Ana is choosing a pillow for her bed. The probability that the pillow is encased in microfiber is 0.5 . The probability that the

pillow is filled with memory foam is 0.7. The probability that the pillow is filled with memory foam and encased in microfiber is 0.3. Which equation shows the correct use of the addition rule to determine the probability that the pillow is either encased in microfiber or filled with memory foam?

Answer:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) = 0.5 + 0.7 - 0.3 = 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation we should use to calculate the addition of probabilities is:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

Notice that if we just sum P(A) + P(B), our result would be wrong, because we would sum the intersection of those events two times.

So, in this case, if we call 'A' the pillow being encased in microfiber and 'B' the pillow being filled with memory foam, we have that:

P(A) = 0.5

P(B) = 0.7

P(A and B) = 0.3

So the addition of both probabilities is:

P(A or B) = 0.5 + 0.7 - 0.3 = 0.9

Well I THINK triangle ABC is just a stretched out version of triangle DEF.

To find the area of a triangle, you multiply base and height, and divide by 2.

Area of DEF is 6, so that means that (4 * x)/2 = 6.

6*2 = 12....

4 * x = 12........

4 * 3 = 12.

x = 3.

Comparing DEF to ABC: ABC's base is 3 times as long as DEF's. So that means the height must be three times as long.

3*3 = 9.

(12 * 9)/2 =54

In triangle ΔABC, ∠C is a right angle and CD is the height to
Zina [86]

Answer:

m\angle CDB=90\\m\angle CBD=90-\alpha\\m\angle BCD=\alpha\\\\m\angle CDA=90\\m\angle CAD=\alpha\\m\angle ACD=90-\alpha

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are drawn below.

CD is perpendicular to AB as CD is height to AB.

Therefore, angles m\angle CDB=m\angle CDA=90°

So, triangles ΔCBD and ΔCAD are right angled triangles.

Now, from the right angled triangle ΔABC,

m\angle A+m\angle B =90\\\alpha+m\angle B=90\\m\angle B=90-\alpha

From ΔCBD,

m\angle CBD is same as m\angle B.

So, m\angle CBD=90-\alpha

m\angle BCD+m\angle BDC =90\\m\angle BCD+90-\alpha=90\\m\angle BCD=\alpha

Now, from ΔCAD,

m\angle CAD is same as m\angle A

So, m\angle CAD=\alpha

m\angle CAD+m\angle ACD =90\\\alpha+m\angle ACD=90\\m\angle ACD=90-\alpha

Hence, the unknown angles of both the triangles are:

m\angle CDB=90\\m\angle CBD=90-\alpha\\m\angle BCD=\alpha\\\\m\angle CDA=90\\m\angle CAD=\alpha\\m\angle ACD=90-\alpha
