Answer:

$\frac{3}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Students = 28

Brown Hair = 22

NOT Brown Hair = 28 - 22 = 6

The probability of an event is the number of that event divided by total number.

So, let denote probability of without brown hair be P(NOT BROWN). So, we can say:

P(NOT BROWN) = 6/28

Reducing, we get:

P(NOT BROWN) = 3/14

<h3>Answer: 10.1 cm approximately</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

The double tickmarks show that segments DE and EB are the same length.

The diagram shows that DB = 16 cm long

We'll use these facts to find DE

DE+EB = DB

DE+DE = DB

2*DE = DB

DE = DB/2

DE = 16/2

DE = 8

-------------

Now let's focus on triangle DEC. We just found the horizontal leg is 8 units long. The vertical leg is EC which is unknown for now. We'll call it x. The hypotenuse is CD = 9

Use the pythagorean theorem to find x

a^2+b^2 = c^2

8^2+x^2 = 9^2

64+x^2 = 81

x^2 = 81 - 64

x^2 = 17

x = sqrt(17)

That makes EC to be exactly sqrt(17) units long.

If you follow those same steps for triangle ADE, then you'll find the missing length is AE = 6

---------------

So,

AC = AE+EC

AC = 6 + sqrt(17)

AC = 10.1231056256177

AC = 10.1 cm approximately

maple syrup worth $6.00 a gallon and corn syrup worth .80 cents a gallon are used to make a mixture worth $2.36 a gallon. How ma

WITCHER [35]

maple syrup = x

corn syrup = 50-x

6x + 0.8(50-x)=2.36*50

6x+40-0.8x=118

5,2x=78

x= 15 gallons of maple syrup

50-15 = 35 gallons of corn syrup

Answer:

225 m³ or 225 cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually it has 5 sides, the 2 bases, the 3 lateral faces.

The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is: $\frac{h*b*l}{2}$

Using the given measurements, we get:

$\frac{9*5*10}{2} =\\\\\frac{450}{2} =\\\\225$

The volume of the prism is 225 m³
