True because they have the same size angles
Answer: 3/55
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given, the bag contains 3 red, 3 orange, 1 yellow, 2 purple marbles, and 2 Pink marbles. Each time he picks an orange marble, she will win a prize.
If he picks a marble the first time, the probability of picking an orange marble will be 3/11. After that we will have 10 marbles left as one has been picked and have 2 orange marbles left, then the probability of picking another orange marble will be 2/10.
Therefore, the probability he will win a prize on both picks will be:
= 3/11 × 2/10
= 6/110
= 3/55
Water = 5 bottles * $0.90 = $4.50
meat = 8 pounds * x amount.
Total = water + meat prices = $26.90
26.90 = $4.50 + 8x
22.40 = 8x
2.8 = x
The price per pound of meat is $2.80.
Answer:
- dimensions: 12 ft by 5 ft
- area: 60 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the shorter dimension in feet. Then the longer one is x+7 and the Pythagorean theorem tells us the relation of these to the diagonal is ...
x² + (x+7)² = 13²
2x² +14x + 49 = 169 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x² +7x -60 = 0 . . . . . subtract 169 and divide by 2
(x +12)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the equation
x = -12 or +5 . . . . . . . only the positive value of x is useful here.
The short dimension is 5 ft, so the long dimension is 12 ft. The area is their product, 60 ft².

<em>Comment on finding the area</em>
The quadratic equation above can be rearranged and factored as ...
x(x +7) = 60
Since the dimensions of the garden are x and (x+7), this product is the garden's area. This equation tells us the area is 60. We don't actually have to find the dimensions.
