Answer:
P(A or B) represents the probability that a customer will buy either a mouse or a reptile at the pet store. So, there is a 20%, or 1 out 5 chance that a customer will buy either one when they come in to purchase a pet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability represents the fraction of the desired number of outcomes over the total number of outcomes. In the case of the pet store, their total outcomes can be the purchase of a mouse, reptile or bird. We don't know how much of each animal they have, however, they tell us that the probability that a customer will buy either a mouse OR a reptile is 0.20. This means that the probability of buying a mouse and the probability of buying a reptile are added together to equal 0.20 or 20% which is also 1/5.
Answer:
B one solution to the problem
Electromagnets are devices that create a magnetic field through the application of electricity. Strong electromagnets are used to lift, move and drop heavy objects, such as vehicles. Electromagnets have advantages over permanent magnets. When the current is switched off, the electromagnet will lose its magnetism. The car will fall back to earth and we need that when we move cars in a junkyard. With a regular ( permanent ) magnet it would be much harder to do.
Answer: A. True
Answer:
It is an acute triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be much easier for you to see where I'm getting at if you draw a diagram.
Assume this triangle is labelled ABC where a = 14, b = 21, and c = 16.
cos A = (16^2 + 21^2 - 14^2)/(2(16)(21))
∠A = cos^-1(0.82291...)
∠A ≅ 34.6°
cos B = 16^2 + 14^2 - 21^2)/(2(16)(14))
∠B = cos^-1(0.024...)
∠B ≅ 56.8°
∠C = 180 - (∠A + ∠B)
∠C ≅ 56.8°
Since there is no right-angle nor is there an obtuse angle,
Therefore the triangle is an acute triangle.
