Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{BC}{EC}$ = $\frac{AC}{DC}$ , substituting values

$\frac{21}{7}$ = $\frac{24-x}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

21x = 7(24 - x) ← distribute

21x = 168 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )

28x = 168 ( divide both sides by 28 )

x = 6 → C

Problem If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that the dice show the same number?

shusha [124]

Lets say yu are trying to roll a 4 on both of the dice the probability for both is 1/6 so multiply 1/6 × 1/6 and you get 1/36
so the probability for rolling the same number on each dice is 1/36
hope this helps!

The diagonals of a parallelogram are 24 meters and 40 meters and

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer side can be found using the Law of Cosines. The semi-diagonals are of length 12 and 20 m, and the angle between them facing the long side is 180° -60° = 120°.

c^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C)

c^2 = 12^2 +20^2 -2·12·20·cos(120°) = 144 +400 +240 = 784

c = √784 = 28

The longer side is 28 meters.
