Answer: the height of the television screen is 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the rectangular television screen is shown in the attached photo. The rectangle is labelled as ABCD. The diagonal forms a right angle triangle, ABC. This means that angle B is 90 degrees. The height it labelled as h. To determine h, we will apply Pythagoras theorem. Pythagoras theorem is expressed as

Hypotenuse ^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2

From the diagram,

hypotenuse = 29 inches

Adjacent = 21 inches. Therefore,

29^2 = 21^2 + h^2

h^2 = 29^2 - 21^2 = 841 - 441

h = √400

h = 20 inches

Artie has a book of short stories. The number of each type of short story is shown below.
enyata [817]

we are given

• 6 science-fiction stories

• 4 adventure stories

• 3 historical stories

• 2 sports stories

so,

total number of stories =6+4+3+2

total number of stories =15

Probability of selecting science stories:

number of science stories =6

total number of stories =15

P(S)=(number of science stories)/(total number of stories)

p(S)=\frac{6}{15}

p(S)=\frac{2}{5}

Probability of selecting adventure stories:

number of adventure stories =4

total number of stories =15

P(A)=(number of adventure stories)/(total number of stories)

p(A)=\frac{4}{15}

p(A)=\frac{4}{15}

now, we can find

the probability that the story Artie selects is either a science-fiction story or an adventure story

that is P(AUS)

p(AUS)=p(A)+p(S)-p(A∩S)

we know that

p(A) and p(S) are independent

so,

p(A∩S)=p(A)*p(S)

we can plug it

p(AUS)=p(A)+p(S)-p(A)*p(S)

we get

p(AUS)=\frac{2}{5}+\frac{4}{15}-  \frac{2}{5}*\frac{4}{15}

p(AUS)=\frac{14}{25}...........Answer

Can the gcf of 16 and 42 be less than 16????<br><br> Please answer
zubka84 [21]
Yes.

Since 16 isn't a factor of 42, your GCF would be 2.

Hope that helps. -UF aka nadia

david ran on a straight track. every time he ran 480m, he took a break. After 2 breaks, he still had to run 120 m to complete th
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The distance of the playground is 540m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the length of the playground given the information in the question.

Where to attack the question from is the segment that states that he took a break after 480m and also had 2 breaks. Thus, the distance traveled would be 480 * 2 = 960 m

Now, to find the length of the track, we add the distance covered plus the distance uncovered. Mathematically that would be 960m + 120m = 1,080m

In the last part of the question, we are told that the track is twice as long as the playground. This means that the length of the playground or the distance of the playground is 1080/2 = 540 m
