Aroulette wheel has 38 slots in which the ball can land. two of the slots are green, 18 are red, and 18 are black. the ball is equally likely to land in any slot. the roulette wheel is going to be spun twice, and the outcomes of the two spins are independent. the probability that it lands one time on red and another time on black in any order is(a) 0.5 (b) 0.25 (c) 0.4488 (d) 0.2244
Ahighway between points a and b has been closed for repairs. an alternative route between there two locations is to travel between a and c and then from c to b what is the value of y and what is the total distance from a to c to b?
Given: ad¯¯¯¯¯ is an altitude. prove: ab2+ac2=cb2 right triangle a b c with right angle a. point d lies on side b c and segment a d is drawn. angle a d c is a right angle. drag and drop a reason into each box to correctly complete the two-column proof. statement reason ad¯¯¯¯¯ is an altitude, and ∠bac is a right angle. given ∠adb and ∠adc are right angles. definition of altitude ∠bac≅∠bda ? ∠bac≅∠adc ? ∠b≅∠b ? ∠c≅∠c reflexive property of congruence △abc∼△dba ? △abc∼△dac aa similarity postulate abbd=cbab ? ab2=(cb)(bd) cross multiply and simplify. acdc=cbac polygon similarity postulate ac2=(cb)(dc) cross multiply and simplify. ab2+ac2=ab2+(cb)(dc) addition property of equality ab2+ac2=(cb)(bd)+(cb)(dc) substitution property of equality ab2+ac2=(cb)(bd+dc) ? bd+dc=cb segment addition postulate ab2+ac2=cb2 substitution property of equality
