This can solved using the cosine law which is:
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos θ
Using the values given from the problem
6² = b² + b² - 2bb cos 112.62
And solving for b
36 = 2b² - 2b² cos 112.62
b = 3.6

The answer is the 3rd option.

Name four fractions between 5/6 and 7/8
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

101/120, 102/120, 103/120, and 104/120.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the LCM of 6 and 8:24

So the two given fractions are 20/24, and 21/24

Since the the fractions will become decimals with the denominator 24, choose another denominator: 48

So the two given fractions are 40/48 and 42/48.

Even this denominator isn't possible so continue with different denominators.

As I notice, that each multiple increases by 1...

20-21, 40-42, 60-63, 80-84, and 100-105.

100-105 is the only numerator that has 4 numbers in-between so, the four fractions between 5/6 and 7/8 are: 101/120, 102/120, 103/120, and 104/120.

And the 2 given fractions are 100/120 and 105/120.

I hope this helps and plz mark me brainliest!!

If the probability that your DVD player breaks down before the extended warranty expires is 0.034, what is the probability that
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

0.966

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Probability of DVD player breaking down before the warranty expires = 0.034

To find:

The probability that the player will not break down before the warranty expires = ?

Solution:

Here, The two events are:

1. The DVD player breaks down before the warranty gets expired.

2. The DVD player breaks down after the warranty gets expired

In other words, the 2nd event can be stated as:

The DVD does not break down before the warranty gets expired.

The two events here, have nothing in common i.e. they are mutually exclusive events.

So, Sum of their probabilities will be equal to 1.

\bold{P(E_1)+P(E_2)=1}\\\Rightarrow 0.034+P(E_2)=1\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=1-0.034\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=\bold{0.966}
