A triangle has side lengths of 5 inches, 12 inches, and 15 inches. Every dimension is multiplied by 1/5 to form a new triangle.

How is the ratio of the perimeters related to the ratio of corresponding sides?

a = 5 in

b = 12 in

c = 15 in

the lengths of the sides a, b and c

the perimeter is P = a + b + c = 5 + 12 + 15 = 32 in

let the dimensions of the new triangle be

a1 = (1/5)*5 in

b1 = (1/5)*12 in

c1 = (1/5)*15 in

the perimeter is P1 = a1 + b1 + c1 = (1/5)5 + (1/5)12 + (1/5)15 = (1/5)(5 + 12 + 15) = (1/5)P1

P1 = (1/5)P

P1/P = 1/5 = a/a1 = b/b1 = c/c1

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides.

Philip ran out of time while taking a multiple-choice test and plans to guess on the last 4 questions. Each question has 5 possi
belka [17]

Answer:

There is a 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is correct, or it is not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which  is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

There are four questions, so n = 4.

Each question has 5 options, one of which is correct. So

What is the probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions?

This is

There is a 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

My guess...

3. Find two possible lengths for CD if C, D, and E
Kaylis [27]

Given :

C, D, and E  are col-linear, CE = 15.8 centimetres, and DE=  3.5 centimetres.

To Find :

Two possible lengths for CD.

Solution :

Their are two cases :

1)

When D is in between C and E .

.                   .           .

C                  D          E

Here, CD = CE - DE

CD = 15.8 - 3.5 cm

CD = 12.3 cm

2)

When E is in between D and C.

.       .                .

D      E              C

Here, CD = CE + DE

CD = 15.8 + 3.5 cm

CD = 19.3 cm

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following square root of -80
Marta_Voda [28]

You can factor -80 as

-80 = (-1)\cdot 16 \cdot 5

So, we have

\sqrt{-80} = \sqrt{(-1)\cdot 16 \cdot 5}

The square root of a product is the product of the square roots:

\sqrt{-80} = \sqrt{(-1)}\sqrt{16}\sqrt{5}

Since i^2=-1 and 4^2=16, we have

\sqrt{-80} = 4i\sqrt{5}
