Answer:

  y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

In straightforward fashion, we can find the midpoints of the two segments, and set the distance between them equal to 10.

  M = midpoint of AB

  M = (A+B)/2 = ((-1, 0) +(-3, 6))/2 = (-4, 6)/2 = (-2, 3)

  N = midpoint of CD

  N = (C+D)/2 = ((3, 1) +(5, y))/2 = (8, 1+y)/2 = (4, (1+y)/2)

Then the distance MN is given by the distance formula.

  |N-M| = 10 = √((4 -(-2))² +((1+y)/2 -3)²) . . . . . distance formula*

  100 = 36 +((1+y)/2 -3)² . . . . . square both sides

  64 = ((1 +y)/2 -3)² . . . . . . . . . subtract 36

  8 = (1 +y)/2 -3 . . . . . . . . . . . . (positive) square root

  11 = 1+y/2 . . . . . . . . add 3

  22 = 1+y . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

  21 = y . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

_____

* The distance formula is an application of the Pythagorean theorem. Basically, the differences of x- and y-coordinates are taken to be the legs of a right triangle. They length of the hypotenuse is the distance between the two points.

  d² = (x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)² . . . . . . . from the Pythagorean theorem

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²) . . . . . the usual distance formula

I will give brainliest. <br> What is the hypotenuse and how do I get it?
Ivan

Step-by-step explanation:

by Pythagoras theorem:

perpendicular² + base²= hypotenuse²

(1/√2)²+ (1/√3)² = H²

1/2+1/3= H²

5/6 = H²

√(5/6 )= H

√5/√6 = H

plz mark my answer as brainlist plzzzz.

hope this will be helpful to you

Here’s my dilemma, I can accept a $1000 bill or play a game ten times. For each roll of the single die, I win $500 for rolling 1
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

you should accept the $1,000 bill

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

  • $500 for rolling 1 or 2
  • $400 for rolling 3
  • lose $300 for rolling 4,5,6

P (rolling 1 or 2) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

P (rolling a 3) = 1/6

P (rolling 4 or 5 or 6) = 3/6 = 1/2

Hence, the expected value for 1 time is:

E = (1/3)*500 + (1/6)*400 - (1/2)*300

E = $166 + $66 - $150

E = $82

Expected value is linear so if you roll the die 10 times, expected value is: 10*82 = $820

The expected value is $82, meaning you should accept the $1,000 bill

In a right triangle, one leg is 20 cm and the hypotenuse is 30 cm. To the nearest hundredth of a cm, find the length of the miss
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras’ theorem

square of hypotenuse = sum of squares of two other sides

let the missing side be d

30^2 = 20^2 + d^2

600 = 400 + d^2

d^2 = 200

d = square root of 200

d = 14.142 cm
