x = 37.5 (or)
Solution:
Given
AC = 50, DE = 30, EC = 25, BE = x, BC = 25 + x
To find the value of x:
Property of similar triangles:
If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.
Do cross multiplication, we get
Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.
Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get
x = 37.5 (or)
Hence the value of x is 37.5 or .
Answer:
Probability that a car need to be repaired once = 20% = 0.20
Probability that a car need to be repaired twice = 8% = 0.08
Probability that a car need to be repaired three or more = 2% = 0.02
a) If you own two cars what is the probability that neither will need repair?
Probability that a car need to be repaired once , twice and thrice or more= 0.20+0.08+0.02=0.3
Probability that car need no repair = 1-0.3=0.7
Neither car will need repair=
b) both will need repair?
Probability both will need repair =
c)at least one car will need repair
Neither car will need repair=
Probability that at least one car will need repair= 1-0.49 = 0.51
