Answer:

C. 35.3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

From your knowledge of right triangles, you know that the hypotenuse is longer than the longest leg and shorter than the sum of the legs.

For this geometry, the distance of interest is longer than 32 km and shorter than 15+32 = 47 km. The only answer choice in the correct range is ...

35.3 km

In an experiment, a ball is drawn from an urn containing 12 purple balls and 13 green balls. If the ball is purple, two coins ar

UNO [17]

Answer:

4 elements of the sample space will have a purple ball

There are 10 elements altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes

Number of purple balls = 12, number of green balls = 13, total number of balls = 12+13 = 25

Probability (a ball drawn is purple) = 12/25

If a purple ball is drawn, two coins are tossed

1 coin has 2 elements

2 coins have 2×2 = 4 elements

Probability (a ball drawn is not purple) = 1 - 12/25 = (25-12)/25 = 13/25

If a ball drawn is not purple, three coins are tossed

1 coin has 2 elements

3 coins have 3×2 = 6 elements

Total elements = 4 + 6= 10 elements

The right triangle above has height h centimeters and hypotenuse t centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of the

White raven [17]

Answer:

$A = \frac{h\sqrt{t^{2} - h^{2}}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle:

height h, width w, hypotenuse h

Area is: $A = \frac{h*w}{2}$

Pytagoras theorem: $h^{2} + w^{2} = t^{2}$

In this question:

To find the area, in terms of h and t, we have to write w as a function of h and t. So

$h^{2} + w^{2} = t^{2}$

$w^{2} = t^{2} - h^{2}$

$w = \sqrt{t^{2} - h^{2}}$

So the area is:

$A = \frac{h*w}{2}$

$A = \frac{h\sqrt{t^{2} - h^{2}}}{2}$
