Answer: 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 letters in January, and 2 "a"s in order to find the probability, simply take 2/7. You can either leave it in the fraction form, or use the calculator, showing you have a 0.2857% chance of picking an "a"

2/7

there are 7 letters in jAnuAry and as you can see there are 2 A's so there is a 2/7 chance which is higher of a chance than the rest of the letters which are 1/7 each so it is most likely you would draw A although I can't fully say that because there is a 5/7 chance of drawing the other letters. Another way to say it is there is a 0.28571428571% chance of drawing A but there is a 0.71428571428% chance of drawing any other letter.

Hope this helps :3

Angle B= 45 degrees
Angle A = 45 degrees

A and B are congruent since they are alternate exterior angles
5x-15 = 2x +21
5x = 2x +36
3x=36
X=12
B)
2x12+21 = 45
A)
5x12-15 =45

Find the area of the trapezoid. points are (-5,-3)(4,-3)(6,-7)(-7,-7)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

44 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid with bases b₁ and b₂ and height h is given by the formula

$A=\left(\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\right)h$

If you're wondering how we get this formula, check the attached illustration (remember the area of a parallelogram is its base multiplied by its height)! Moving on to our trapezoid, the pairs of points (-5,-3)(4,-3) and (6,-7)(-7,-7) form two horizontal segments, which form b₁ and b₂, and our height is the distance between the y-coordinates -3 and -7, which is 4. We can find b₁ and b₂ by finding the distance between the x coordinates in their pairs of points:

$b_1=|-5-4|=|-9|=9\\b_2=|6-(-7)|=|6+7|=13$

Putting it altogether:

$A=\left(\dfrac{9+13}{2}\right)(4)=\left(\dfrac{22}{2}\right)(4)=(11)(4)=44$

So the area of our trapezoid is 44.
