Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that lines which appear to be tangent are tangent.

Therefor this is a right triangle.

Use the pythagorean theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

15^2 = ?^2 + 9^2

225 = ?^2 + 81

subtract 81 from both sides

144 = ?^2

Take the square root of both sides

12 = ?

Answer:

  ? = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent makes a right angle with the radius at the point of tangency. That means the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the missing length.

  ?² +9² = 12²

  ?² = 225 -81 = 144

  ? = √144 = 12

The value of ? is 12.

<em>Additional comment</em>

When you see a right triangle with the ratio of hypotenuse to leg of 15:9 = 5:3, you know immediately that it is a multiple of a 3:4:5 right triangle. Here, the scale factor is 3, so the missing side is 3×4 = 12.

Suppose that on each play of a game, a gambler either wins 1 with probability p or loses 1 with probability 1–p (or q). The gamb

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information,

Considering both cases when p = 0.5 and when p ≠ 0.5

the probability that the gambler will quit an overall winner is:

P = \dfrac{1 - (\dfrac{1-p}{p} )^K}{1- (\dfrac{1-p}{p})^N } \ \ \  is \  p  \neq 0.5  \  and\  K/N = \dfrac{1}{2}

where ;

N.k = n  and k  = m

Hence, the probability changes to:

P = \dfrac{1 -(\dfrac{1-p}{p})^m}{1 -(\dfrac{1-p}{p})^{m+n}} is  p ≠ 0.5   and k/N = \dfrac{m}{m+n}  is P = 0.5

The perimeter of a rectangular movie screen at a local cinema is 148 feet. If the length of the screen is 30 feet longer than th
Rudiy27

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)

l = length

w = width

In this problem,

w = x

l = x + 30

the perimeter = 148

Let's plug our values into the perimeter formula above.

148ft = 2(x + x + 30ft)

Combine like terms.

148ft = 2(2x + 30ft)

Distribute the 2

148ft = 4x + 60

Subtract 60 from both sides

88ft = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

22ft = x

The width = x = 22ft

The length = x + 30 = 22 + 30 = 52ft
