Short Answer RP = 8 meters.
Remark
A kite's diagonals bisect each other. (1/2) QS = QP. 
Another fact about a kite is that the diagonals meet at right angles. 
ΔQPR is a right triangle. 

Step One
Find QP
QP = 1/2 QS
QS = 12               Given
QP = 1/2 12
QP = 6

Step Two
Find RP
Use the Pythagorean Theorem To solve for RP

<em>Givens</em>
QP = 6        From Step 1
QR = 10     Given
QP = ??

We are dealing with a right angle triangle.
RP^2 + QP^2 = QR^2
RP^2 + 6^2 = 10^2
RP^2 + 36 = 100        Subtract 36 from both sides.
RP^2 = 100 - 36
RP^2 = 64                  Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(RP^2) =sqrt(64)

1. A luge race is very dangerous, and a crash can cause serious injuries. The league requires anyone who has a crash to have a t
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

0.7061 = 70.61% probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season

Step-by-step explanation:

For each race, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the person has a crash, or the person does not. The probability of having a crash during a race is independent of whether there was a crash in any other race. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

A certain performer has an independent .04 probability of a crash in each race.

This means that p = 0.04

a) What is the probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season

This is:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

When n = 30

We have that:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{30,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{30} = 0.2939

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.2939 = 0.7061

0.7061 = 70.61% probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season

The product of w and 2 is greater than or equal to 19.
madam [21]

Equation Form:

w x 2 \geq 19

Divide both sides by 2:

w \geq 9.5

So, w must be equal to or greater than 9.5 for this equation to work.

The Girl Scouts collected $90 for charity while the Boy Scouts collected $60.
Ostrovityanka [42]

So first you’ll have to find the total or the sum of collected.

$90+$60= $150

Because you’re finding the percent of the total collected by girl scouts, divide the amount collected from the girl scouts by the total.

$90/$150= .6

Multiply that by 100 to get %60.
