Answer:

5.415m and 2.585m long

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right triangle

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2 (Pythagoras theorem)

Given

hypotenuse = 6m

height(opposite) = h meters

Adjacent = (8-h)m

Substitute into the expression above;

6² = h²+(8-h)²

36 = h²+64-16h+h²

36 = 2h²-16h+64

2h²-16h+64-36 = 0

2h²-16h+28= 0

Divide through by 2

h²-8h+14 = 0

Using the general formula

h = 8±√8²-4(14)/2

h = 8±√64-56/2

h = 8±√8/2

h = 8±2.83/2

h = 8+2.83/2 and 8-2.83/2

h = 10.83/2 and 5.17/2

h = 5.415 and 2.585

hence the length of the height of the right triangle are 5.415m and 2.585m long

Number on the Cube Number of Times Rolled
Natasha2012 [34]
Total number of times cube was rolled = 100.
Total number of times a 6 was rolled = 27.
Probability of rolling a 6 = \frac{27}{100}
Total number of times coin was tossed = 100.
Total number of times a head was tossed = 41.
Probability of tossing a head = \frac{41}{100}
Therefore, probability of rolling a 6 and tossing a head = \frac{27}{100}\times\frac{41}{100}=\frac{1107}{10000}
