Answer:

The probability that she would succeed is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly. we have to calculate the area of the board

That would be the area of the rectangle

This is the product of the base and the height which is 50 cm * 40 cm = 2,000 cm^2

The area of the triangle is the area of the base and the height divided by 2

we have this as;

1/2 * 50 * 40 = 1,000 cm^2

The probability would be the area of the triangle divided by the area of the board

This is because she is aiming at the triangle while having the whole board to work against

This is 1,000 cm^2/2000 cm^2 = 1/2

Plssss helppp!!!!Find the value of x.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

See how X looks similar to a obtuse angle? The angle looks an awful lot like it's around 40 degrees though, it seems to be an acute angle, they are less than 90* so anything near 90 should make sense. I'd say exactly 45.

The altitude of a triangle is 2 m longer than its base. What are the dimensions of the altitude and the base if thearea of the t

HACTEHA [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base of triangle be x m.

Therefore, altitude =( x + 2)m

$area \: of \: \triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times altitude \\ \\ 40 = \frac{1}{2} \times x \times (x + 2) \\ \\ 80 = {x }^{2} +2x \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 2x - 80 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + 10x - 8x - 80 \\ x(x + 10) - 8(x + 10) = 0\\ (x + 10)(x - 8) = 0 \\ x + 10 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 8 = 0 \\ x = - 10 \: \: or \: \: x = 8 \\ base \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ x \neq - 10 \\ x = 8 \\ x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10 \\$
