Answer:

There is a 8.11% of any randomly selected athlete to test positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make it easier, let's assume there are 100 athletes

5/100 have it

3/95 do not have it, but will test positive

1% of the 5 athletes who are using PEDs = 0.05%

This means that 4.95/100 will test positive

3/95 = 3.16%

(rounded, if you need a more precise answer, it's 3.1578947368421053)

3.16% + 4.95% = 8.11%

The area of a square is equivalent to the area of a rectangle. If the side lengths of the rectangular three units and 12 units w

labwork [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the side lengths of the rectangle are 3 and 12, then the area, length times width, is 36.

If the area of the square is equivalent to the area of the rectangle, then

$36=s^2$ which is the formula for the area of a square. Take the square root of 36 to get that each side of the square is 6 inches long.

Since a square has 4 sides, we get that the perimeter of that square is 4 * 6 which is 24 inches.

Help please Draw an obtuse angle (labeled BIG) Place a point P inside the angle. Now construct perpendiculars form the point to

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.

___

The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.
