-144 is -1 x 2a x 3b what is the sum of a+b?

1 answer:

BigorU [14]3 years ago

7 0

-144= -1×2a×3b
144=2a×3b
144= 6ab
24= ab

a,b could b any two factors that have a product of 24
For example a,b could = 6,4 or 8,3 or 24,1

Answer:
This question is tricky because it could have multiple answers: for example is a,b= 6,4 then a+b= 10, but if a,b=24+1=25. So, the answer is that the sum of a+b varies depending on which 2 factors of 24 a and b are equal to. Does this make sense?

Sam rolled a die 75 times. On 39 of those rolls, he had a 6. Which statement is TRUE when the probabilities are compared?

svetlana [45]

Answer:

D)The experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

75 times a die is rolled out of 39 times it got 6

To Find :

Which statement is true?

Solution:

The theoretical probability is given by the ,

Pt=No.of favorable outcomes/Total outcomes

Here favorable is getting 6 on the die

so how many times we can get 6 =1 time

Total outcomes =6

Pt=1/6

Pt=0.1667

Now for

The experimental Probability ,

Pe=Number times that event occur /Total no of trails

Here 39 times we get 6 and total no trails are 75

Pe=39/75

Pe=0.52

Hence we can say that Pe>Pt.

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow. Find the area of QRS.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The area of QRS is </em><em>238.7</em><em> sq units.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

According to properties of supplementary angles,

$m\angle R+124=180\\\\m\angle Q+132=180$

So,

$\Rightarrow m\angle R=180-124=56,\ m\angle Q=180-132=48$

As the sum of measurement of all the angles in a triangle is 180, so

$\Rightarrow m\angle S+m\angle R+m\angle Q=180$

$\Rightarrow m\angle S=180-m\angle R-m\angle Q$

$\Rightarrow m\angle S=180-56-48=76$

Then the area of the triangle will be,

$\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}qr\sin S$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 21\times 23.43\times \sin 76$

$=238.7\text{sq.units}$
