Answer:

11 cm, 19 cm, 27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles have 3 sides and perimeter is the sum of all side lengths. So the equation is x + (2x-3) + (2x+5) = 57.

x + (2x-3) + (2x+5) = 57

x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57

x + 2x + 2x - 3 + 5 = 57

5x + 2 = 57

5x = 57 -2

5x = 55

x = 11

Now that we know the value of x, we can figure out the side lengths. The first side (x) is 11 cm long, the second side (2x - 3) is 19 cm, and the third side (2x + 5) is 27 cm long.

<u>Answer with step by step explanation</u>

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the sides.

There fore,

<h3>a) x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57</h3>

Now, let us solve the above equation and find the value of x.

Let us solve.

x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57

Combine like terms.

5x -3 + 5 = 57

5x + 2 = 57

5x = 57 - 2

5x = 55

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 11

And now they've asked us to write the lengths of three sides.

Let us write now.

<h3>b) x = <u>11 cm</u></h3><h3> ( 2x - 3 ) ⇒ ( 2 × 11 - 3 ) ⇒ ( 22 - 3 ) ⇒ <u>19 cm</u></h3><h3>( 2x + 5 ) ⇒ ( 2 × 11 + 5 ) ⇒ ( 22 + 5 ) ⇒ <u>27 cm</u></h3>

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

dion flips a coin 20 times and records if it comes up heads. if getting heads is a success, what is the probability of a success
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success (getting heads) on one roll DOESNT affect other rolls, so we need to find probability of getting a head in a roll.

Probability is defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

<em>Here, favorable outcome is getting a head. So, on one roll, getting a head is 1. Also, the total number of outcomes is either a head or a tail. So total number of outcomes is 2.</em>

Thus,

P(Heads) = 1/2

A card is picked from a standard deck of 52 cards. Determine the odds against and the odds in favor of selecting a red face card
timama [110]
<h3>The probability of picking a red face card from the deck  is (\frac{3}{26} )</h3><h3>The probability of NOT picking a red face card from the deck  is (\frac{23}{26} )</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cards in the deck  = 52

The total number of red( Diamond + Hearts)  face cards in the given deck

= 2 Red Queens +  2 Red jacks + 2 Red kings  = 6 cards

Let E : Event of picking a red face card from the deck

Now , P( any event)  = \frac{\textrm{The number of favorable observations}}{\textrm{Total number of observations}}

So, here P(Picking a red face card)  = \frac{\textrm{The number of red face cards}}{\textrm{Total number of cards}} =  (\frac{6}{52} ) = (\frac{3}{26})

Hence, the probability of picking a red face card from the deck  is (\frac{3}{26} )

Now, as we know P (any event NOT A)  = 1 - P(any event A)

So, P(NOT Picking a red face card) = 1 - P(Picking a red face card)

= 1 - (\frac{3}{26} ) = \frac{26-3}{26}  = (\frac{23}{26})

Hence,  the probability of NOT picking a red face card from the deck  is (\frac{23}{26} )
