Answer:
12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
To find any side length of a right triangle given two side lengths, you would use the pythagorean theorem which is a² + b² = c². In this equation, a and b represents either the height of base of the triangle, and c represents the hypotenuse of the triangle (the diagonal line - in your question it is 13). By plugging in the base and hypotenuse, you get the equation of 5² + b² = 13². 5² is equal to 25 and 13² is equal to 169, so the equation is 25 + b² = 169. Subtract 25 for both sides of the equation and you find that b² = 144. Square both sides and the missing length is 12 because √144 = 12.
Answer:
AC = 28 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Point C is the midpoint of AB, so AC is half the length of AB:
AB/2 = (56 ft)/2 = 28 ft = AC
Answer:
1 - 1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
As strange as it may seem, the easiest way to answer this question is to calculate the probability of selecting an elephant first and then to subtract this probability from 1:
Adding up the Numbers of animals, we get 12+4+3+11, or 30. The probability of selecting an elephant is thus 3/30, or 1/10.
Thus, the probability of NOT selecting an elephant is 1 - 1/10 (Answer A).
