A computer randomly puts a point inside the rectangle. What is the probability that the point lands in triangle T?

Answer:

87.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the entire rectangle is 8 by 6,

8x6=48 so the area is 48 units^2.

The area of the triangle is A=1/2bh

A=1/2(2)(6)

A=1(6)

A=6 units^2

6/48=0.125

0.125=12.5%

You need to find the percent it will not land in the triangle, so subtract 12.5 from 100.

100-12.5=87.5

There is an 87.5% chance it will not land in the triangle

{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4,4)} domain and range

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Domain: 1, 2, 3, 4

Range: 1, 2, 3, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the first coordinate in an ordered pair which is x. In this set of ordered pairs, the first coordinates ( x ) are 1, 2, 3, 4. The range is the second coordinate in an ordered pair which is y. The range of this set of ordered pairs is 1, 2, 3, 4.

Which of the following sets of lengths can Sean use to make a right triangle?

Aleks [24]

Answer:

{8 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The length sides of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

so

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

where

c is the greater side (the hypotenuse)

a and b are the legs (perpendicular sides)

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

case 1) we have

{5 cm, 15 cm, 18 cm}

substitute in the formula

$18^2=5^2+15^2$

$324=250$ ----> is not true

therefore

Sean cannot make a right triangle with this set of lengths

case 2) we have

{6 cm, 12 cm, 16 cm}

substitute in the formula

$16^2=8^2+12^2$

$256=208$ ----> is not true

therefore

Sean cannot make a right triangle with this set of lengths

case 3) we have

{5 cm, 13 cm, 15 cm}

substitute in the formula

$15^2=5^2+13^2$

$225=194$ ----> is not true

therefore

Sean cannot make a right triangle with this set of lengths

case 4) we have

{8 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm}

substitute in the formula

$17^2=8^2+15^2$

$289=289$ ----> is true

therefore

Sean can make a right triangle with this set of lengths

Martiza remembers her pin because it is between 1000 and 1500 and it is a product of two consecutive prime numbers what is her p

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Her pin must be 1147

Step-by-step explanation:

A little trick I have up my sleeve when I have these kind of questions is that I find the square root of each number, then find what is prime.

$\sqrt{1000} = 31.6$

$\sqrt{1500} = 38.7$

Since the only prime numbers in the range of 31 and 38 is 31 and 37.

We can then multiply 31 by 37 to get 1147.
