Answer:

The answer is 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees.

The sum of all the angles of a triangle always equals 180 degrees. Write down the difference you found when subtracting the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. This is the value of X.

62+20=82

180-82=98

98+20+62=180

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 15 cm and the other leg measures 6 cm.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

16.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagoran theorem

a² + b² = c²

15² + 6² = c²

225 + 36 = c²

261 = c²

Take the square root of both sides

16.1554944214 = c

A taxi charges $20 flat fee for the first 5 miles (even if it takes the rider one mile the cost is $20) and after that the addit

Free_Kalibri [48]

Ok so, we have the fact that 1.20 per mile Lets represent m as each additional mile so we have 1.20m which is That much per additional mile So For the first 5 functions we have f(1) = 20 f(2) = 20 f(3) = 20 f(4) = 20 f(5) = 20 Only for the first 5 miles though, since it is a flat fee. So for the additional miles we go back to what I said in the first Paragraph. 1.20m That is for additional miles, so that will be added to 20 So if you travel more than 5 miles the function looks like this: f(x) = 20 + 1.20m So the first 5 miles it is: f(x) = 20 For 7 mles the function would look like: f(7) = 20 + 1.20(2) It is a 2 because it is the additional mile, which is 2 hope this helps

If the ratio of the measure of the complement of an angle to the measure of its supplement is 1:3, find the measure of the angle

prohojiy [21]

Set up and solve an equation:

3(90-x) = (180-x). Then 270 - 3x = 180 - x, or 270 - 180 = 2x.
90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.

Is this true? 3(90-45) = (180-45)? If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.

The ratio of jumps to falls for ice skater Rhonda is 4 falls to every 15 jumps. At this rate, how many times will she not fall i

Inessa05 [86]

<u>Answer:</u>

Rhonda will not fall 264 times in 360 jumps.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The ratio of jumps to falls for ice skater Rhonda is 4 falls to every 15 jumps.

We have to find At this rate, how many times will she not fall in 360 jumps.

Now,

For 15 jumps → 4 falls

For 360 jumps → n falls

Now apply Chris cross method,

$15 \times n=360 \times 4 \rightarrow n=\frac{360 \times 4}{15}=24 \times 4=96$

So, she falls 96 times in 360 jumps.

Then, number of times she will not fall = 360 jumps – 96 falls = 264 times.

Hence, Rhonda will not fall 264 times in 360 jumps.

According to a 2018 survey by Bankrate, 20% of adults in the United States save nothing for retirement (CNBC website). Suppose t

nalin [4]

Answer:

0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they save nothing for retirement, or they save something. The probability of an adult saving nothing for retirement is independent of any other adult. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of adults in the United States save nothing for retirement (CNBC website).

This means that $p = 0.2$

Suppose that sixteen adults in the United States are selected randomly.

This means that $n = 16$

What is the probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement?

This is:

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{16,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{16} = 0.0281$

$P(X = 1) = C_{16,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{15} = 0.1126$

$P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.2111$

$P(X = 3) = C_{16,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{13} = 0.2463$

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0281 + 0.1126 + 0.2111 + 0.2463 = 0.5981$

0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement
