Answer:
The correct answer is option 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : ΔPQR, QM is altitude of the triangle
PM = 8
MR = 18
To find = QM
Solution :
PR = 8 + 18 = 26
Let, PQ = x , QR = y, QM = z
Applying Pythagoras Theorem in ΔPQR
..[1]
Applying Pythagoras Theorem in ΔPQM
..[2]
Applying Pythagoras Theorem in ΔQMR
..[3]
Putting values of 
and 
from [2] and [3 in [1].
z = ±12
z = 12 = QM ( ignoring negative value)
The length of QM is 12.
There are six sides on each die. For each possible score on Die 1, there are six possible scores on Die 2. So the number of possible combinations is 6*6 = 36.
<span>It follows that if the dice are thrown 36 times, you would expect each combination to come up once. </span>
<span>We therefore simply need to know how many combinations add up to less than 5. (I've interpreted this as not including a total of 5 itself). </span>
<span>These combinations are: 1 and 1, 2 and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 2, 3 and 1, and 1 and 3 ---> six combinations out of 36. </span>
<span>So you'd expect a sum less than 5 six times. </span>
You plug in 2x + 4 into the y for the other equation (3x +y ) and solve for it
