Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, thus

BD = AC, that is

2x - 12 = x + 5 ( subtract x from both sides )

x - 12 = 5 ( add 12 to both sides )

x = 17

To find the height of a pole, a surveyor moves 150 feet away from the base of the pole and then, with a transit 4 feet tall, mea

ladessa [460]

Answer: The answer is 139 feet

H = height of the pole =?

BC = ED = height of the transit = 4 ft

CD = BE = distance moved away from the base of the pole = 140 ft

Consider the ΔABE

tan44 = AE/BE

tan44 = h/140

h = 140 tan44

h = 135.2 ft

H = height of pole = AE + ED = h + ED = 135.2 + 4

H = 139.2 ft

Use the counting principle to determine the number of elements in the sample space. The possible ways to complete a multiple-cho

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4294967296 possible ways to complete such a test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The first step is to define the fundamental principle of counting. The fundamental principle of counting states that if a process can be carried out in n steps, where there are $n_1$ ways to complete the first step, $n_2$ ways to complete the second step, $n_3$ , and $n_k$ ways to complete the $k^{th}$ step, this process can be carried out in $n_1\times n_2\times n_3\times ...\times n_k$ ways.

Step 2

We use the fundamental principle of counting with $n=4$ for a total of $k=16$ steps. This test can be carried out in $4^{16}=4294967296$ ways. This comes from multiplying 4 by itself 16 times.
