Answer:

19.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem , the Square of the distance between the top of the piece and the Shadow Is the sum of the height of the piece. and the lenght of the shadow. basically Just build a triangle with the 3 points you are given: height of the piece, lenght of the shadow and distance between the 2. so it's sqrt(13^2+15^2) = sqrt(394) =19.8 cm

Marcus states that angle ORP and angle LRP are a linear pair. Which best describes his statement?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

He is incorrect. Ray RO and ray RL are not opposite rays.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are linear pair if they are supplementary and share a leg. 

∠ORP and ∠LRP are not supplementary, because ray RO and ray RL are not opposite rays.

Therefore, ∠ORP and ∠LRP are not linear pair.

correct me if this is wrong

Find the value of x so that the shaded region is a gnomon to the white rectangle.
RUDIKE [14]

Based on the shaded region, the value of x which makes this region a gnomon is x = 1.

<h3>What is value of x?</h3>

Based on the dimensions of the side that isn't shaded, and the dimensions of the side that is shaded, the value of x can be found as:

3/ 6 = (1 + 3) / (x + 6 + x)

1/2 =  4 / (6 + 2x)

6 + 2x = 4 / (1/2)

2x = 8 - 6

x = 2/2

x = 1

Flip 10000 fair coins. You are offered a 1-1 bet that the sum is less than 5000. You can bet 1, 2, ..., 100 dollars. How much wi
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 10000 times a fair coin is flipped. Since fair coin prob for head of tail =0.5

If tail comes it will be taken as 1.  Hence for the sum to be less than 5000, no of heads <5000

Since trials are large we approximate to normal with mean = np = 5000 and variance = np(1-p) = 2500

Thus no of heads x is normal with (5000, 50)

P(X

Since this prob is less than 0.5 only minimum amount to be bet i.e. 1 dollar

If sum of coins <5100, then Z = \frac{5100-5000}{50} =2

P(Z<2) = 0.9500

This time we can bet maximum of 100 dollars as probability is very high nearer to 1.
