To use this theorem you have to have a right triangle. There are two right triangles in your image. The lower (larger) one has two sides labeled, so you can use Pythagorean thm to find the third side. There's a short cut, bc some right triangles have easy-to-memorize lengths of the sides. 3-4-5 is one of these number sets. A multiple of this is 6-8-10. We could've solved:

b^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

But it would've come out the same. The unlabeled side is 6.

We can use the 6 and the 4 on the smaller right triangle and use the Pythagorean thm again to solve for x.

4^2 + x^2 = 6^2

16 + x^2 = 36 subtract 16 from both sides.

x^2 = 20

Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt (x^2) = sqrt 20

x = 2 sqrt(5) which is approximately 4.472.

2 sqrt(5) is an exact answer if that is what they are asking for. 4.472 is an approximation to the nearest thousandth. It would be 4.47 to the nearest hundredth or 4.5 to the nearest tenth.

A special deck of cards has ten cards. Four are green (G), four are blue (B), and two are red (R). When a card is picked, the co

Answer:

{GT, GH, BT, BH, RT, RH};

1 /5;

Mutually exclusive ;

Not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Green cards, G = 4

Blue cards, B = 4

Red cards, R = 2

For a coin toss :

{H, T}

A card is picked, then a coin is tossed :

Sample space :

{GT, GH, BT, BH, RT, RH}

2.) probability of picking a green card, then probability of landing a head on a coin toss

P(A) = number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(A) = P(green card) * P(Head)

P(A) = (4 / 10) * (1/2)

P(A) = 4 /20

P(A) = 1/5

C.)

Both A and B are mutually exclusive, since both event A and event B cannot occur together, since both red and green cannot be picked during a single pick, this either a red is picked or green is picked, then they are A and B are mutually exclusive.

D.) Event A and C are not mutually exclusive, picking a green card, event A and picking a red or blue card, event B. Both event can happen simultaneously, hence, event A and B are not mutually exclusive.
