Answer:

AC = 6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

If this is a 90 degree triangle which I am assuming it is you would the Pythagorean theorem c^2 = a^2 + b^2 since bc seems long I am using that as the hypotenuse.

9^2 = 6^2 + b^2

81 = 36 + b^2

81-36 = b^2

45 = b^2

6.7 = b

so AC = 6.7

Sin(B) = opp/hyp = 32/40 = 0.8
cos(B) = adj/hyp = 24/40 = 0.6
tan(B) = opp/adj = 32/24 = 1.33 (repeating)

Suppose S and T are mutually exclusive events. Find P(S or T) if P(S) = 8/9 and P(T) = 1/10.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$\textbf{$P(S \cap T) = \frac{89}{90}$ }\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textup{Mutually events are events that cannot occur at the same time.}\\\textup{When you toss a coin you get only $head$ or only $tail$ but never both.}\\ \textup{In mathematical terms $P(A) \cup P(B) = 0$, where $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive events. }\\\textup{We know the formula:}\\$$ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B) $$\\\textup{When $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive, it will simply be:}\\$$ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) $$\\\textup{Now given:}\\ $P(S) = 8/9$ , $P(T) = 1/10$\\$
