Answer:

As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.

Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the equation of the line m

y = 1/2x - 4

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx + b

Therefore,

The slope of line 'm' will be = 1/2

We know that parallel lines have the 'same slopes, thus the slope of the line 'n' must be also the same i.e. 1/2

Checking the equation of the line 'n'

$x-2y=4$

solving for y to writing the equation in the slope-intercept form and determining the slope

$x-2y=4$

Add -x to both sides.

$x - 2y + (-x) = 4+(-x)$

$-2y = 4 - x$

Divide both sides by -2

$\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-x+4}{-2}$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

comparing ith the slope-intercept form of the line equation

Thus, the slope of the line 'n' will be: 1/2

As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.

Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.

Two experiments are defined below. An event is defined for each of the experiments. Experiment I: Corrine rolls a standard six-s

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: The correct answer is option C: Both events are equally likely to occur

Step-by-step explanation: For the first experiment, Corrine has a six-sided die, which means there is a total of six possible outcomes altogether. In her experiment, Corrine rolls a number greater than three. The number of events that satisfies this condition in her experiment are the numbers four, five and six (that is, 3 events). Hence the probability can be calculated as follows;

P(>3) = Number of required outcomes/Number of possible outcomes

P(>3) = 3/6

P(>3) = 1/2 or 0.5

Therefore the probability of rolling a number greater than three is 0.5 or 50%.

For the second experiment, Pablo notes heads on the first flip of a coin and then tails on the second flip. for a coin there are two outcomes in total, so the probability of the coin landing on a head is equal to the probability of the coin landing on a tail. Hence the probability can be calculated as follows;

P(Head) = Number of required outcomes/Number of all possible outcomes

P(Head) = 1/2

P(Head) = 0.5

Therefore the probability of landing on a head is 0.5 or 50%. (Note that the probability of landing on a tail is equally 0.5 or 50%)

From these results we can conclude that in both experiments , both events are equally likely to occur.

<h3>Volume:</h3>

With this prism, first separate it into a rectangular prism and a right triangle prism.

First, with the rectangular prism, it would have the units 5 * 5 * 6.3. Then with the right triangle prism, it would take the rest of the remaining space of it, being 3 * 5 * 6.3

The equation for the volume of a rectangular prism is L*W*H and the equation for the volume of a right triangle prism is (L*W*H) / 2.

With this, plug the numbers in for both prisms to get the volume of each of them:

Rectangular prism Volume

5*5*6.3

157.5

Right triangle prism Volume

(3*5*6.3) / 2

94.5 / 2

47.25

Lastly, combine these two values to get the total volume:

157.5 + 47.25 = 204.75 (Round Up) -->

204.8 cm^3 = Total Volume

<h3>Surface Area:</h3>

Next, with the surface area of the prism. For this, lets combine all of the faces of the prism then add them all up.

First, lets do the bottom of the prism, or the base. It uses the lengths 8 cm and 6.3 cm. Lets do L * W to get the area of this face:

8 * 6.3 = 50.4

Next, lets do the slant side of it, which has the lengths 5.8 and 6.3.

5.8 * 6.3 = 36.54

Then, the top side with the lengths 5cm and 6.3 cm.

5.3 * 6.3 = 33.39

After that, the left side face that opposite to the slantly one:

5 * 6.3 = 31.5

Saving the most tedious part of it for last, the right trapezoids. Luckily, there is an equation for this:

1/2 x (Sum of parallel sides) x (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides).

So, within each of these right trapezoids, there's the parallel sides of 5 and 8. There's also a perpendicular side of 5cm. With this, we can plug this into the equation to solve for this part:

1/2 x (5+8) * (5)

1/2 x (13) * (5)

1/2 x (65)

32.5

Since there's two of them, times this by 2:

32.5 * 2 ---> 65.

Now, with the area of all of the faces, these can be added up for the total surface area:

50.4 + 36.54 + 33.39 + 31.5 + 65 ---> 216.83 (Round Down)-->

216.8 cm^2 = Total Surface Area
