Answer:

The length of segment EF is 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$E(7,-2), F(7,-4)$

substitute in the formula

$EF=\sqrt{(-4+2)^{2}+(7-7)^{2}}$

$EF=\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$EF=\sqrt{4}\ units$

$EF=2\ units$

The circumference is 12 mile. What is the diameter?

photoshop1234 [79]

To find the diameter of a circle, using only the circumference, you need to divide the circumference by π, or 3.14.

So in this case, you must divide 12 by 3.14, which gives you 3.82.

I even double checked this, and should be correct then.

Dogs are inbred for such desirable characteristics as blue eye color, but an unfortunate by-product of such inbreeding can be th

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The probability that the dogs are blue eyed and deaf is 13.02%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

P(Blue eyes) = 31%

P(Deaf) = 38%

P(Deaf | Blue eyes) = 42%

Formula for conditional probability:

$P( A|B) = \displaystyle\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$

Now, let A be the event where the dog is deaf and B be the the event where dog is blue eyed.

$P( \text{ Deaf}|\text{Blue eyes}) = \displaystyle\frac{P( \text{Deaf} \cap \text{Blue eyes})}{P(\text{Blue eyes})}\\\\0.42 = \displaystyle\frac{P( \text{Deaf} \cap \text{Blue eyes})}{0.31}\\\\P( \text{Deaf} \cap \text{Blue eyes}) = 0.42\times 0.31 = 0.1302 = 13.02\%$

Hence, the probability that the dogs are blue eyed and deaf is 13.02%.

It is given that a+b=6 and ab=7. Find the value of a^2 + b^2.

n200080 [17]

Use the identity:-

a^2 + b^2 = (a + b)^2 - 2ab

Plugging in the given values;-

a^2 + b^2 = 6^2 - 2*7 = 36-14 = 22 Answer

Hey could someone please help me with this really hard assignment is taking me forever. Thank you marking brainliest!

Answer:

Exercise 1: The length of the unknown leg is 4 inches.

Exercise 3: The following straws can be used to construct the triangle: b) $3\,in$ , c) $4.5\,in$ , d) $6.5\,in$ , e) $10\,in$ , f) $13.5\,in$

Exercise 4: Possible options of this exercise: 1) (2, 4, 5), 2) (4, 5, 6), 3) (5, 6, 10), 4) (1, 2, 11), 5) (1, 4, 11), 6) (1, 10, 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise 1:

Let suppose that triangle represented in the figure is a right triangle, the length of the missing leg is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$y = \sqrt{l^{2}-x^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$l$ - Hypotenuse, in inches.

$x$ - Known leg, in inches.

$y$ - Unknown leg, in inches.

If we know that $l = 11\,in$ and $x = 10\,in$ , then the length of the unknown leg is:

$y = \sqrt{21}$

Since 4 is the least whole number closest to $\sqrt{21}$ , then we conclude that the length of the unknown leg is 4 inches.

Exercise 3:

The range of possible lengths for the missing side of the triangle is represented by the following simultaneous inequality:

$x + y > l > x-y$ (2)

Where:

$x$ - Greater side, in inches.

$y$ - Lesser side, in inches.

$l$ - Missing side, in inches.

If we know that $x = 8\,in$ and $y = 6\,in$ , then we have the following range of missing sides:

$14\,in > l > 2\,in$

The following straws can be used to construct the triangle: b) $3\,in$ , c) $4.5\,in$ , d) $6.5\,in$ , e) $10\,in$ , f) $13.5\,in$

Exercise 4:

Let check each pair to determine possible constructions by means of the inequality used in Exercise 3:

(i) $x = 4\,in, y = 2\,in$

$6\,in>l>2\,in$

Possible choices: 5 inches.

(ii) $x = 5\,in, y = 2\,in$

$7\,in > l > 3\,in$

Possible choices: 4 inches, 6 inches.

(iii) $x = 6\,in, y = 2\,in$

$8\,in > l > 4\,in$

Possible choices: 5 inches, 6 inches.

(iv) $x = 10\,in, y = 2\,in$

$12\,in > l > 8\,in$

Possible choices: None.

(v) $x = 5\,in, y = 4\,in$

$9\,in > l > 1\,in$

Possible choices: 2 inches, 6 inches.

(vi) $x = 6\,in, y = 4\,in$

$10\,in > l > 2\,in$

Possible choices: 5 inches.

(vii) $x = 10\,in, y = 4\,in$

$14\,in > l > 6\,in$

Possible choices: None.

(viii) $x = 6\,in, y = 5\,in$

$11\,in > l > 1\,in$

Possible choices: 2 inches, 4 inches, 10 inches.

(ix) $x = 10\,in, y = 5\,in$

$15\,in > l > 5\,in$

Possible choices: 6 inches.

(x) $x = 10\,in, y = 6\,in$

$16\,in > l > 4\,in$

Possible choices: 5 inches.

Possible options of this exercise: 1) (2, 4, 5), 2) (4, 5, 6), 3) (5, 6, 10), 4) (1, 2, 11), 5) (1, 4, 11), 6) (1, 10, 11)
