Answer: 3 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The base of the triangle is 3\frac{2}{5}\ inches

The area of the triangle is 5\frac{1}{10}\ inches^2

Solve mixed fraction

Base is

=3\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{17}{5}\ in.

Area is

=5\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{51}{10}\ in.^2

The area of the triangle is given by

\Rightarrow \text{Area A=}\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}

Insert the values to get the height

\Rightarrow \dfrac{51}{10}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{17}{5}\times \text{height}\\\\\Rightarrow \text{height}=3\ in.

Mixed in a drawer are 44 blue​ socks, 88 white​ socks, and 44 gray socks. You pull out two​ socks, one at a​ time, without looki
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the drawer,

Number of blue socks = 4

Number of white socks = 8

Number of gray socks = 4

Total number of socks  = 4 + 8 + 4 = 16

Total ways to select 2 socks form 16 socks is

^{16}C_2=\dfrac{16!}{2!(16-2)!}=120

Total ways to select 2 socks of the same color is

T = Possible ways of (2 blue + 2 white +2 gray) socks

  = ^{4}C_2+^{8}C_2+^{4}C_2

  = 6+28+6

  = 40

The probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is

Probability=\dfrac{\text{Total ways to select 2 socks of the same color}}{\text{Total ways to select 2 socks form 16 socks}}

Probability=\dfrac{40}{120}

Probability=\dfrac{1}{3}

Therefore, the probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is 1/3.

poizon [28]

Answer:

w = - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean

\frac{w+3}{3} = - 4 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

w + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

w = - 15
