Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon may be defined as the polygon that have sides of equal length known as equilateral and angles made up of equal angles, known as equiangular.

The $\text{number of lines}$ of symmetry in a regular polygon is always equal to the number of sides of the polygon. For example, a regular pentagon have 5 sides, so the lines of symmetry of the regular pentagon is also 5, a square having 4 sides also has 4 lines of symmetry.

Solve for x in the diagram below.

Neko [114]

Answer:

X = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that the two sides that show the degrees are equal because of the arc. We can set up a simple equation:

x + 45 = 60

x = 15

Express sin A,cos A and tan A as ratios

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Part A) $sin(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{23}$

Part B) $cos(A)=\frac{19}{23}$

Part C) $tan(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the sine of angle A is equal to divide the opposite side angle A by the hypotenuse

$sin(A)=\frac{BC}{AB}$

substitute the values

$sin(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{23}$

Part B) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the cosine of angle A is equal to divide the adjacent side angle A by the hypotenuse

$cos(A)=\frac{AC}{AB}$

substitute the values

$cos(A)=\frac{19}{23}$

Part C) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the tangent of angle A is equal to divide the opposite side angle A by the adjacent side angle A

$tan(A)=\frac{BC}{AC}$

substitute the values

$tan(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{19}$

A certain brand of dinnerware set comes in three colors: red, white, and blue. Twenty percent of customers order the red set, 45

denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) 0.20

b) 0.45

c) 0.65

d) Yes

e) Yes

f) Z = X + Y (except when X = 1 and Y = 1)

This is because the successes of X and Y are mutually exclusive events but their failures aren't. X and Y cannot both be 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a red set = 20% = 0.20

Probability of a white set = 45% = 0.45

Probability of a blue set = 35% = 0.35

Probability of the single set being a red or white set = 20% + 45% = 65% = 0.65

P(X=1) = 0.20, P(X=0) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.80

P(Y=1) = 0.45, P(Y=0) = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55

P(Z=1) = 0.65, P(Z=0) = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

a) pX = P(X=1) = 0.20

b) pY = P(Y=1) = 0.45

c) pZ = P(Z=1) = 0.65

d) Since only one order is being considered at a time, it isn't possible to order red & white set in a single set, hence, both X and Y cannot both be successes (equal to 1) at the same time. But they can both be failures (both equal to 0) if a blue set is ordered. The successes of X and Y are mutually exclusive events but their failures aren't

e) Is pZ = pX + pY

pX = 0.2, pY = 0.45, pZ = 0.65

Hence, this statement is correct!

f) Z = X + Y

Let's check all the probabilities

when X = 1 and Y = 1, Z = 1

1 ≠ 1 + 1

when X = 0 and Y = 1, Z = 1

1 = 0 + 1

when X = 1 and Y = 0, Z = 1

1 = 1 + 0

when X = 0 and Y = 0, Z = 0

0 = 0 + 0

Hence, Z = X + Y (except when X = 1 and Y = 1)

This is because the success of X and Y are mutually exclusive events but their failures aren't.
