Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 17 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for c.

c² = 15² + 8²
=> c² = 225 + 64
=> c² = 289
=> c = 17

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse is 17 km.

Answer:

17 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorm is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this problem we can call 8 km a and 15 km b.

Plug 8 and 15 into the pythagorean theorm to get 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2

This will give you 289=c^2

Take the square root of both sides to get c=17

Hope this helps!

You spin the spinner, flip a coin, then spin the spinner again. Find the probability of the compound event. Write your answer as

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The probability of not spinning a 5, flipping heads, then spinning a 1 is 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

I may assume the spin contains 5 numbers ( plz change and recalculate if the no. of numbers is different)

P(not spinning a 5) = 4/5

P(flipping head) = 1/2

P(spinning 1) = 1/5

P(not spinning a 5, flipping heads, then spinning a 1)= 4/5 * 1/2 * 1/5 = 0.08 = 0.1

Answer:

<h2>4th option: 19 units2 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>The given figure can be divided as (i) upper rectangle, (ii) lower rectangle </h3>

Then,

(i) Breadth of upper rectangle = 2 units

Length of upper rectangle = 8 - 1 = 7 units

Therefore, 

Area of the upper rectangle = 7 × 2 = 14 units2

(ii) Breadth of lower rectangle = 1 unit

Length of lower rectangle = 5 units

Therefore, 

Area of the lower rectangle = 5 × 1 = 5 units2

Since,

Area of the figure is = Area of upper rectangle + Area of lower rectangle 

= 14 units2 + 5 units2

= 19 units2 (Ans) (4th option)

Please help I don't understand!

True

$\sf \green{Explanation}$

As it is said in the question the probability of getting a head is 0.5. And, if we toss it two times it will be 0.25.

We'll have to multiply 0.5 with 0.5.
