Marco needs to climb up to the roof of his house. He placed his ladder so that the bottom of
the ladder was 4 feet away from the wall. If his ladder was 13 feet long, how high up was the
top of the ladder against the wall of the house? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A ladder placed against the wall forms a right angle triangle

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

Hypotenuse = 13 feet

Opposite = 4 feet

Adjacent = x

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

13² = 4² + x²

169 = 16 + x²

169 - 16 = x²

153 = x²

Find the square root of both sides

√153 = √x²

12.369316876852 = x

x = 12.4 feet

Adjacent = x = 12.4 feet

in how many ways can a principal choose 3 of their 30 teachers to attend a conference

need ko po ng explanation please.....​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]4,060[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\binom{30}{3}=\boxed{4060}[/tex]

There are 30 teachers for the principal to choose from initially. After the principal chooses one, there will be 29, 28, 27, and so on.

Since the principal is only choosing 3, there are [tex]30\cdot 29\cdot 28=24,360[/tex] permutations. However, the order of which the principal chooses the teachers does not matter. In other words, without loss of generality, let the name of three of the teachers be Adam, Bernie, and Carla. Regardless of whether the principal chooses Adam then Bernie then Carla or Carla then Adam then Bernie, etcetera, the same three teachers are still being chosen.

Thus, we must divide by the number of ways you can rearrange three distinct teachers, which is [tex]3![/tex].

Therefore, the desired answer is [tex]\frac{24360}{3!}=\frac{24360}{6}=\boxed{4,060}[/tex]

If we have a picture that is 3 inches wide and 5 inches long. What would the dimensions be if I want the picture to be 10in. Long?

Answers

Answer:

6 inches wide, 10 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to double 3 since 5 is doubled to 10. 3 doubled is 6.

Answer:

6in wide and 10in long

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the picture to be 10in long you need to multiply the 5in by 2, which now means you need to also multiply the 3in by 2.

Tickets numbered 1 to 20 are mixed up and then a ticket is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket drawn at random, has a multiple of 4 ?

1/2
1/5
1/4
2/5​

Answers

Answer:

Probability [Ticket drawn at random, has a multiple of 4] = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of tickets = 20

Multiple of 4 = 4 , 8 , 12 , 16 , 20

Total number of Multiple of 4 = 5

Find:

Probability [Ticket drawn at random, has a multiple of 4]

Computation:

Probability of en event = Number of favourable outcome / Total number of outcomes

Probability [Ticket drawn at random, has a multiple of 4] = Total number of Multiple of 4 / Total number of tickets

Probability [Ticket drawn at random, has a multiple of 4] = 5 / 20

Probability [Ticket drawn at random, has a multiple of 4] = 1/4

Answers

Answer:

Sorry I had to go to dinner here you go hope this helps! :D

Step-by-step explanation:

So, before we start, there are two things we have to go over.

First off, we have "or"

When using or between two probabilitess, you are basically adding them together.

For instance, you first question asks what the probability is of rolling a 5 or a number greater than 3(assuming this is a 6 sided dice).

So, rolling a 5 is a change of 1/6. Since 1 of the 6 dice iwll be 5. The other probability is a 1/2, since 3 of the 6 dice are over 3.

Now lets add these two together because of the "or":

1/2+1/6=3/6+1/6=4/6

So the probabily of rolling a 5 OR rolling a number greater than 3 is 4/6.

This is inclusive, since rolling a 5 is possible and greater than 3.

Now "and" is a bit different and more complex than or is.

Here is an example:

What is the change of rolling a even number or rolling a number above 4?

Well, rolling a even number has a probability of 1/2. Rolling a number above 4 is 1/3.

To find the "and", we multiply the two probabilities.

So 1/3*1/2=1/6

So the probability of rolling a even number and a number above 4 is 1/6.

Now, lets get back to the answers.

So what is the probability of rolling a 2 or a 6?

There is a 1/6 probability to get a 2, and a 1/6 probability to get a 6.

Add it together since they use or:

1/6+1/6=2/6

So the probability of rolling a 2 or a 6 is 2/6, or 1/3.

This is exlusive since you cant roll both a 6 and a 2 at the same time.

Next we have what the probability is of drawing a 6 or a king.

There are 13 different cards in a deck.

There is a 4/52 chance of drawing a 6(spade/heart/etc), and a 4/52 chance of drawing a king. This simplyfies to 1/13 for each.

This is:

1/13+1/13=2/13

So the probability of drawing a 6 or a king is 2/13

This is a exclusive event since a king and 6 cant be drawn at the same time.

Finally, we have:

What is the probability of drawing a queen or a spade?

Again, there is a 4/52 chance of drawing a queen. A spade, however, is different.

13 of the 52 cards can be spades, which simplies to 1/4.

So we have 1/13+1/4=4/52+13/52=17/52

So there is a 17/52 probability of drawing a queen or spade.

This is a inclusive event since it is possible to draw both a spade and queen at the same time.

Hope this answers all your questions and helps you understand what "and" "or" are in probability.

θ/360 × πr²

Where:

Central angle = θ = 135°

Radius = r = 8yd

π = 3.14

Hence,

135/360 × 3.14 ×(8yd)²

= 75.36 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape into a triangle and a square. The square's area is 2.6 × 2.3 which equals 5.98. The triangle's area is 6-2.6=3.4, 3.4×2.3= 7.82. But since its a triangle, divide it by two. 7.82÷2=3.91. Now add both of the found areas to eachother, 3.91+5.98=9.98 cm squared. Hope that makes sense and helps!

x2+c+10x+−c=c−3+−c

x2+10x=−3

x2+10x+−x2=−3+−x2

10x=−x2−3

Step 3: Add -10x to both sides.
