Area of a triangle=1/2(base x height)
Area=72, Base=8, Height=2x-3
Plug it in.
72=1/2(8 x (2x-3))
72=1/2(16x-24)
72=8x-12
84=8x
x=10.5

Area=1/2 times base times height
height=2x-3
base=8

area=72
72=1/2 times (2x-3) times 8
72=(2x-3) times 4
divide both sides by 4
18=2x-3
add 3 to both sides
21=2x
divide both sides by 2
21/2=x
x=21/2=10.5

Make a table showing the probability distribution for the possible sums when tossing two four-sided dice (the sides are numbered
alexira [117]
We would have the following sample space:
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4)

Those give us these sums:
2, 3, 4, 5
3, 4, 5, 6
4, 5, 6, 7
5, 6, 7, 8

P(sum of 2) = 1/16 =0.0625
P(sum of 3) = 2/16 = 0.125
P(sum of 4) = 3/16 = 0.1875
P(sum of 5) = 4/16 = 0.25
P(sum of 6) = 3/16 = 0.1875
P(sum of 7) = 2/16 = 0.125
P(sum of 8) = 1/16 = 0.0625
