Answer:

Area = 127.5cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of first side = 8 cm

Length of second side = 15 cm

Length of third side = 17cm

To find,

Area of triangle

to find which of the sides is hypotenuse use Pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse² = height² + base²

17² = 8² + 15²

289 = 289

hence 17 is the hypotenuse and other two are height and base

<h2>Area of triangle = 1/2 height * base</h2>

Area of triangle = 1/2 15 * 17

Area of triangle = 1/2 (255)

Area of triangle = 127.5

Compute the conditional probabilities from the two-way frequency table.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The table is show clearly in the figure attached.

P(boy if favourite activity is swimming) = 8/17 = 0.47

P(girl if favourite activity is sport) = 7/27 = 0.26

P(girl if favourite activity is reading) = 4/6 = 0.67

P(boy if favourite activity is sport) = 20/27 = 0.74

P(favourite activity is swimming if a girl) = 9/20 = 0.45

P(favourite activity is reading if a boy) = 2/30 = 0.07

P(favourite activity is swimming if a boy) = 8/30 = 0.27

P(favourite activity is reading if a girl) = 4/20 = 0.2

4. When Megan solved this system using the elimination method, she added the equations together and got the equation 4y = 16. Th
Ede4ka [16]
Hi there!

So, our two equations are:
2x + 3y = 20 and
-2x + y = 4

We can see that the x's will cancel out because they're the same number, opposite signs. Then we're left with 4y = 24.

Divide 24 by 4, which is 6.

y = 6, then we plug that in to the first equation for y:
2x + 3(6) = 20
2x + 18 = 20
2x = 2
x = 1

So, she made her first mistake when adding the equations, adding 20 and 4, she somehow got 16. 

The solution to the system is (1,6).

I hope I helped!
