<span>CD = 24 Triangles ABX and CDX are similar triangles. So the ratio of lengths between corresponding legs of the triangles will have the same value. You know that they're similar triangles because both of them are right triangles (so you know that one angle is the same in both) and that arc draw on both angles AXB and CXD indicate that those angles match as well. That tells you there's a second angle that's matching in both triangles, and because two of the angles match, you also know that the unmarked angle matches as well since all the angles in a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees. So you know that AB/CD = BX/DX. Substitute known values and you get AB/CD = BX/DX 12/CD = 2.5/5 Now solve for CD 12/CD = 2.5/5 12/CD = 1/2 24/CD = 1 24 = 1 * CD 24 = CD So the value of CD is 24.</span>

Donna Meagle notices that on 12 out of 14 days, her clumsy coworker Jerry Gergich spills his lunch on himself. She concludes tha

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It is an example of an empirical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical probability, also called experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.

Theoretical probability is probability that is determined on the basis of reasoning.

It is evident that the probability in the question was arrived at after the outcome of 14 days of whether Jerry Gergich spilled his lunch on himself or not.

It's an actual result of an experiment, hence the 12/14 = 0.86 = 86% that he spills his lunch on himself tomorrow.

Hope this Helps!!!

Solve the equation by the zero factor property 6x^2 -5x -6=0

Alex_Xolod [135]

First, you need to factor the polynomial.

I'll use the trial and error method.

6x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0

6 has factors
6 and 1
3 and 2

I'll try 3 and 2 first.

(3x     )(2x      ) = 0

Now we need to factor -6.
-6 factors into
-1, 6
-6, 1
-2, 3
-3, 2

Now we need to see if one of these pairs of factors placed correclty will factor the trinomial.

(3x + 2)(2x - 3) = 0

That did it.

Now we use the zero factor property.

3x + 2 = 0 or 2x - 3 = 0

3x = -2      or 2x = 3

x = -2/3     or x = 3/2

(19) Geometry pls help

gogolik [260]

Yes it is possible to prove this is a parallelogram.

XN = NZ means the diagonal XZ has been bisected
The same goes for diagonal WY (because NY = NW)

Furthermore, we have the pair of vertical angles XNY and ZNW which are congruent

Through SAS, we can say that triangles XNY and ZNW are congruent

Using CPCTC, we can get to the fact that angle NWZ = angle NYX which are alternate interior angles leading to proving that XY || WZ

----------------------

If you repeat those steps above, but focus on triangles WNX and YNZ, we can prove that XW || YZ

----------------------

After proving that XY || WZ and XW || YZ, this is enough to prove we have a parallelogram as the opposite sides are parallel.
