Question:

Morgan is playing a board game that requires three standard dice to be thrown at one time. Each die has six sides, with one of the numbers 1 through 6 on each side. She has one throw of the dice left, and she needs a 17 to win the game. What is the probability that Morgan wins the game (order matters)?

Answer:

1/72

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Morgan can roll a 17 in 3 different ways. The first way is if the first die comes up 5, the second die comes up 6, and the third die comes up 6. The second way is if the first die comes up 6, the second die comes up 5, and the third die comes up 6. The third way is if the first die comes up 6, the second die comes up 6, and the third die comes up 5. For each way, the probability of it occurring is  1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216. Therefore, since there are 3 different ways to roll a 17, the probability that Morgan rolls a 17 and wins the game is  1/216 + 1/216 + 1/216 = 3/216 = 1/72</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Count the squares so

3^2+4^2=5^2

3*3=9

4*4=16

5*5=25

9+16=25 and it does check out

write an equation of the line that's passes through the point (1,6) and is parallel to the line whose equation is y= 3x - 5
Alex Ar [27]
Parallel lines have the same slope.
so to find any line, you need a set of points, and a slope.
we already have the slope, being 3.
so, use the equation
y- (y-point)/ x-(x-point)=slope.
y-6. 3
---- = ---- (make it a fraction by puttingitover 1)
x-1. 1
cross multiply.
1(y-6)=3 (x-1)
y-6=3x-3
add 6 to both sides
Final answer: Y=3x+3

The area of a triangle is 20 cm², and the
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Heavenly,  we need the forumula for the area of a triangle, do you know it?

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is (1/2 ) * B*H

where B = base

H = height

then

A = 1/2* B * H

A is given to be 20

B = b

H = b+4

plug all those into the formula,

20 = (1/2)*b*(b+4)

use your algebra skillz  :P

20 = 1/2 *( b^{2} + 4b)

20*2 = b^{2} + 4b

40 = b^{2} + 4b

0 = b^{2} + 4b-40

rewrite the above so it's in x format

x^{2} + 4x -40 = 0

use the quadratic formula to find  x  , and for our problem, remember that x represents the base,  or b,  but don't mix it up with the b in the quadatic fomula,  with the b of the triangle, which is the base,  they are differnt "b"s   :P

X = (b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } ) / 2*a

a = 1

b = 4

c = -40

x = (4±\sqrt{4^{2}-4*1*(-40) }  ) /2*1

x = ( 4±\sqrt{16+160} ) / 2

x = (4±\sqrt{176} ) / 2

x = (4±13.266499)/2

x= 2±6.633249

x = 2 + 6.633249 = 8.633

b= 8.633 cm
