Answer: The base is 2 units and the height is 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can plot the points  (-4, 7), (-2, 7), (-2, 1), and (-4, 1) and obtain the rectangle shown in the figure attached.

As you can see in the figure, the distance between the points of the base is:

d=\sqrt{(-2-(-4))^2+(1-1)^2}\\d=2

Then the lenght of the base is 2 units

The distance between the points of the height is:

 d=\sqrt{(-2-(-2))^2+(1-7)^2}\\d=6

Then the height is 6 units

ANSWER

The height is 6 units.

The base is 2 units.

EXPLANATION

The given rectangle has vertices (–4, 7), (–2, 7), (–2, 1), and (–4, 1).

To find the height of the rectangle, we use the points (-2,7) and (-2,1) or

(-4,7) and (-4,1) because they form the vertical side of the rectangle.

The height is

|7-1|=6 units

To find the base, use the points (-2,7) and (-4,7) or (-2,1) and (-4,1).

The base is

|-2--4|=2 units

There are some monkeys in the zoo. 60% are young monkeys and the remaining are baby and old monkeys. The ratio of baby monkeys t
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

There are 60 monkeys in the Zoo

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of monkeys in a Zoo given some information to use.

Let’s have the total number of monkeys be m.

60% are going monkeys. This means number of young monkeys is 0.6m.

The number of baby and old monkeys is obviously 0.4m.

Ratio of baby to old monkeys is 3:1. This means if we splitter 0.4m into 4, number of baby monkeys is 0.3m while number of old monkeys is 0.1m

Now, subtracting the number of baby monkeys from young monkeys give a total of 18 monkeys.

Let’s project this mathematically;

This means ;

0.6m - 0.3m = 18

0.3m = 18

m = 18/0.3

m = 60

Irina-Kira [14]
Let angle be x 
4 times complement = 4(90 - x)
2/3 times its supplement = 2/3(180 - x)

4(90 - x) = 2/3 (180 - x)
360 - 4x = 120 - 2/3 x
240 =  3 1/3 x
x =  240  /  10/3  = 240 * 3/10  = 72 degrees Answer

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

9.

The probabilities are the same

10.

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

9.

Assuming the coin is fair;

The probability of getting heads in a single toss is, P(H) = 1/2

The probability of getting tails in a single toss is, P(T) = 1/2

Now, P(H,H,H) is the probability of obtaining 3 heads in the e tosses. Since each toss is independent of the others,;

P(H,H,H) = P(H)*P(H)*P(H)

              = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

On the other hand, P(H,T,H) is the probability of obtaining a head followed by a tail followed by a final head. Using the independence property;

P(H,T,H) = P(H)*P(T)*P(H)

              = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Therefore, P(H,H,H) = P(H,T,H)

10.

We are informed that a coin is tossed and a number cube is rolled. We are to determine the following probability;

P(heads, a number less than 5)

Assuming the coin is fair;

The probability of getting heads in a single toss is, P(H) = 1/2

Assuming the number cube is fair as well, the probability of rolling a number less than 5 is;

4/6 = 2/3

This is because there are 4 numbers less than 5, (1, 2, 3, 4) while the cube has 6 sides.

P(heads, a number less than 5), the events presented here are independent since the outcome from tossing the coin does not in any way determine the outcome from rolling the number cube. Therefore,;

P(heads, a number less than 5) = P(heads)*P(a number less than 5)

                                                    = 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3
