because the shaded region is a rectangle of height 1/5 (by virtue of X following a uniform distribution over the interval [2, 7], which has length 5).
Answer:
The answer is 2.
2 since 6/4=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since your relation is a direct variation then the points on your line are of the form y=kx where k is the constant of variation (also called constant of proportionality)
If y=kx then y/x=k.
So all the points in this relation since it is a direct variation will be equal to y-coordinate/x-coordinate.
So we are going to solve this proportion:
Again I put y/x from each point. They should have same ratio because this is a direct variation.
Cross multiply:
Divide boht sides by 6:
