We could find x by finding the leg of the implied triangle.

We could use Pythagorean’s theorem for this

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug in values

(17)^2 + b^2 = (19)^2

289 + b^2 = 361

b = 6 square root 2

We multiply this by two because there are two of these

This makes it 12 square root 2

Subtract this from 31

This will be 31-12 sqrt 2 or 14.029437...

The width of a rectangle is 4n-8.5 feet and the length is 8.5n+9 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle

Eva8 [605]

Answer: P = 25n + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width.

P = 2(l +w)

P = 2((8.5n+9) + (4n +8.5))

P = 2(12.5n +17.5)

P = 25n + 35

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

b) There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

c) There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can have two outcomes. Either it is right, or it is wrong. So, for b) and c), we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

Each question has 4 choices. So for each question, Robin has a $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$ probability of getting ir right. So $\pi = 0.25$ . There are five questions, so $n = 5$ .

(a) What is the probability that the first question she gets right is the second question?

There is a 75% probability of getting the first question wrong and there is a 25% probability of getting the second question right. These probabilities are independent.

$P = 0.75(0.25) = 0.1875$
