Answer

By using the exterior angle property

The measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles.

In ∠QSR is exterior angle.

∠SPQ and ∠SQP are the opposite interior angle of the exterior angle ∠QSR .

Thus

∠QSR = ∠SPQ + ∠SQP

As given in the diagram

∠QSR = 2x , ∠SQP = x

Put in the above

2x = x + ∠SQP

∠SQP = 2x - x

∠SQP = x

Thus

∠SPQ = ∠SQP = x

By using the property

if two angles are equal in a triangle than their opposite sides are also equal .

Thus

PS = SQ

Two sides of triangle are equal .

therefore Δ PQS is a isosceles triangle .

A spinner has 12 equal sectors. 4 sectors are coloured red, 3 are coloured blue, and 5 are coloured yellow. The pointer on the s

vodomira [7]

Answer:

3.70% probability of the pointer landing on red each time

Step-by-step explanation:

For each time that the pointer is spun, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it lands on red, or it does not. The probability that it lands on red on a spin is independent of other spins. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

12 sections, of which 4 are red.

This means that $p = \frac{4}{12} = 0.3333$

The pointer on the spinner is spun 3 times.

This means that $n = 3$

What is the probability of the pointer landing on red each time?

This is P(X = 3).

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

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.3333)^{3}.(0.6667)^{0} = 0.0370$

3.70% probability of the pointer landing on red each time

Harvey flew south 300 miles. He changed planes and then flew east 500 miles. If he travels a straight path back home, how many m

Andrews [41]

Answer:

583 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw this out (see attachment).

The straight line path creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 300 and 500. So, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that for a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c:

a² + b² = c²

Here, a = 300 and b = 500. Then:

300² + 500² = c²

90000 + 250000 = c²

340000 = c²

c = √340000 ≈ 583.1 ≈ 583 mi

Thus, the answer is 583 miles.
