Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Given that probability of you winning each game = 0.68

And probability of you winning next game = 0.81

Your friend's chance of winning/you losing would be = 1-0.68= 0.32

also his chance of winning next game = 0.73

To find probability that you would win the series given that you need to win two games to win the series

= probability that you win first game and second game+ probability that you win first game, lose second game and win third game + probability that you lose first game, win second game and win third game

= 0.68*0.81+0.68*0.32*0.68+0.32*0.68*0.81

=0.8750

Therefore probability that you would win the series = 0.8750

Note: here we found the probability of winning by adding(or) up the three possible combinations that would result in a win

worty [1.4K]
This is a right triangle equation
so a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c^2 is the hypotenuse and the 15 feet

a^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
a^2 + 81 = 225
a^2 = 144

the square root of 144 is 12

the tree is 12 feet tall
