Answers:

Part (a) 10*sqrt(13)
Part (b) 10*sqrt(5)

Those values are exact. They approximate to:

10*sqrt(13) = 36.0555

10*sqrt(5) = 22.3607

====================================================

Explanation:

Part (a)

If the unknown third side is the hypotenuse then we need to find the value of c when a = 20 and b = 30.

Apply the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

20^2 + 30^2 = c^2

400 + 900 = c^2

1300 = c^2

c^2 = 1300

c = sqrt(1300)

c = sqrt(100*13)

c = sqrt(100)*sqrt(13)

c = 10*sqrt(13) .... exact length

c = 36.0555 ...... approximate length

------------------------------------

Part (b)

If the third side is not the hypotenuse then that must mean c = 30 is the hypotenuse as this side is larger than the 20 cm side. The hypotenuse is always the longest side.

Let a = 20 be the known leg. Let's find the other unknown leg b using the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

20^2 + b^2 = 30^2

400 + b^2 = 900

b^2 = 900-400

b^2 = 500

b = sqrt(500)

b = sqrt(100*5)

b = sqrt(100)*sqrt(5)

b = 10*sqrt(5) ..... exact length

b = 22.3607 ....... approximate length

Answer:

The probability that our guess is correct = 0.857.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is based on A Conditional Probability with Biased Coins.

Given data:

P(Head | A) = 0.1

P(Head | B) = 0.6

<u>By using Bayes' theorem:</u>

$P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)}$

We know that P(B) = 0.5 = P(A), because coins A and B are equally likely to be picked.

Now,

P(Head) = P(A) × P(head | A) + P(B) × P(Head | B)

By putting the value, we get

P(Head) = 0.5 × 0.1 + 0.5 × 0.6

P(Head) = 0.35

Now put this value in $P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)}$ , we get

$P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)}$

$P(B|Head) = 0.6 \times \frac{0.5}{0.35}$

$P(B|Head) = 0.857$

Similarly.

$P(A|Head) = 0.857$

Hence, the probability that our guess is correct = 0.857.

Angle ACB is an inscribed angle of circle P. What is the measure of angle ACB if arc MAB is equal to 50 degrees?

Yakvenalex [24]

∠ACB is an inscribed angle, so

m∠ACB= (1/2)mAB =(1/2)*50=25⁰

m∠ACB= 25⁰

A garden has 8 white roses and 11 red roses. One rose is plucked from the garden and then one more rose is plucked without repla

liberstina [14]

P(r/w) is the probability of picking a red rose at first picking and a white rose at second picking.
P(w/r) is the probability of picking a white rose at first picking and a red rose at second picking.

P(r/w) = $\frac{11}{19}$ × $\frac{8}{18}$ = $\frac{88}{342}$
P(w/r) = $\frac{8}{19}$ × $\frac{11}{18}$ = $\frac{88}{342}$

Notice that the second fraction is out of 18 because the second picking of rose will be out of 18 since the first rose is not replaced.

P(r/w) equals to P(w/r)
