Answers

Answer 1

Answer as a fraction = 1/720

Answer in decimal form (approximate) = 0.001388

Answer in percent form (approximate) = 0.1388%

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

Explanation:

Let A = 1 to indicate the number of ways to get the names to line up in alphabetical order.

There are B = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 different ways to arrange the six people. Notice how I started at 6 and counted my way down to 1, multiplying all along the way. This can be shortened to factorial notation to say 6! = 720. Or you could use the nPr permutation formula to get the same result (use n = 6 and r = 6).

Once you have the values of A and B, we form the fraction A/B = 1/720 which is the probability of getting the names in alphabetical order.

If you need the answer in decimal form, then use your calculator to find

1/720 = 0.001388

which converts over to 0.1388%

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for this is

∠G = 1/2(arcEH - arcHF)

We have angle G (5x - 10) and we have arcEH (195) so we have to solve for x to find the measure of arcEHF so we can add arcEH + arcHF = arcEHF

Filling in the formula with what we have:

[tex]5x-10=\frac{1}{2}(195-(8x+17))[/tex]

which simplifies down a bit to

[tex]5x-10=\frac{1}{2}(195-8x-17)[/tex] which simplifies down a bit more to

[tex]5x-10=\frac{1}{2}(178-8x)[/tex] Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction and get:

2(5x - 10) = 178 - 8x which of course simplifies to

10x - 20 = 178 - 8x. Now add 8x to both sides and at the same time add 20 to both sides to get:

18x = 198 so

x = 11. Now we can find the measure of arcHF:

arcHF is 8x + 17, so arcHF is 8(11) + 17 which is 105°.

arcEH + arcHF = arcEHF so

195 + 105 = arcEHF so

arcEHF = 300°

(2.05 MC) Triangle PQR is transformed to Triangle P'Q'R'. Triangle PQR has vertices P(4,0), Q(0,-4) and R(-8,-4). Triangle P'Q'R' has vertices P'(1,0), Q'(0,-1), and R'(-2,-1). Part A: What is the scale factor of the dilation that transforms Triangle PQR to Triangle P'Q'R' Part B: Write The Coords of triangle P"Q"R" obtained after P'Q'R' is reflected about the y-axis Part C: Are the two Triangles PQR and P"Q"R" congruent?

Answers

Answer:

Part A: The scale factor of the dilation that transforms Triangle PQR to Triangle P'Q'R' is 1/4

Part B:

P''(-1, 0)

Q''(0, -1)

R''(2, -1)

Part C:

The two Triangles PQR and P''Q''R'' are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of triangle PQR are;

P(4, 0)

Q(0, 4)

R(-8, -4)

The coordinates of triangle P'Q'R' are;

P'(1, 0)

Q'(0, -1)

R'(-2, -1)

Part A:

The scale factor of the dilation that transforms Triangle PQR to Triangle P'Q'R' can be found from the ratio of the respective coordinates as follows;

The ratio of the x, and y coordinates of the points are;

P'/P  = x'/x = 1/4, y'/y =0/0

R'/R = x'/x = -2/-8 = 1/4, y'/y =-1/-4 = 1/4

Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation that transforms Triangle PQR to Triangle P'Q'R' = 1/4

Part B: For reflection across the y-axis, we have;

Pre-image (x, y) becomes the image, (-x, y)

Therefore, we have;

Reflection of P'(1, 0) about the y-xis becomes P''(-1, 0)

Reflection of Q'(0, -1) about the y-xis becomes Q''(0, -1)

Reflection of R'(-2, -1) about the y-xis becomes R''(2, -1)

Part C:

The two Triangles PQR and P''Q''R'' are similar but they are not congruent as the dimensions of PQR are larger than the dimensions of the sides of triangle P''Q''R''.

(A) The scale factor of the dilation that transforms Triangle PQR to Triangle P'Q'R'  is 1/4

(B) Coordinates of Δ P"Q"R"

P" (-1,0)

Q"(0,-1)

R"(2,-1)

(C) Triangles PQR and P"Q"R" are not congruent.

Given

ΔPQR is transformed into ΔP'Q'R'

Coordinates of P, Q, R are

P (4,0),

Q(0,-4)

R(-8,-4)

Coordinates of P'Q'R' are

P'(1,0)

Q'(0,-1)

R'(-2,-1)

(A) By Distance formula we can find the distance between P Q and P'Q'

Distance formula = [tex]D= \sqrt{(X_2-X_1)^2+(Y_2-Y_1)^2 }[/tex]

Where D = Distance between two points [tex](X_1.Y_1) \; and\; (X_2.Y_2)[/tex]

from distance formula we can write that

[tex]PQ = \sqrt{(0-4)^2+ (-4-0)^2} }\\[/tex]

PQ = [tex]4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Similarly

P'Q'= [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

PQ /P'Q' = 4

hence the scale factor of dilation is 1/4 (Compression)

(B )The Coordinates of Reflection about y axis can be written for a point

[tex](x,y ) \; as \; (-x,y)[/tex]

So the Coordinated of Δ P"Q"R" can be written as

P" (-1,0)

Q"(0,-1)

R"(2,-1)

(C) ΔPQR  and ΔP"Q"R" are similar triangles but they are not  congruent because their sides  are not equal in size.

In a circle whose center is O, arc AB contaisn 100 degrees. Find the number of degrees in angle ABO?

Answers

Answer:

Angles ABO, BAO, and AOB are the angles of isosceles triangle AOB. The angles at A and B are equal, so we have ...

  AOB +2ABO = 180° . . . . . sum of angles in the triangle

  100° +2ABO = 180° . . . . . . use the given value

  50° +ABO = 90°  . . . . . . . . divide by 2; next, subtract 50°

  ∠ABO = 40°

Convert 1.2 radians to an

Answers

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the measure in degrees

● x/180 = 1.2/Pi

In right triangle ΔABC (m∠C = 90°), point P is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the acute angles. The distance from P to the hypotenuse is equal to 4 in. Find the perimeter of △ABC if AB = 12 in.

Answers

Answer:

the perimeter of ΔABC is 32in

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that intersection point of the angle bisectors refers to the incenter of the triangle,.

Given tmthe radius of 4inch for the centre of the incircle.

One of the properties of the incircle is that the distances (d) from vertex C to the nearest touchpoints are equal and have the value

In an incircle , the distances (d) along vertex C and touchpoints have equal value and can be expressed as

d = 1/2(a +b -c)

And a, b, c represent lengths of the sides

We were given the hypotenuse (c) as 12 in, with the radius of 4inch for the

distance from the right-angle vertex C to the incircle touchpoints .

We can determine the sum a+b as

4 = (1/2)(a+b -12) .

4/(1/2)= (a+b -12)

8= (a+b -12)

20=a+b

Which is the addition of length of the two legs of the triangle.

We can determine the perimeter which is the addition of the leg lengths as well as the hypotenuse length.

perimeter = 20 in + 12 in = 32 in

Therefore, the perimeter of ΔABC is 32in

We also know that to get the average of a set of numbers you have to add all the numbers and divide that sum by the how many numbers you have, in thsi case we have 5 numbers including b . So our equation now is : 26+b÷5=7. And if you plug in 9 for b you get 26+9÷5=7 and 26+9÷5  does equal 7 so therefore A is your answer

Given that the quadrilateral EFGH is a trapezoid, m∠H = 62° and m∠HEG = 64° calculate m∠FEG

Answers

Answer:

m∠FEG == 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

you should know that m∠FEG is equal m∠EGH. this is because sides HE and FG are equal this also means opposite angles of this sides (m∠FEG and m∠EGH) are equal.

first find the measure of m∠EGH from triangle EHG.

m∠H + m∠HEG + m∠EGH= 180°

62° + 64° + m∠EGH = 180°

m∠EGH=180° - 126°

m∠EGH=54°

due to the fact that sides HE and FG are equal thus opposite angles of sides HE and FG are also equal.

m∠FEG = m∠EGH = 54°

Explanation:

The only given number here is the 20 degree angle. So we'll start with that. This is an inscribed angle, which doubles to 2*20 = 40, and this is the measure of the arc the inscribed angle cuts off (inscribed angle theorem). Consequently, it means that central angle b is also 40 degrees.

With b = 40, we can see that c = 180-b = 180-40 = 140. This is because b+c = 180 as the two angles are supplementary.

Answer:

140 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given angle is 20 degrees then the other unknown angle would also be 20 degrees because this triangle is an isosceles triangle. 20+20+20=180 proving the triangle sum theorem.

The probability of drawing a blue and then a green and replacing the candy after the draw is 8/81.

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of sample

It is given that in a bag of M&MS there are 4 green, 6 yellow, and 8 blue candies.

The probability for blue = 8/18

The probability for green = 4/18

The probabilities of drawing a blue then green if you replace the candy after the draw will be calculated as below:-

Probability = 8/18 x 4/18

Probability = 32/324

Divide the number 32 by 324 to get the probability.

Probability = 8/81
