The height of a triangle is 5 m less than its base. the area of the triangle is 42 m². find the length of the base. 7m 8 m 11 m 12 m

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is:

A = ½ bh

Given that h = b - 5 and A = 42:

42 = ½ b (b - 5)

84 = b² - 5b

0 = b² - 5b - 84

0 = (b + 7) (b - 12)

b = -7, 12

The length of the base can't be negative, so b = 12 m.

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
