Questions 12-14b. Picture is now up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b = 12/14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh? @Ekaansh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 12 - 14b a question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the picture is coming up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol its okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

M

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since we know the angles are congruent, that means they are equal to each other( heh redundant statement) 5x-13=3x+6 solve for x, once you find x, determine the angle T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@completeidiot are you doing number 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13. must be less than 12 +20 and 20- 12 really just think about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait huh for number 13.. that got me confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14a. 2 midpoints out of 5 differents points probability =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14.a 2 out of 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 1 out of 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14b. the chance of picking a midpoint on the first try is the answer to 14a, 2/5 the chance of picking a second midpoint - 1 midpoint left out of 4 possible points probability 1 * probability 2= answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am really confused here because your not answering my questions nor making sure any answer i out up is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me explain number 13 basically if you had 2 sides of a triangle that were 1 and 2, the largest side must be a little less than 3 or a little greater than 1 if the 3rd side were 3, you would get a straight line with length 3 instead of a triangle if the 3rd side were 1, you would also get a straight line length 2 instead of a triangle i believe theres a postulate or a theorem that states this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14a would probably be 2/5, although probability was never one of my strong points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i understand 14a. im stuck and confused on 13 and 14b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just explained 13, i dare you, try drawing a triangle with the sides, 12-20-32 and also a triangle 8-12-20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but its still confusing and what me drawing 2 difffrent measurement triangles goanna do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

draw them and you'll see that they arent triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i suggest using a ruler for it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm you just cant give me a hint... like im really tired and drained out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

imagine you have 3 sticks with the following lengths 1 2 3 can you make a triangle out of them? the answer is no, and the easiest way to visualize it is like this. start with the LARGEST side, put that at the bottom. now put on stick on the left corner, and the other on the other corner. 1+2 = 3, so the sticks will actually just touch. there is no angle. if there was then you would have a hole

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right i understand that @alexandercpark

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use the same reasoning :) the trick to finding your bounds here is thinking of the other side as either the largest side, or not the largest side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same reasoning to get your other bound*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when i look at the problem i get confused alllllll over again and its rrally frustrating becasue i understand what yall tryna say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope that helps :( but other than that cant do much else for the tirangle stuff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe 13 is Perfect Trio 20-16-12 or 5-4-3
