Answer:

The group of line segments that could form the other 2 sides of the triangle is;

B. 7 cm and 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is larger than the length of the third side

The given parameter of the triangle is that the length of the longest side of the triangle = 10 cm

Let, 'a', and 'b', represent the remaining two sides of the triangle

Therefore, by the triangle inequality theorem, we have;

(1) a + b > 10 cm

(2) 10 cm + a > b

(3) 10 cm + b > a

The option that satisfies condition (1), (2), and (3) are options 'B' and 'D', for which we have;

7 cm + 8 cm = 15 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 7 cm = 17 cm > 8 cm

10 cm + 8 cm = 18 cm > 7 cm

9 cm + 10 cm = 19 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 9 cm = 19 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm > 9 cm

Therefore, the possible combination of the other two sides are;

7 cm and 8 cm or 9 cm and 10 cm

However, a side of option 'D' is 10 cm and given that the longest side of the triangle = 10 cm, the length of each of the other two side should be less than 10 cm and the only given possible combination of the other two side should be option 'B', 7 cm and 8 cm.

The world famous gambler from Philadelphia, Senor Rick, proposes the following game of chance. You roll a fair die. If you roll
Orlov [11]

Answer:

You lose $0.833 while Rick gains $0.833, and so Rick is not Loco

Step-by-step explanation:

There are six numbers on a dice. Thus, probability of rolling exactly one number = 1/6

Probability of rolling two is 2/6.

Rolling a 1 pays $25, and probability = 1/6

Rolling a 2 pays $5,and probability = 1/6

Rolling a 3 pays $0, and probability = 1/6

Rolling a 4 or 5 pays -$10, and probability = 2/6

Rolling a 6 pays -$15, and probability = 1/6

Thus,lets calculate the expected value;

EV = (25 × 1/6) + (5 × 1/6) + (0 × 1/6) + (-10 × 2/6) + (-15 × 1/6)

EV = - $0.833

This means you lose $0.833 while Rick gains $0.833, and so Rick is not Loco.

Sam has 3/4 ton of stones to divide evenly among for sidewalks. how much stone will it be used in each sidewalk
mel-nik [20]

The amount of stone in each sidewalk is 3/16

<h3>How to determine the amount of stone in each sidewalk?</h3>

The given parameters are

Stones = 3/4 tons

Side walks = 4

The amount of stone in each sidewalk is calculated using

Amount = Stones/Side walks

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Amount = 3/4 / 4

Evaluate the quotient

Amount = 3/16

Hence, the amount of stone in each sidewalk is 3/16
