Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a pentagon is gotten through the summation of its five sides. Let the first side be represented by x. Since each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side, then the sides will be:

First side = x

Second side = x + 10

Third side = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Forth side = x + 30

Fifty side = x + 40

Therefore,

x + (x + 10) + (x + 20) + (x + 30) + (x + 40) = 500

5x + 100 = 500

5x = 500 - 100

5x = 400

x = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore, the lengths will be:

First side = x = 80cm

Second side = x + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90cm

Third side = x + 20 = 80 + 20 = 100cm

Forth side = x + 30 = 80 + 30 = 110cm

Fifty side = x + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120cm

Marianne draws a triangle with the dimensions shown, then she draws a second triangle in which the dimensions are divided by 2.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the area of a triangle: A = 1/2bh

If all of the dimensions are halved then A = 1/2(1/2*b)(1/2*h) = 1/8bh

1/8bh is 1/4 of 1/2bh.

You have a six-sided die that you roll once. Let Ri denote the event that the roll is i. Let G j denote the event that the roll
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a. P (R3 | G1)=\frac{1}{5}

b. P (R6| G3)= \frac{1}{3}

c. P(G3|E)=\frac{2}{3}

d. P (E|G3)=\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space associated with the random experiment of throwing a dice is is the equiprobable space {R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6}. Then,

a. The conditional probability that 3 is rolled given that the roll is greater than 1? P (R3 | G1) = \frac{P (R3\bigcap G1)}{P(G1)} = \frac{1/6}{5/6} = \frac{1}{5}

b. What is the conditional probability that 6 is rolled given that the roll is greater than 3? P (R6| G3) = \frac{P (R6\bigcap G3)}{P(G3)} = \frac{1/6}{3/6} = \frac{1}{3}

c. What is P [GIE], the conditional probability that the roll is greater than 3 given that the roll is even? P(G3|E) = \frac{P (G3\bigcap E)}{P(E)} = \frac{2/6}{3/6} = \frac{2}{3}

d. Given that the roll is greater than 3, what is the conditional probability that the roll is even? P (E|G3) = \frac{P (E\bigcap G3)}{P(G3)} = \frac{2/6}{3/6} = \frac{2}{3}

Line with a slope 6 passes through the points (2,-10) and (5,g)
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

8 =g

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can use the slope formula

m = ( y2 -y1)/(x2-x1)

6 = ( g - -10)/(5-2)

6 = (g+10)/(5-2)

6 = (g+10)/3

Multiply each side by 3

6*3 = g+10

18 = g+10

Subtract 10

18-10 =g

8 =g

What is the greatest common factor of 24 30 and 42
Helen [10]
List the factors of 24,30, and 24. Factors of 24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24. Factors of 30: 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30. Factors of 42: 1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42. The highest number that all of these numbers is 6. Therefore, the greatest common factor of GCF of 24,30, and 42 is 6.
