Segment addition and midpoints.

Answer:

Segment AD is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know AC is 13, BC is 8, and BD is 12. We need the lengths of AB and CD.

To get AB's length, subtract BC's length from AC's length. We should get 5 for the length of AB (13 - 8 = 5).

To get CD's length, subtract BD's length from BC's length. We should get 4 for the length of CD. (12 - 8 = 4)

Now to add AB, BC, and CD. Add 5, 8, and 4 to get 17. (13 + 4 = 17)

The length of Segment AD is 17.

<h3>Answer:  17</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

AC = 13 and BC = 8

Those two facts must mean AB = AC-BC = 13 - 8 = 5.

Similarly, CD = BD - BC = 12 - 8 = 4

So,

AD = AB + BC + CD

AD = 5 + 8 + 4

AD = 17

------------

Another way to approach this problem would be to say

AD = AC + BD - BC

AD = 13 + 12 - 8

AD = 17

This works because when we add up AC with BD, we're double counting the portion from B to C. So this is why we subtract off BC to correct for this overcounting so to speak.

Need help which one is it <br> a)x=7<br> b)x=12<br> c)x=20
Svetach [21]

- you can use the pythagorean theorem for this.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 16^2 = c^2

144 + 256 = c^2

400 = c^2

- square root this.

c = 20

therefore, x = 20.

so option C.

Fill in the blanks below with the correct units. (a) Karen's desk is about 3 ? (b) Dan's refrigerator has a mass of 80 ? (c) The
Nezavi [6.7K]

Hello!

To solve this exercise, let's think a bit and choose the best option for each alternative.

<h2>(a) Karen's desk is about 3...</h2>

Well, a desk with 3mm or 3cm is too small, and with 3km is too big.

In this case, the best option is 3 meters (even though it's big, it's the best option).

<h2>(b) Dan's refrigerator has a mass of 80...</h2>

Usually, a refrigerator is heavy. So the best option is kilograms.

<h2>(c) The bucket holds about 5... of water.​</h2>

5ml of water is too little, it fits in a spoon. The correct option is liters.

Answers:

a. meters

b. kilogr

Suppose Pr(A)=0.25 and Pr(B)=0.48, where A and B are mutually exclusive. Find Pr(A ? B).
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:  The required value is P(A ∪ B) = 0.73.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that A and B are two mutually exclusive events where

P(A)=0.25~~~\textup{and}~~~P(B)=0.48

We are to find the following probability :

P(A ∪ B).

We know that

the intersection of two mutually exclusive events is null event. That is,

A ∩ B = ∅     ⇒  P(A ∩ B) = 0.

From the laws of probability, we have

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=0.25+0.48-0=0.73

Thus, the required value is P(A ∪ B) = 0.73.
