Answer: 64

Step-by-step explanation:

If EFGH is a parallelogram, its diagonals bisect each other meaning EJ and JG are congruent.

EJ = JG

4w + 4 = 2w + 18

Subtract 2w from both sides

2w + 4 = 18

Subtract 4 from both sides

2w = 14

Divide both sides by 2

w = 7

EG = EJ + JG

EG = 4w + 4 + 2w + 18

EG = 6w + 22

Now that we know what 'w' is, we can substitute it for 7

EG = 6 (7) + 22

EG = 42 + 22 = 64

The measure of EG is 64.

Hope that helped!

An experiment consists of rolling two fair number cubes. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers will be >3

liraira [26]

Answer: $\bold{\dfrac{5}{12}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

greater than 3 means the sum is either 4, 5, or 6.

There are 15 permutations that meet the criteria:

(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1,6)

(2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2,6)

(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3,6)

(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4,6)

(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5,6)

(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6,6)

There are 6²= 36 total permutations for 2 dice.

$Probability=\dfrac{\#\ of\ permutations> 3}{total\ \#\ of\ permutations}\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{15}{36}\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\$

An item costs $45.60. If there is a 30% discount on the item, what is the discounted cost of the item?

kondor19780726 [428]

Discounted Cost= Cost of Item - (Cost of Item * % Discount)

= $45.60 - ($45.60 * 30%)
convert % to decimal (30% ÷ 100)

= 45.60 - (45.60 * 0.30)
multiply in parentheses

= 45.60 - 13.68

= $31.92 discounted cost

ANSWER: The discounted cost of the item is $31.92 (savings of $13.68).

Hope this helps! :)

A baker uses a coffee mug with a diameter of 8cm to cut out circular cookies from a big sheet of cookie dough. What is the area

kodGreya [7K]

Diameter = 8 cm

radius = diameter/2 = 4 cm

A = pi * r^2

A = pi * (4 cm)^2

A = 16pi cm^2

Why does multiplying by 10 shift each digit one place to left

lesya692 [45]

Multiplying by 10 can be thought of as just adding a 0 to the right end of a number. If you have 2 and multiply it by 10, you get 20. For 1,234, you get 12,340. If you have 98,765, you can 987,650. Same thing applies for 100, 1000, 10000, ...., and so on. It moves it over depending on the number of 0's there are in the number. If it is 100, it will move two 0's over. For example, if you multiply 45 by 100, you get 4,500. The two zeros from 100 moved to the right side of the 45 to get 4500.
