Answer:

Measure of CD = 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a polygon = Sum of measures of all sides of the polygon

Perimeter of the given rectangle = 2(length + width)

= 2[(x + 3) + (2x - 1)]

= 2(3x + 2) units

Perimeter of triangle EFG = EF + FG + GE

= (x - 7) + (4x - 8) + (3x + 1)

= (8x - 14)

= 2(4x - 7) units

Since, perimeters of both the figures are equal,

2(3x + 2) = 2(4x - 7)

3x + 2 = 4x - 7

4x - 3x = 7 + 2

x = 9

Measure of CD = (2x - 1)

= 2(9) - 1

= 17 units

Answer:

Height=9/2=4.5

A=1/2*b*h

A=1/2*6*4.5

A=13.5

13.5*2=27

Given that f(x) = 2x −5, find the value of x that makes f(x) = 15. (5 points)

vladimir2022 [97]

First you must set f (x) =15:
15 = 2x - 5
Now you must solve like a normal equation:
15 = 2x - 5 )+5
20 = 2*x ):2
10 = x

ANSWER: The value of x is 10

Can you combine like terms without formally showing the distributive property? Explain.

blsea [12.9K]

Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.

Backgammon is a board game for two players in which the playing pieces are moved according to the roll of two dice. players win

Ivahew [28]

The rolls of the dice are independent, i.e. the outcome of the second die doesn't depend in any way on the outcome of the first die.

In cases like this, the probability of two events happening one after the other is the multiplication of the probabilities of the two events.

So, the probability of rolling two 6s is the multiplication of the probabilities of rolling a six with the first die, and another six with the second:

$P(\text{rolling two 6s}) = P(\text{rolling a 6}) \cdot P(\text{rolling a 6}) = \dfrac{1}{6} \cdot \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{36}$

Similarly,

$P(\text{rolling two 3s}) = P(\text{rolling a 3}) \cdot P(\text{rolling a 3}) = \dfrac{1}{6} \cdot \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{36}$

Actually, you can see that the probability of rolling any ordered couple is always 1/36, since the probability of rolling any number on both dice is 1/6:

$P(\text{rolling any ordered couple}) = P(\text{rolling the first number}) \cdot P(\text{rolling the second number}) = \dfrac{1}{6} \cdot \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{36}$
