Answer:

y = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

the midsegment SV is half the length of the side TU , that is

y - 9 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (y + 38) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

2y - 18 = y + 38 ( subtract y from both sides )

y - 18 = 38 ( add 18 to both sides )

y = 56

Using the distance formula $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1) +(y_2-y_1) }$ Then we assign the points letter for simplicity

$A= (-5.1),B=(-1,3),C=(2,3),D=(2,-2),E=(-3,-1)$ . The distance formula gives us the magnitude between two points hence,

$AB=\sqrt{(-5-(-1))^2+ (-1-3)^2}=\sqrt{16+16}= 5.65$

$BC=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(3-3)^2}= \sqrt{9}=3$

$CD=\sqrt{(2-2)^2+((3-(-2))^2} =\sqrt{25}=5$

$DE=\sqrt{(2-(-3))^2+(-2-(-1))^2} =\sqrt{26+1} =5.099$

$AE=\sqrt{(-3-(-5))^2+(-1-1)^2}= \sqrt{4+4} =\sqrt{8}=2.82$

$Perimeter= AB+BC+CD+DE+AE\\Perimeter=5.65+3+5+5.099+2.82=21.57 units$

What is the probability that she gets exactly 4 or exactly 5 questions right?

lions [1.4K]

Probability that the questions are answered corectly1/4 = 0.25
probability that they are answered wrong 3/4 = 0.75
probability that 4 out of 7 are corect 7C4(0.25)4(0.75)3 which equals 0.0577

Hi there!

As I saw in some other questions, I assumed this question is about unit rates..

So, the answer to this is 750 kb/m

Hope this helps!

The shampoo you like to use is on sale. But you only get the lower price if you buy 3 bottles...?

meriva

The sale price of 3 bottles of shampoo is 3s and the regular price is 3r. The amount of money you save will only come in when you buy 3. The cost you save is the difference between the regular price and the sale price. The equation is therefore,
c = 3r - 3s
