Answer:

EY≅ 5.33 cm (nearest to tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are said to be similar to each other if they have the same shape

(not necessarily the same size) and their corresponding sides are in

proportion

Given that,

AB = 12

DE = 8

BX = 8

ΔABC ∼ ΔDEF means that

  1. ∠A ∼= ∠D, ∠B ∼=∠E and ∠C ∼= ∠F.
  2. Further more, their corresponding sides are in proportion.

So,

12/8 = 8/EY

(by doing cross multiplication)

12EY = 8 × 8

12EY = 64

EY = 64 / 12

EY= 5.3333

EY≅ 5.33 cm (nearest to tenth)

The expected gain or loss is an illustration of mean and expected values.

The expected total gain is 83 points

The given parameters are:

  • Addition of 20 points for rolling a 6
  • Removal of 3 points for not rolling a 6

The probability of rolling a 6 in a fair die is 1/6.

The probability of not rolling a 6 in a fair die is 5/6.

So, the expected gain in each game is:

\mathbf{E(x) = 20 \times \frac 16 - 3 \times \frac 56}

\mathbf{E(x) = \frac{20}6 -  \frac{15}6}

Take LCM

\mathbf{E(x) = \frac{5}6}

\mathbf{E(x) = 0.83}

The number of games is 100.

So, the expected gain is:

\mathbf{Gain = 100 \times 0.83}

\mathbf{Gain = 83}

Hence, the expected total gain is 83 points

Y=4x-16. Please Show work
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. turn you y into a 0

0=4x-16

Step 2. get x alone

a.

0  =  4x  -16            

+16           <u>+16</u>

*what you do to one side of the equal sign you must to the other.

b.

0 + 16 = 4x

(divide by 4)  16 = 4x  (divide by 4)

*divide by 4 to get rid of the 4 next to the x, remeber to do both sides of the equal sign

4 = x

I would say the answer is J because follow the traingle sum theorem, all angles add to 180. There are 2x and you know that one is 80. Hope this helped! :)
