5 0

Suppose the number is y >>>>>So y/2 +2y/3 <14
multiply both sides by 6>>>>>>>>>. 6y/2 +6x2y/3 <14x6
3y + 4y < 84
7y <84
y <84/7
y < 12

triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 units What is the height of the triangle?

fiasKO [112]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The equilateral triangle has three equal sides

in the equilateral triangle ABC

$AB=BC=AC=16 units$

the height of the triangle is the segment BD

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}$

solve for BD

$BD^{2}=BC^{2}-DC^{2}$

substitute the values

$BD^{2}=16^{2}-8^{2}$

$BD^{2}=192$

$BD=\sqrt{192}\ units$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the height of the triangle is $\sqrt{192}\ units$

$\boxed{-\frac{43}{16}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\frac{3}{16} + (-\frac{5}{2} )$

$= -\frac{3}{16} - \frac{5}{2}$

$= \frac{-3 - 5(8)}{16}$

$= \frac{-3 - 40}{16}$

Answer:

P(red) = .3

P(yellow) = .3

75 cubes in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability has to add to 1

Since the number of red cubes equals the number of yellow cubes the probability has to be the same

.4 + x+x = 1

.4 +2x = 1

2x = 1-.4

2x = .6

Divide by 2

x = .6/2

x = .3

P(red) = .3

P(yellow) = .3

We know that

P(blue) = .4 = number of blue cubes/ total number of cubes

.4 = 30/total

total = 30/.4

total = 75
