Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle could not be 24 - which is our solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first approach to this problem that comes to my mind, is to find the most " restricting " triangles possible. By that I mean the largest length of the side greater than 6 and the side less than 6.

The length of the side greater than 6 has to be less than 12 - considering it has to stretch the sum 6 + 6 - by the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Therefore, the most restricting triangle possible to the 1st decimal place should be the following -

{ 6, 5.9, 11.8 } ... the catch here is that this triangle does not need to be composed of lengths being whole numbers. If that was true the most " restricting " triangle would have lengths { 6, 5, 10 } throwing you off track as it's perimeter is 21.

{ 6, 5.9, 11.8 } adds to a sum of 23.7, eliminating answer choice c. Therefore, we can conclude that the perimeter of the triangle can't be 24. In fact this is only to the first decimal place, you could be more specific and go to the 100th decimal place even. Either way, the perimeter of the triangle has to be less than 24.

True [87]

The distance between the coordinates in meters is 138.92m

Using the distance formula to calculate the distance between the coordinates as shown:

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\

Given the coordinate points C(-5, 8) and V (7, 1)

Substitute the given coordinates into the formula

D = \sqrt{(7+5)^2+(1-8)^2} \\D = \sqrt{(12)^2+(-7)^2} \\D = \sqrt{144+49} \\D = \sqrt{193} \\D=13.892 units

Given that 1 unit = 10metres

D = 13.892 * 10

D = 138.92 meters

Hence the distance between the coordinates in meters is 138.92m

You read online that the probability of being dealt four‑of‑a‑kind in a five‑card poker hand is 1 / 4165. Explain carefully what
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

There is about 4,164/4,165 chances of not getting getting a four of a kind. So, it is extremely unlikely or even borderline impossible in that situation to get a four of a kind.

<u>But in the long run, it can be increased only if you keep drawing.  So, the awnser would have to be. D  </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

A. It does mean that if you are dealt 4165 five‑card poker hands, one will be four‑of‑a‑kind.

B.  It does not mean that all will be four‑of‑a‑kind. The probability is actually saying that only on the 4165 the poker hand will you get a four‑of‑a‑kind, not just on any of the 4165 poker hands.

C. The probability is actually saying that in the long run, with a large number of five‑card poker hands, the fraction in which you will be dealt a four‑of‑a‑kind is 1 / 4165.

D. The chance you will be dealt four‑of‑a‑kind is 1 / 4165 only on the first hand. This chance will then increase with each new hand you are dealt until you eventually win
