Answer:

h = 6.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle ABC is a right triangle with the measures of the two sides,

BC = \frac{10}{2} = 5 units

AC = 8 units

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given triangle,

AC² = AB² + BC²

8² = AB² + 5²

AB² = 64 - 25

AB = √39

AB = 6.24 units

AB ≈ 6.2 units

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation (5y + 6)2 = 24?
lana [24]
To solve for y, apply the distributive property:
10y + 12 = 24
Then, subtract 12 from both sides and you will get:
10y = 12 \\
Then solve for y, by dividing both sides by 10.

Your final answer will be y=1.2

well, 6.2% of 4,300 can't be over half. she has made a calculation error, and the real answer is (this is where the mistake was made) 4,300 * 0.062 (not 6.2, because percents are always divided by 100 to make them into a usable number), which is equal to $266.60.

Which statement is true? the probability of randomly selecting a student who has a favorite genre of drama and is also female is
tankabanditka [31]

The correct statement is that the probability is B. Event F for female and event D for drama are independent events.

<h3>What are independent events?</h3>

It should be noted that two events are independent when the occurence of one doesn't affect the probability of another one occuring.

The probability of females will be:

= 3/5 = 0.6

The probability of drama will be:

= 40/240 = 0.167

In this case, they're both independent.
