Answer:

Area of the triangle is 10 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle is: "base x height / 2", and in this case, we can consider the triangle's base as the segment that joins the vertices (5, 4) and (5, 8) which gives a segment length of 4 units. The height of the triangle is then the distance between the third vertex (0,7) and the base, which is exactly 5 units. Then the area becomes:

Area = 4 x 5 / 2 = 10 square units.

A doctor gives a patient a 6060% chance of surviving bypass surgery after a heart attack. if the patient survives the surgery,

DENIUS [597]

Let BS be the event that the patient survives bypass surgery. Let H be the event that the heart damage will heal. Then P(BS) = 0.60, and also we have a conditional probability: GIVEN that the patient survives, the probability that the heart damage will heal is 0.5, that is P(H|BS) = 0.5 We want to know P(BS and H). Using the formula of the conditional probability: P(H and BS) = P(H|BS)·P(BS) = (0.6)(0.5) = 0.3

Answer:

arc BC = 16°

arc ABC = 196°

Step-by-step explanation:

arc BC = 180 - 164 = 16

arc ABC = 180 + 16 = 196
