Answer:

\dfrac{9}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the bag contains black and red marbles.

Number of black marbles in the bag = 2

Number of red marbles in the bag = 3

Total number of marbles in the bag = Number of black marbles + Number of red marbles = 2 + 3 = 5

Let us have a look at the formula for probability of an event E, which can be observed as:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

P(\text{First red marble}) = \dfrac{\text{Number of red marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}} = \dfrac{3}{5 }

Now, the marble chosen at first is replaced.

Therefore, the count remains the same.

P(\text{Second red marble}) = \dfrac{\text{Number of red marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}} = \dfrac{3}{5}

Now, the <em>required probability</em> can be found as:

P(\text{First red marble})\times P(\text{Second red marble}) = \dfrac{3}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{5} = \bold{\dfrac{9}{25} }

Answer:

29.74 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan(theta) = opposite / adjcent.

opposite = 8

adjacent = 14

Tan(theta) = 8/14

Tan(theta) = 0.5714

theta = tan^-1(0.5714)

theta = 29.74 degrees

Can someone help please i am really confused
Igoryamba

Answer:

so here we are told that angle CED is 39 degrees and in this diagram we have three angles the first one is Angle CED the next one is angle CEL and the last one is angle LED so angle c e l + angle LED is equals to angle c e d so in this case 3 x - 6 + x + 25 should be equal to 39 degrees collect the like terms 3 x + x + 25 - 6 is equals to 39 degrees 4X + 19 is equals to 39 cross the 19 over the equals sign that you have 4 x is equals to 39 + 19 4 x is equals to 68 divide both sides by 4 and x is equals to 17 then substitute replace where there is x with seventeen so in this case angle c e l will be 3 * 17 -6 we are multiplying 3 by 17 because it was 3 x and we got the value of x to be 17 so 3 * 17 is 51 -6 is 45 so angle CEL is 45 degrees you can do the same with the other angle that is angle LED and you get x to be 42
