Answer:

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right-angled triangle where

The height of tower id perpendicular, the distance between slash pool and base of tower is base and the length of slide will be hypotenuse.

Height of tower = h = 16 meters

Distance between slash pool and base of tower = b = 9 meters

Length of slide = s = ?

As it is a right angled triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of slide

Pythagoras theorem states that:

(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2\\s^2 = b^2+h^2\\s^2 = (9)^2+(16)^2\\s^2 = 81+256\\s^2 = 337\\s^2 = 18.36\ meters

Hence,

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

The distance between City A and City B is 270 miles. On a certain map, this distance is scaled down to 4.5 inches. If the distan
777dan777 [17]

Find the scale for how many miles per inch are on the map:

270 miles / 4.5 inches = 60 miles per inch.

On the map every 1 inch equals 60 miles.

12 inches x 60 miles per inch = 720 miles total.

City B and City C are 720 miles apart

In what 3 forms can probability be written?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

unlikely,likely,and certain

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event can only be between 0 and 1 and can also be written as a percentage. The probability of event A is often written as P ( A ) P(A) P(A)P, left parenthesis, A, right parenthesis.Probability. Probability is the likelihood or chance of an event occurring. For example, the probability of flipping a coin and it being heads is ½, because there is 1 way of getting a head and the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (a head or tail). We write P(heads) = ½ .Examples of Probability. ... Probability can be expressed in a variety of ways including a mathematically formal way such as using percentages. It can also be expressed using vocabulary such as "unlikely," "likely," "certain," or "possible." Explore several probability examples.And an event is one or more outcomes of an experiment. Probability formula is the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes. Measures the likelihood of an event in the following way: - If P(A) > P(B) then event A is more likely to occur than event B.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The pages left = total pages - the pages read

(10b + 3) - (-2b +78)

10b + 2b + 3 - 78

12b - 75

The pages left is equal to 12b - 75
