Answer: 2 numbers are 19 and 39

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 20

Equation: x + y + 20 = 78

⇔ x + y = 78 - 20

⇔ x + y = 58

⇔ y = 58 - x

So, we have:

x + 20 = 58 - x ( = y)

⇔ x + x = 58 - 20

⇔ 2x = 38

⇔ x = 19

⇒ y = x + 20 = 19 + 20 = 39

The black figure is an ellipse, and the black line segment is is major axis. What is the length of the blue line segment?

NeTakaya

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we need to solve this is:

$d_1+d_2=2a$

Where

$d_1$ is the distance from one focus to the vertex

$d_2$ is the second distance from another focus to same vertex

Note: Here, vertex point is the point on top. The common point from which the RED and BLUE line meets the 2 foci

$a$ is half the length of the major axis (which is 9 here since total major axis is given as 18)

Now we can plug into the equation and solve:

$d_1+d_2=2a\\8.5+d_2=2(9)\\8.5+d_2=18\\d_2=18-8.5\\d_2=9.5$

D is the correct answer.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

0.43478

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

$The \ required \ probability = P(1st ball = red) \times P(2nd ball = red) + P(1st ball = red) \times P(2nd ball = white) + P(2nd ball = red) \times P(1st ball = white) + P(1st ball = white) \times P(2nd ball = white)$

$= \dfrac{6}{6+8+10}\times \dfrac{5}{5+8+10} + \dfrac{6}{6+8+10} \times \dfrac{10}{5+8+10} + \dfrac{10}{6+8+10} \times \dfrac{6}{5+8+10} \times \dfrac{10}{6+8+10} \times \dfrac{9}{5+8+9}$

$=(\dfrac{6}{24}\times \dfrac{5}{23})+ (\dfrac{6}{24}\times \dfrac{10}{23}) +( \dfrac{10}{24}\times \dfrac{6}{23} ) + (\dfrac{10}{24}\times \dfrac{9}{23})$

= 0.05434782609 + 0.1086956522 + 0.1086956522 + 0.1630434783

= 0.4347826088

≅ 0.43478

WARRIOR [948]

The answer is 10 ft. make a triangle 6ft tall, 8ft long (90 degrees to the other line) and draw a line to complete the triangle. This is a type of 3,4,5 triangle, a 6,8,10. The other way to do it is sqrt(6^2+8^2) = sqrt(36+64) = sqrt (100) = 10.
