Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an isosceles triangle. We need to remember the important rule that the base angles are equal. In this question we need to find the value of 'x' using a perpendicular height of 3 and a base length of 4. In this question we can half the triangle in half to help us find the value of x. Also we need to use Pythagoras theorem to help us find 'x'. Pythagoras states that a² + b² = c² so we want to find the hypotenuse of the triangle. If we half the triangle we get 2 triangle both with a base length of 2 and a perpendicular height of 3 so,
⇒ State Pythagoras theorem
→ a² + b² = c²
⇒ Substitute in the values
→ 3² + 2² = c²
⇒ Simplify
→ 9 + 4 = c²
⇒ Simplify further
→ 13 = c²
⇒ Square root both sides to find the value of 'c'
→ = c
The value of x is the square root of 13
A nice riddle, mathematical riddle.
Assuming a turtle winning means the declared winner is the weaker one actually won over the stronger one. In this context, the turtle winner is the one who has a lesser number of favourable votes.
The given rules for the points are as follows:
1. Point for the first choice must be greater than or equal to that of the second choice.
2. All points must be positive whole numbers.
Let's suppose we have Henry against Tim.
Henry is favourite of the voters and is the leading candidate, according to popular polls.
Tim is an excellent manipulator, sly, and everybody knows this.
On polling day, the vote count came out as follows (in point counts)
Henry Tim
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
2 1
10 1 (Henry's own vote)
1 100 (Tim's own vote)
------------------
17 107 TOTAL POINTS
So Tim the turtle was declared winner of the race, and since everything was according to rule, even a recount of the votes did not change the results.
Be aware, voting by districts (instead of popular votes) also exhibits a similar problem.
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 large squares here, all of which have been shaded but for one.
Thus, the desired fraction is 1/6.
