Answer:

Use Pythagorean theorm.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (c is hypotenuse).

Let c = 5+b (because in the question it says the hypotenuse is one leg plus 5 more meters) ; we will solve for b and say it's the leg we don't know.

We will say A is the "other leg" we know, which is 6.

6^2 + b^2 = (5+b)^2

We get b = 1.1

Solve for x and justify your answer ​
Scorpion4ik [409]
The answer is 51°.

The top two lines are parallel to each other. Therefore alternate interior angles theorem applies. The bottom right corner that is underneath the line (for lack of a better description) is also 58°.

We also know that a triangle equals 180°. So 58+71= 129°.

So to find that missing angle we subtract 129 from 180 to get the 51°.

A group of people were asked which of three ice cream flavors they prefer. The results are shown in the table.
olchik [2.2K]

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability of a person being over 20 years old and preferring strawberry ice cream is of 12%.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.</u>

In this problem, there are 8 + 10 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 12 = 50 people, and of those, 6 are over 20 years old and prefer strawberry ice cream, hence the probability is given by:

p = 6/50 = 0.12 = 12%.

Algebra problem, please show work!
Brrunno [24]

6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2

Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:

6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2

Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:

6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)

Simplify terms:

6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)

Use distributive property:

6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)

Combine like terms for final answer:

(x-14) / 2(x+3)
