Laurissa rolls two number cubes, each with the numbers 1 though 6. Laurissa adds the numbers that appear on the roll. Which two

sums have an equal chance of occurring

Answer:

I will use the notation:

Cube1 + Cube2 = sum.

Ok, each number cube has 6 options, so the total number of possible combinations is equal to the product of the number of options for each event we have two events (two number cubes).

Then:

C = 6*6 = 36

we have 36 possible combinations.

Now, let's look at the sums that have the same number of combinations (which would mean that have the same number of combinations).

For example, the lower result possible is two ones:

1 + 1 = 2

(only one outcome adds up to 2)

And the maximum result possible is two sixes:

6 + 6 = 12

(only one outcome adds up to 12)

Then 2 and 12 have the same probability, 1/36.

Now we can keep loking at 2 + 1 and 12 - 1.

2 + 1 = 3

The outcomes that add up to 3 are:

1 + 2 = 3

2 + 1 = 3

(two outcomes out of 36)

12 - 1 = 11

The outcomes that add up to 11 are:

6 + 5 = 11

5 + 6 = 11

(Two outcomes out of 36)

Then 3 and 11 have the same probability, 2/36.

And we can notice the pattern here.

4 and 10 will have the same probability 3/36

5 and 9 will have the same probability 4/36

6 and 8 will have the same probability 5/36

7 is the only option that does not have a pair, the probability is 6/36.

Use always, sometimes or never to make a true statement:
viva [34]

Answer:

1. Intersecting lines are <u>always</u> coplanar

2. Two planes <u>never</u> intersect in exactly one point

3. Three points are <u>always</u> coplanar

4. A plane containing two points of a line <u>always</u> contains the entire line

5. Four points are <u>sometimes</u> coplanar

6. Two lines <u>never</u> meet in more than one point.

7. Two skew lines are <u>never</u> coplanar

8. Line TQ and Line QT are <u>always</u> the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Coplanar means "In the same plane"

1. Each line exist in many planes. But different lines must share at least one plane for them to intersect. That is why intersecting lines are always coplanar.

2. Two planes never intersect at exactly one point because only lines intersect at a point. Planes can only intersect along a line.

3.Three points are always coplanar because in geometry, a group of points are coplanar because there is a geometric plane that they all lie on.

4. A plane containing two points of a line always contains the entire line. Yes

5. Four points are only sometimes coplanar because there is a probability that they may all not lie on the same plane

6. Two lines never meet in more than one point because lines are basically straight and cannot bend over to intersect at another point

7. Two skew lines are never coplanar because skews lines are lines that do not intersect and are never parallel.

8. Line TQ and Line QT are always the same line because a line is straight and extends from one point to the other. So, if a line is labelled TQ calling it QT means the same thing

If the length of a rectangle is a two-digit number with identical digits and the width is 1/10 the length and the perimeter is 2
Oksanka [162]

If the length of a rectangle is a two-digit number with identical digits and the width is 1/10 the length and the perimeter is 2 times the area of the rectangle, what is the the length and the width

Solution:

Let the length of rectangle=x

Width of rectangle=x/10

Perimeter is 2(Length+Width)

= 2(x+x/10)

Area of Rectangle= Length* Width=x*x/10

As, Perimeter=2(Area)

So,2(x+x/10)=2(x*x/10)

Multiplying the equation with 10, we get,

2(10x+x)=2x²

Adding Like terms, 10x+x=11x

2(11x)=2x^2

22x=2x²

2x²-22x=0

2x(x-11)=0

By Zero Product property, either x=0

or, x-11=0

or, x=11

So, Width=x/10=11/10=1.1

Checking:

So, Perimeter=2(Length +Width)=2(11+1.1)=2*(12.1)=24.2

Area=Length*Width=11*1.1=12.1

Hence, Perimeter= 2 Area

As,24.2=2*12.1=24.2

So, Perimeter=2 Area

So, Answer:Length of Rectangle=11 units

Width of Rectangle=1.1 units

Please answer the attached question by selecting of the the given answers.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. Base = 11 cm and height = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, height of a triangle is 2 cm more than its base.Then height is increased by 2 cm.Then the area of triangle becomes 82.5 cm²

<u>To find the base an d height of original triangle</u>

Let x be the original base 'b' then the height  h = x + 2

New height h = x + 2 + 2 = x + 4

Area = bh/2

82.5= (x(x + 4)/2

165 = x² + 4x

x + 4x - 165 = 0

Solving we get x = 11 and x = -15

Take positive value x = 11

Therefore base = 11 and height = x + 2 = 13 cm

The correct answer is option A. Base = 11 cm and height = 13 cm

4x + y = 2<br> I need to solve the literal equation for y.
Mama L [17]

Answer: y=2−4x

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for y in this problem(4x+y=2) we need to get y by itself in the equation. To do this we need to move 4x over to the right side of the equation. To do this we subtract, 4x from both sides of the equation.
