Answer:

x ≈ 61.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos71° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{20}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

x × cos71° = 20 ( divide both sides by cos71° )

x = $\frac{20}{cos71}$ ≈ 61.4 ( to the nearest tenth )

<h3>Answer: 61.4</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Use the cosine ratio to get the following,

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(71) = 20/x

x*cos(71) = 20

x = 20/cos(71)

x = 61.431 approximately

x = 61.4

Notes:

The hypotenuse is always the longest side of any right triangle, so x must be larger than 20.
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

The difference between a number divided by 3 and 4 is 20

Rzqust [24]

Set the number to x.

$\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{4}=20$
$\frac{4x}{12}-\frac{3x}{12}=20$
$\frac{x}{12}=20$
$x=240$

Thus, the number is 240.

A fair coin is tossed three times in succession. The set of equally likely outcomes is StartSet HHH comma HHT comma HTH comma TH

liq [111]

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a fair coin is tossed three time, the set of equally likely outcomes is:

S= {HHH,HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

n(S)=8

Let A be the event that there are exactly zero tails which means there are all heads

Then

A= {HHH}

n(A)=1

$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\=\frac{1}{8}$

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.
