Answer:

11^2 + b^2 = 16^2

121 + b^2 = 256

b^2 = 135

b = 3 X q(15)

Line j passes through points 1,6 and 7,1 line k is parallel to line j. What is the slope of line k?

Mashutka [201]

Slope formula m = (y2-y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (1 - 6) / 7 - 1)
m = -5 / 6

Slope or parallel lines are the same
Slope = -5/6

What can you say about the sum of consecutive odd numbers starting with 1? that is, evaluate 1, 1c3, 1c3c5, 1c3c5c7, and so on,

Mice21 [21]

Let us add consecutive odd numbers and try to find any relationship.

1. 1

2. 1+3 = 4 ( square of 2 i.e $2^{2}$ )

3. 1+3+5 = 9 ( $3^{2}$ )

4. 1+3+5+7 = 16 ( $4^{2}$ )

5. 1+3+5+7+9 = 25 ( $5^{2}$ )

6. 1+3+5+7+9+11 = 36 ( $6^{2}$ )

7. 1+3+5+7+9+11+13 = 49 ( $7^{2}$ )

If we notice, the sum of the consecutive odd integers in each case is equal to the square of the place where it lies. For example, the sum of numbers in seventh place is equal to $7^{2}$ . The sum of the numbers in the fifth line is equal to $5^{2}$ .

Last year, 85% of students participated in the school fundraiser. Using this data, what would be the BEST prediction of how many

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

C. 272

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know 85% of the students participated last year we can assume the same amount will participate this year so to find the answer you simply do the total number of students (320) multiplied by 85% or .85 to get the best guess of how many students will participate this year.

A coin is tossed and an eight-sided die numbered 1 through 8 is rolled. Find the probability of tossing a head and then rolling

ratelena [41]

Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is calculated by number of possible outcomes/ total outcomes

From the question, a coin only has two sides, Head or Tail. Total outcomes is therefore equal to 2

Possible outcome is to toss a head, which is one event

Probability of tossing a head is therefore =1/2

The second part of the question is rolling a die with eight sides.

Here, the die is said to have eight sides, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Total outcomes is therefore equal to 8

Possible outcome of rolling a number greater than 5 is 3 possibilities, that is rolling 6, 7 and 8.

Pr(rolling > 5) is 3/8

Therefore, Pr ( head; rolling > than 5)

= 1/2 + 3/8

=7/8

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer
