Answer:

x = 3√7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the right triangle given in the picture,

Altitude or height of the triangle (AD) = x

Base or hypotenuse of the given triangle (BC) = 16

Length of segment BD = 16 - 7 = 9

By using geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,

\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{DC}{AD}

(AD)² = (BD)(CD)

x² = 9×7

x = √63

x = 3√7

Lesechka [4]

Solution

- The number of possible outcomes in the sample space is simply gotten by multiplying out all the events together.

- There are 3 possible days: Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Thus, there are 3 possible outcomes.

- There are 3 possible times: 3PM, 4PM, or 5PM. Thus, there are 3 possible outcomes again.

- There are also 9 possible classrooms available meaning another 9 possible outcomes.

- Thus, the total possible outcomes in the sample space is

3\times3\times9=81\text{ possible outcomes}

Write and solve an equation for the total number of possible combinations from flipping a coin 10 times.
vladimir2022 [97]

Step-by-step explanation:

every flip has 2 possible outcomes.

1 flip has 2.

2 flips have 2×2 = 2² = 4

3 flips have 2×2×2 = 2³ = 8

and so on.

the number of possible combinations flipping a coin n times is

C(n) = 2^n

for 10 flips

C(10) = 2¹⁰ = 1024

possible outcomes or combinations.
