What is the range of possible sizes for side x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Xelga [282]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

0.5 < x < 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle (by the triangular inequality theorem), we know that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the other side.

When we have a triangle and we know two sides, let's define the measures of these sides as S1 and S2.   (such that S2 > S1)

By the first property, we will have that S1 + S2 > S3

Where S3 is the third side, the one that we do not know.

But there is also a lower restriction, given by:

S2 - S1 < S3 < S1 + S2

This is because we also must have:

S1 + S3 > S2

and

S2 + S3 > S1

We can rewrite both of these to get:

S2 - S1 < S3

S1 - S2 < S3

Because S2 > S1, the first inequality is more restrictive, so we need to use that one.

Then we get the inequality:

S2 - S1 < S3 < S1 + S2

Ok, in this case, the shorter side is 8.0 then:

S1 = 8.0

And the longer side is 8.5, then:

S2 = 8.5

And the third side is x, S3 = x

Replacing those in our inequality, we get:

8.5 - 8.0 < x < 8.5 + 8.0

0.5 < x < 16.5

This is the range of possible sizes for side x.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

a. the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

b. the probability of picking two navy or two black is

= 56/156 + 20/156 = 76/156 = 0.487

c. the probability of either 2 navy socks is picked or one black  & one navy socks.

= 40/156 + 56/156 = 96/156 = 0.615

Step-by-step explanation:

A sock drawer contains 8 navy blue socks and 5 black socks with no other socks.

If you reach in the drawer and take two socks without looking and without replacement, what is the probability that:  

Solution:

total socks = N = 8 + 5 + 0 = 13

a) you will pick a navy sock and a black sock?

Let A be the probability of picking a navy socks first.

Then P (A) = 8/13

without replacing the navy sock, will pick the black sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let B be the probability of picking a black sock again.

 P (B) = 5/12.

Then, the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

b) the colors of the two socks will match?

Let A be the probability of picking a navy socks first.

Then P (A) = 8/13

without replacing the navy sock, will pick another navy sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let B be the probability of another navy sock again.

 P (B) = 7/12.

Then, the probability of picking 2 navy sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (7/12) = 56/156 = 0.359

Let D be the probability of picking a black socks first.

Then P (D) = 5/13

without replacing the black sock, will pick another black sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let E be the probability of another black sock again.

 P (E) = 4/12.

Then, the probability of picking 2 black sock = P (D & E)

= (5/13 ) * (4/12) = 5/39 = 0.128

Now, the probability of picking two navy or two black is

= 56/156 + 20/156 = 76/156 = 0.487

c) at least one navy sock will be selected?

this means, is either you pick one navy sock and one black or two navy socks.

so, if you will pick a navy sock and a black sock, the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

also, if you will pick 2 navy sock, Then, the probability of picking 2 navy sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (7/12) = 56/156 = 0.359

now either 2 navy socks is picked or one black  one navy socks.

= 40/156 + 56/156 = 96/156 = 0.615

Harlee uses a device to convert her electronic textbook into braille. Unfortunately, the textbook did not include text descripti
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Mean: 1.5

Standard Deviation: 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of the pages have diagrams, and N is the number of pages Harlee reads to reach a page with a diagram. In order to find the mean, divide 1/(2/3) to get 1.5 as your mean, and then divide sqrt(1-(2/3))/2/3 to get .8660, which rounds to .9.

I really need help with this my deadline is very soon​
Harman [31]

Answer:

(3)\ y = -x

(5)\ y = -3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The equation in slope intercept form

Solving (3):

m = -1

(x_1,y_1) =(4,-4)

The equation in slope intercept form is:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

This gives:

y = -1(x - 4) -4

Expand

y = -x + 4 -4

y = -x

Solving (5):

m = -3

(x_1,y_1) = (1,-5)

The equation in slope intercept form is:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

This gives:

y = -3(x - 1) - 5

Expand

y = -3x + 3 - 5

y = -3x -2

If pr is 3x+14 and qr 7x-10 what is x
mr Goodwill [35]
Start the equation by putting the equations equal to each other 3x+14=7x-10
Next +10 on both sides
3x+14=7x-10
+10 +10
You are left with 3x+24=7x
because the 10's canceled each other out.
Next -3x on both sides
3x+24=7x
-3x +3x

You are left with 24= 10x
because like before the 3's canceled each other out
Now you will divide both sides by 10

24=10x
---- -----
10 10

2.4= X is the answer!
