Answer:

40 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 socks in total inside the drawer. 2 pairs of white socks means four white socks. The worst possible scenario (however unlikely it is) is that Laura takes all of the red, blue and green socks before picking any white sock. From that point on, Laura has to pick four more socks in order to have two white pairs. In this scenario, there are 8 socks left in the drawer, all white. Therefore, the minimum number of socks that Laura must take to be sure that she has two pairs of white socks is:

n=(12*4) - 8\\n=40\ socks

She must take at least 40 socks.

In triangle STU, u2 = s2 + t2. Triangle STU has sides s, t, u opposite to the corresponding vertices S, T, U Which equation is t
wlad13 [49]
Answer:
<span>The measure of angle SUT is equal to 90 degrees
</span>
Explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem states that:
"In any right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides"
In other words:
(hypotenuse)² = (first side)² + (second side)²

Now, for the given, we have:
u² = s² + t²
This means that the given triangle UST is a right-angled triangle and that side "u" is its hypotenuse.

According to the given, the angle opposite to side "u" is angle U. This means that angle U is the right-angle in this triangle.

Based on the above:
angle U = 90°
angle S + angle T = 180 - 90 = 90°

Now, comparing our deductions to the given choices, we can conclude that the correct choice is:
The measure of angle SUT is equal to 90 degrees

Hope this helps :)

Can you evaluate the expressions for the given value. (show steps if you can)
exis [7]

Answer:

Q1. -45

Q2. -10

Q3. 31?

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1 -- you times -8 and 2 which comes out to -16. Since you have -16 + 1 inside of the parentheses you add 1 to -16 which comes out to -15. Then you take -15 times 3 and it comes out to -45.

Q2 -- the m gets replaced by the 5 so now its -2 times 5. Which comes out to -10. Then you take -10 times 2, which is -20. Now take -20 + 10 which gives us the answer of -10.

Q3 -- I'm not completely sure on this one but I think the equation would transfer to this 2*5 + 5*3 + 2*3. So 2*5 is 10, 5*3 is 15, and 2*3 is 6. Add them all together and you get 31.

I hope this was right and it helps you!
