Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug 15 in for b and 17 in for c

a^2+15^2=17^2

a^2+225=289

Subtract 225 on both sides

a^2=64

Take the square root of both sides

a=8

Hope this helped! :)

Answer: a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = 17, b = 15

a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

a^2 + 225 = 289

a^2 = 64

a = 8

Answer:

∠MNP is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the angle and the order it is said. It is ∠ABC, which means the double line side, one curve line angle, and then triple line side.

Now look at the second triangle, the same double line side (NM), one curve line angle (∠N), and triple line side (NP)

Put them together: ∠MNP is your answer

On a lunch counter, there are 3 oranges, 5 apples, and 2 bananas. If 3 pieces of fruit are selected, find the probability that 1

muminat

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{1}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Oranges = 3$

$Apples = 5$

$Banana = 2$

$Total = 10$

Required

Determine the probability of 1 orange, 1 apple and 1 banana

Since, order is not important:

$Probability = P(Orange) * P(Apple) * P(Banana)$

$Probability = \frac{3}{10} * \frac{5}{9} * \frac{2}{8}$

<em>The difference in the numerator is as a result of picking the fruit without replacement</em>

$Probability = \frac{30}{720}$

$Probability = \frac{1}{24}$
