Answer:

  b. 15 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice from the graph that AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle 3 units wide and 6 units high. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the length of that will be ...

  AB = √(3^2 +6^2) = √45 = 3√5

Similarly, altitude CD is the hypotenuse of a right triangle 4 units wide and 2 units high, so its length will be ...

  CD = √(4^2 +2^2) = √20 = 2√5

The area is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(3√5)(2√5) = 15 . . . square units

The probability that a plant is edible is 4/5 and the probability that a plant grows at a constant rate and is edible is 14/19.
miskamm [114]

Answer: Probability that a plant grows at a constant rate, given it is edible is given by \frac{35}{38}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be an event that getting a plant grows at a constant rate.

Since we have given that

The probability that a plant is edible is given by

P(A)=\frac{4}{5}

The probability that a plant grows at a constant rate and is edible is given by

P(A\cap B)=\frac{14}{19}

We will use "Conditional probability ", i.e.

P(A\mid B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}

P(A\mid B)=\frac{\frac{14}{19}}{\frac{4}{5}}\\\\P(A\mid B)=\frac{14\times 5}{19\times 4}\\\\P(A\mid B)=\frac{70}{76}\\\\P(A\mid B)=\frac{35}{38}

Hence, Probability that a plant grows at a constant rate, given it is edible is given by \frac{35}{38}.

A police office will hold an 18-session lesson. For every session, there are 7 days and there is no break between every two sess
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

A 18 sessions and we know that a session lasts 7 days. We also know that the sessions are grouped and that there is only a break after every 2 sessions. The sessions can only be held on weekdays which is 5 days. The first session starts on Friday. We need to determine the last day of the 18 sessions.

WE can assume that a break is a one day.

The first two sessions will be a total of 14 days and then a break. Friday adding 14 days will result in the first two sessions ending on Wednesday and a break day. The next two sessions will start Friday again.

Therefore the sessions are even number of 18 and therefore will always end on a Wednesday
