Answer:

  10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of AC is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (-4 -1)/(3 -(-1)) = -5/4

Then the slope of CB is the opposite reciprocal, 4/5. The equation of line CB in point-slope form is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

  y -(-4) = 4/5(x -3) . . . . line CB

When y = 1 (to match the y-value of A), then ...

  1 +4 = 4/5(x -3)

  5(5/4) = (x -3) . . . . . multiply by 5/4

  6.25 +3 = x = 9.25 . . . . add 3

Point B is (9.25, 1).

The length of the hypotenuse is ...

  9.25 -(-1) = 10.25

Alisiya [41]

Let the time = x

Distance = Speed x time

One train is 75x, the other train 85x

Add together to equal total distance:

75x + 85x = 384

Simplify:

160x = 384

Divide both sides by 160:

x = 384 / 160

x = 2.4 hours

Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian
finlep [7]

Answer:

30% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boys = 2

Total number of girls = 3

Total number of students = 5

To find:

Probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl?

Solution:

Here we have to make 2 choices.

1st choice has to be boy (pianist) and 2nd choice has to be girl (alternate).

\bold{\text{Required probability }= P(\text{boy as pianist first}) \times P(\text{girl as alternate})}

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

For P(\text{boy as pianist}), number of favorable cases are 2 (total number of boys).

Total number of cases = Total number of students i.e. 5

So, P(\text{boy as pianist}) is:

P(\text{boy as pianist}) = \dfrac{2}{5}

For P(\text{girl as alternate}), number of favorable cases are 3 (total number of girls).

Now, one boy is already chosen as pianist so Total number of cases = Total number of students left i.e. (5 - 1) = 4

P(\text{girl as alternate}) = \dfrac{3}{4}

So, the required probability is:

\text{Required probability } = \dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{10} = \bold{30\%}
