Answer:
x = 15, 72 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 12 + 108 = 180
4x + 120 = 180
4x (+ 120 - 120) = 180 - 120
4x = 60
4x/4 = 60/4
x = 15
4x + 12
4(15) + 12
60 + 12
72 degrees
The area of the largest triangle would be 6 inches².
How did I get this? I'll explain first:
We would want our triangle to have the longest sides, so it can be big. If you think of a rectangle, a triangle can fit into it if:
The base (bottom) of the triangle is the same length as one side of the rectangle, and the other side of the triangle is perpendicular (90°) to the bottom and is the same length of the other side of the rectangle.
Okay, just picture it: two sides of the triangle are resting in the two sides of the rectangle, and the third side of the triangle is a line that splits the rectangle in half from one corner to the other.
I've added an image to explain.
The formula to find the area of a triangle is half of the base × height.
A of Δ = half of 3 × 4A = 1.5 × 4 = 6 inches²!
Answer:
The probability is 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating that if a coin is flipped three times, we have the outcome in the question; THH
Now before we go on to calculate this probability, we need to understand some technicalities. Flipping a coin can only result into two outcomes as there are only two sides of a coin. These are the head and the tail. What this means is that if a coin is flipped, we should only expect landing on the head and on the tail.
Now these opposite sides have equal probability. This means the probability of landing on the head = probability of landing on the tail. These probabilities are equal as they are the only two options we have. Hence, the probabilities are 1/2 each
Hence, P(H) = P(T) = 1/2
Now, we proceed to calculating the probability of HTT
this mathematically means P(H) * P(T) * P(T) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
If you add the two terms on the right, you will get 5^14. 14 is your answer.
