Answer: A. Use Pythagorean Theorem to prove that KL is equal to c.

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

Explanation:

If we could show that KL = c, then we can tie together the following pairs of segments

EG = KM = a
GF = ML = b
EF = KL = c

Then we'd use the SSS congruence theorem to prove the triangles are congruent. The last step is to use CPCTC to conclude that angle EGF is a 90 degree angle.

Keep in mind that we need to know the actual numeric values of 'a' and 'b' to be able to determine the value for c. So without the numbers, the Pythagorean theorem isn't really useful; however, I can see where your teacher is going with this line of logic. Your teacher is effectively just laying out a basic outline more or less.

Notes:

SSS = side side side
CPCTC = corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent

Find the value of x so that the function has the given value. 2(x) = 2x + 7; n(x) = 17

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe you have ...

n(x) = 2x +7

and you want x for n(x) = 17.

17 = 2x +7

10 = 2x . . . . . . subtract 7

5 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 2

A rare form of malignant tumor occurs in 11 children in a million, so its probability is 0.000011. Four cases of this tumor occ

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

a) The mean number of cases is 0.14608 cases.

b) The probability that the number of cases is exactly 0 or 1 is 0.990.

c) The probability of more than one case is 0.010

d) No, because the probability of more than one case is very small

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this problem with a Poisson distribution, with parameter:

$\lambda=r*t=0.000011*13,280=0.14608$

a) The mean amount of cases is equal to the parameter λ=0.14608.

b) The probability of having 0 or 1 cases is:

$P(k=0)=\frac{\lambda^0 e^{-\lambda}}{0!}=\frac{1*0.864}{1} =0.864\\\\ P(k=1)=\frac{\lambda^1 e^{-\lambda}}{0!}=\frac{0.14608*0.864}{1} =0.126\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.864+0.126=0.990$

c) The probability of more than one case is:

$P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.990=0.010$

d) The cluster of 4 cases can not be due to pure chance, as it is a very high proportion of cases according to the average rate. Just having more than one case has a probability of 1%.

Hiii please help! i’ll give brainliest if you give a correct answer tysm!

VladimirAG [237]

answer

8/25

Step-by-step explanation:

so you would keep the first fraction (2/15) then you would change the symbol then you would flip the other fraction (5/12). then you would multiply 2*12=24 and 15*5=75. then you would simplifie it. it would be 8/25.
