<h2>Answer:</h2>

the pole is 22 feet long

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Multiply the length of the flagpole's shadow by meagan's height, and then divide the resulting number by the length of  her shadow.

For example, if you are 5 feet tall, your shadow is 8 feet long, and the tree's shadow is 100 feet long, the height of the tree is (100 x 5) / 8 = 62.5 feet.

I hope its right because I kind of took a good guess. If ur not sure with my answer then i suggest u dont put it unless u are.

The Area of a square at right is 72 square units Find the value of X, <br>Did I do this right?
Assoli18 [71]
Yes, your work is correct.

The diagram does illustrate x²+6x+9=72.  This is also represented by

(x+3)² = 72

We can take the square root of both sides:
\sqrt{(x+3)^2}=\sqrt{72}&#10;\\&#10;\\x+3=\pm 6 \sqrt2&#10;\\&#10;\\x+3-3=\pm 6 \sqrt{2} -3&#10;\\&#10;\\x=-3\pm 6\sqrt{2}

When we evaluate this, the answers are x = -11.5 or x = 5.5.

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. T
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. Probability distribution is associated with the following characteristics or properties;

1. The outcomes are mutually exclusive.

2. The list of outcomes is exhaustive, which simply means that the sum of all probabilities of the outcomes must equal one (1).

3. The probability for a particular value or outcome must be between 0 and 1.

Since a probability distribution gives the likelihood of an outcome or event, a single random variable is divided into two main categories, namely;

I. Probability density functions for continuous variables.

II. Discrete probability distributions for discrete variables.

For example, when a coin is tossed, you can only have a head or tail (H or T).

Also, when you throw a die, the only possible outcome is 1/6 and the total probability for it all must equal to one (1).

The ratio of boys to girls in class is 4 : 5 <br> What fraction of the class are boys
Sav [38]

Answer:

The ratio of boys to girls is 4:5. So let 4x be the number of boys and 5x be the number of girls. Then 4x+5x = 9x is the total number of students. Then the fraction of boys in the class is 4x/9x = 4/9.

Is 1 1/3 greater than any of its factor​
Aleks [24]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of 3 are 3, 1.

The factors of 11 are 11, 1.

The common factors of 3 and 11 are 1, intersecting the two sets above.

In the intersection factors of 3 ∩ factors of 11 the greatest element is 1.

Therefore, the greatest common factor of 3 and 11 is 1.
