Directions: Solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
KonstantinChe [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture,

ΔABC and ΔADE are the similar triangles.

By the property of similar triangles,

Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AC}{AE}

\frac{x+18}{x}=\frac{28}{(28-21)}

7(x + 18) = 28x

7x + 7×18 = 28x

28x - 7x = 126

21x = 126

x = \frac{126}{21}

x = 6

The probability of drawing a quarter from a bag of coins is 4/5. What is the probability of drawing a coin that is not a quarter
elixir [45]
The sum of probability for an event happening and not happening must be equal to 1 because there is a 100% chance that one or the other will occur.

So the probability on not drawing a quarter:

P(!Q)=1-4/5

P(!Q)=5/5-4/5

P(!Q)=1/5

As a percentage:

p/100=1/5

p=100/5

p=20%

Which rectangle could be created from a parallelogram with a base of 6 and a height of 2?
nalin [4]

Answer:

A rectangle with a length of 6 and width of 2.

The corners added up make a rectangle so it is the same as a rectangle. You can just multiply 6 x 2 = 12 to find the area. If you have any more questions you are welcome to ask

Sounds as tho' you have an isosceles triangle (a triangle with 2 equal sides).  If this triangle is also a right triangle (with one 90-degree angle), then the side lengths MUST satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

Let's see whether they do.

8^2 + 8^2 = 11^2  ???
 64    + 64 = 121?  NO.  This is not a right triangle.

If you really do have 2 sides that are both of length 8, and you really do have a right triangle, then:

8^2 + 8^2 = d^2, where d=hypotenuse.  Then 64+64 = d^2, and 

d = sqrt(128) = sqrt(8*16) = 4sqrt(8) = 4*2*sqrt(2) = 8sqrt(2) = 11.3.

11 is close to 11.3, but still, this triangle cannot really have 2 sides of length 8 and one side of length 11.

Exercise 10.4.1: Bayes' Theorem - detecting a biased coin. About (a) Sally has two coins. The first coin is a fair coin and the
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.026

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of 10 coin flips :

T,T,H,T,H,T,T,T,H,T

Number of Heads, H = 3

Number of tails, T = 7

Let :

B = biased coin

B' = non-biased coin

E = event

Probability that it is the biased coin:

P(E Given biased coin) / P(E Given biased coin) * P(E Given non-biased coin) * P(non-biased coin)

P(E|B)P(B) / (P(E|B)*P(B) + P(E|B')P(B')

([(0.75^3) * (0.25^7)] * 0.5) /([(0.75^3) * (0.25^7)] * 0.5) + (0.5^10) * 0.5

0.0000128746 / 0.00050115585

= 0.0263671875
