Answer:

Shortest Leg: 5 inches, Hypotenuse: 13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle follows the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. C is the hypotenus. A combination found using this is 5, 12, and 13. To double check this, we know that the hypotenus is 2x+3, where x is the smallest leg.

The answer is 112 centimeters.

As this problem represents a right triangle, here we need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

  • h = √113² - 15²
  • h = √12769 - 225
  • h = √12544
  • h = 112 centimeters

A jar contains six blue marbles and five red marbles. Suppose you choose a marble at​ random, and do not replace it. Then you ch
TEA [102]

The jar has 6+5=11 marbles.

We have to find the probability of the following event:

1.We pick a marble from a jar that has 11 marbles in total, 5 of them are red

2.We pick a marble from a jar that has now 10 marbles in total, 4 of them are red (because in the previous step we picked a red marble and did not put it back in the jar)

The probability of the first event is:

P_1=\frac{5}{11}

The probability of the second event is:

P_2=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

The probability of the both events to happen is:

P=P_1\cdot P_2=\frac{5}{11}\cdot \frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{11}=0.1818
