Totally Blanking On How Medians Work

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: FC = 16

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

The three medians of this triangle are:

PFREQD

These segments go from one vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

The median we'll focus on is PF.

The point C is the centroid of the triangle. It's where the three medians intersect. It turns out that C divides PF such that CF is twice as long as PC

In other words,

CF = 2*PC

This means,

PF = PC+CF .... segment addition postulate

PF = PC+2*PC ... replace CF with 2*PC

PF = 3*PC .... combine like terms

So the median PF is three times the length of its portion PC

We're told that PF = 24

We can then find the following:

PF = 3*PC

24 = 3*PC

3*PC = 24

PC = 24/3

PC = 8

Then we double this to get the length of CF

CF = 2*PC

CF = 2*8

CF = 16

This is the same as FC because the order of the endpoints don't matter when it comes to naming a segment.

The final answer is 16.

Suppose that your boss must choose four employees in your office to attend a conference in Jamaica. Because all 19 of you want to go, he decides that the only fair way is to draw names out of a hat. What is the probability that you, Samuel, Lisa, and Andrew are chosen

Answers

Answer: the probability that I, Samuel Lisa and Andrew are chosen is 0.0003

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Number of 4 employees are to be chosen from 19 of them;

so Number of ways to choose 4 employees from 19 employees = ?

we know that;

c(n,r) = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}n\\r\end{array}\right][/tex] = n! / ( r!(n-r)!)

so we substitute

c(19,4) = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}19\\4\end{array}\right][/tex] = 19! / ( 4!( 19-4 )!) = 3876

so the probability that I, Samuel Lisa and Andrew are chosen will be;

⇒ 1 / 3876 = 0.0002579 ≈ 0.0003

the probability that I, Samuel Lisa and Andrew are chosen is 0.0003

32. The price of a box of tarts is $1 cheaper than that of a loaf of bread. If 3 times the price of a
loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts, find the price of a box of
tarts.
A. $4.3
B. $7.7
C. $9.84
D. $13

Answers

Answer: $8.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a bread = x

Let the price of a tarts = x - 1

If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:

3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5

3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5

3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5

3.5x = 30

x = 30/3.5

x = 8.6

Consider a binomial experiment with n = 5 trials where the probability of success on a single trial is p = 0.30. (a) Find P(r = 0). (b) Find P(r ≥ 1) by using the complement rule.

Answers

Answer:

0.16807 ; 0.83193

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of trials, n = 5

Probability of success, p = 0.30

P(r = 0)

Using the binomial probability relation :

P(x =r) = nCr * p^r * (1 - p)^(n - r)

(a) Find P(r = 0).

P(r = 0) = 5C0 * 0.3^0 * (0.7)^(5- 0)

= 1 * 1 * 0.16807

= 0.16807

(b) Find P(r ≥ 1) by using the complement rule

P(r ≥ 1) = 1 - P(r = 0)

P(r ≥ 1) = 1 - 0.16807

P(r ≥ 1) = 0.83193

Jenn is preparing brown rice. She needs 1 1 2 cups of brown rice and 2 cups of water. Jenn has only a 1 8 -cup measuring cup. How many 1 8 -cups each of rice and water will Jenn use to prepare the rice?

Answers

Answer:

She will need 12 1/8 cups of brown rice and 16 1/8 cups of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

You will want to convert 1 1/2 cups into an improper fraction, as well as 2 cups.

1 1/2 = 3/2

2 = 2/1

Now that you have done that you will then have to find a common denominator. You will need to list the multiples for 8 and lowest common factor so you don't have to simplify at the end.

The multiples of 8: 1, 2, 4, and 8

As shown above 2 is a multiple of 8. Therefore you will need to multiply the denominator by 4. This is because 2 x 4 equals 8. So now the denominator is 8. You will now need to multiply the numerator by 4 because that is what you multiplied the bottom by. It will be 3 x 4, and will therefore equal 12. The final improper fraction will be 12/8. The numerator then becomes the answer because that is the amount of 1/8 cups that you will need.

You then repeat this with 2/1. However you will need to multiply the denominator by a different number because it is 1. Looking at the multiples of 8 above, you will multiply the 1 by 8, therefore giving you 8 as the denominator. You will then multiply the numerator by 8 as well. This will result in an answer of 16. You will then have a 16/8. You will need 16 1/8 cups of water.

Answer-So the dimensions of the rectangle are width is 4 m and length is 11 m

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for Perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2W + 2L

 

Defining the variables, let

 

Width = x

Length = 2x+3 (3 more than twice the width)

 

Plugging everything into the equation

 

30= 2(x) + 2(2x+3)  using the distributive property,

30=2x+4x+6  combining like terms

30=6x+6  subtracting 6 from both sides,

24=6x  divide both sides by 6

4=x  This means that the width is 4 m

 

To get the length, use the expression L=2x+3 and plug in x = 4 that was already solved for

L=2(4)+3

L=8+3 = 11 m

 

So the dimensions of the rectangle are width is 4 m and length is 11 m
