right triangle abc is on a coordinate plane. segment ab is on the line y = 2 and is 6 units long. point c is on the line x = −3. what is the y-value of point c if the area of δabc is 9 units squared?

Explanation:

The line y = 2 is a horizontal line passing through 2 on the y axis. Every point on this line has a y coordinate of 2. Since both A and B are on this line, this means AB is horizontal as well. This can be thought of as the base of the triangle. AB = 6 is the length of the base.

We don't know the height, so we'll call that h.

We do know the triangle area is 9 square units

The formula we'll use is

area = (base*height)/2

Plug in the given values and solve for h

9 = (6*h)/2

9*2 = 6h

18 = 6h

6h = 18

h = 18/6

h = 3

The height of the triangle is 3. This means that point C is either 3 units below y = 2 or point C is 3 units above y = 2.

If points C is 3 units below y = 2, then its y coordinate would be 2-3 = -1. But this isn't an answer choice. So we ignore this scenario.

If point C is 3 units above y = 2, then this point has a y coordinate of 2+3 = 5.

Below is one possible diagram of how the triangle could look like. Point C is always fixed at (-3,5); however point A is allowed to slide around as long as it has a y coordinate of y = 2. Point B is a similar story as point A. Furthermore, segment AB must always be 6 units long.

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

step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be the same as one of the factors.

8 denominator times 2 denominator = 16

and 7 numerator time 11 = 77

77/16= 77/16 ( they cannot be further simplified)
