Answer:

  • 9 feet, 15 feet, 19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em> Options are: </em></u>

  • <em>2 feet </em>
  • <em>3 feet </em>
  • <em>9 feet </em>
  • <em>15 feet </em>
  • <em>19 feet </em>
  • <em>21 feet </em>
  • <em>30 feet</em>

<em>-------------------------------------</em>

Use the triangle inequality theorem: sum of any two side must be greater than the third side by length

  • 2 feet     ⇒  no, as 2 + 9 < 12
  • 3 feet     ⇒  no, as 3 + 9 = 12
  • 9 feet     ⇒  yes
  • 15 feet    ⇒  yes
  • 19 feet    ⇒  yes
  • 21 feet    ⇒  no, as 9 + 12 = 21
  • 30 feet  ⇒  no, as 9 + 12 < 30

The promising alternative energy sources currently under development are fuel cell technology and large-scale solar energy power
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Denote the event of commercially availability of f_uel cell technology as F_, commercial availability of solar power technology as S

Write the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources in the next 10 years  

P(energy supplied) = P(S ∪ F) -----(1)

Rewrite eqn (1)

P(energy supplied) = P(S) + P(F) - P(F) P(S) ----(2)

substitute 0.85 for P(S) and 0,7 for P(F) in eqn (2) to find the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources

P(energy supplied) = 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.7 * 0.85)

= 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.595)

= 1.55 - 0.595

= 0.955

Therefore, the probability that there will be energy supplied by these two alternative sources in the next 10 years is 0.955

B) write the probability of only one source of energy available

P(only one source of energy available) = P(\bar F S) ∪ P( \bar S F) ---(3)

Rewrite the equation (3)

P(only one source of energy available) =

=P(\bar F S)+P(\bar S F)\\\\=\{[1-P(F)]P(S)+[1-P(S)]P(F)\}---(4)

=\{[1-0.7]0.85+[1-0.85]0.7\}\\\\=0.255+0.105\\\\=0.36

Therefore,The probability that only one of the two alternative energy sources will be commercially viable in the next 10 years is 0.36

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is the point on the segment halfway between the endpoints. It may be the case that the midpoint of a segment can be found simply by counting. If the segment is horizontal or vertical, you can find the midpoint by dividing the length of the segment by 2 and counting that value from either of the endpoints.
