Which methods could you use to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of
a horizontal line segment with endpoints at (0,0) and (20, 0)?
Check all that apply.
C. Count by hand
535 + 8
The elevation difference is a total of 543 feet between Driskill Mountain and New Orleans.
Answer:
P(A∪B) = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Red Garments = 1 red shirt + 1 red hat + 1 red pairs of pants
Total Red Garments = 3
Green Garments = 1 green shirt + 1 green scarf + 1 green pairs of pants
Total Green Garments = 3
The total number of garments = Total Red Garments + Total Green Garments:
3 + 3 = 6
Let A be the event that he selects a green garment
P(A) = Number of required outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes
P(A) = 3/6
Let B be the event that he chooses a scarf
P(B) = 1/6
The objective here is to determine P(A or B) = P(A∪B)
Using the probability set notation theory:
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
P(A∩B) = Probability that a green pair of pant is chosen = P(A) - P(B)
= 3/6-1/6
= 2/6
P(A∪B) = 1/2 + 1/6 - 2/6
P(A∪B) = 2/6
P(A∪B) = 1/3
X = measure of each of the legs
"perimeter is 8 more than 2 times one of the legs" ---> P = 2x+8
P = 28 is the given perimeter
So,
P = 2x+8
28 = 2x+8
2x+8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10
If x = 10, then the two legs add up to x+x = 10+10 = 20
Leaving P-20 = 28-20 = 8 inches left over for the base
You have the correct answer (choice D, 8 inches) though your steps are a bit confusing at some parts. Such as the part where you wrote 2x = 10 twice. I think I know what you were trying to say.
