A ladder is placed 10 feet away from a tree. The length of the ladder is 25 feet. Find the height of the tree?

1 answer:

8 0

C^2= a^2 + b^2
C= 25^2 + 10^2
C= (25)(25)+ (10)(10)
= 625 + 100
= 725
square root of 725 is 26.9 ; you can round to the nearest tenth which will be 27 feet ! hope i helped(:

Can someone give me the answers plz:)

Remark

There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.

Solve

$\dfrac{x + 1.6}{2} =\text{x + 0.1}$ Multiply by 2

x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1) Remove the brackets

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2

x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2 Subtract x from both sides

1.6 = x + 0.2 Subtract 0.2 from both sides

1.6 - 0.2 = x

1.4 = x

Circle A

Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x - 2x = 1.4

Circle B

Remove the brackets.

4x + 6 = 2x - 6 Add 6 to both sides

4x + 12 = 2x Subtract 4x from both sides.

12 = -2x Divide by - 2

12/-2 = x

x = - 6 Don't circle C

I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.

3x = 4.2

x = 4.2/3

x = 1.4

Circle D

Two ballpoint pens are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue pens, 2 red pens, and 3 green pens. If X is the number

Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) f(x,y) = $\frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}}$ ; x = 0, 1 , 2; y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b) = $\frac{9}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

joint probability is a function that characterizes the distribution of a random variable. If X and Y be two random variables then the joint probability will be P(X = x, Y=y)

Given Data,

X = The number of blue Pens

Y = The number of red Pens

possible outcomes(X, Y) are (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 2), (2,0)

Please refer fig. also

total number ways of selecting any 2 pens = $\binom{8}{2}$ = $\frac{8!}{2! 6!}$ =28

f(x,y) = $\frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}}$ ; x = 0, 1 , 2; y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

P(X,Y)∈A = P(X + Y ≤ 1)

= P(0,0) + P(1,0) + P(0,1)

= $\frac{3}{28}$ + $\frac{3}{14}$ + $\frac{9}{28}$

= $\frac{9}{14}$

If a child's knowledge of the alphabet is limited to the letters a, b, c, i, and e, and if the child writes two letters at rando

Savatey [412]

The formula for probability is # of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

So we know that there are a total of 5 letters. The child writes two letters, so we will have x/5 * x/5. Now, it is asking, what is the probability that they are both vowels.

We can see that a, i, and e are vowels, so the probability if the child were to write one letter would be 3/5. Since he is writing 2, you can multiply 3/5 * 3/5, which would give you your answer, 9/25. Therefore the probability that both letters are vowels is 9/25.

Hope this helps! Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer. (Not necessarily mine). Thanks, it really helps! :D
