Rachael has 20 thin rods whose lengths, in centimetres, are 1, 2, 3, ... 20. Any two rods can be connected at their ends. Rachael selects three rods to make a triangle, then three other rods to make a second triangle, and so on. a Only one of Rachael's rods cannot be the side of a triangle. Determine which one. b Rachael uses six of her rods that are no more than 7 cm to make two triangles. In how many ways can she do this? c Show how Rachael could use 15 of her rods to make five triangles, each with an even perimeter. d Rachael wants to use 18 rods to form a set of six triangles with equal perimeters. Either find such a set or explain why no such set exists.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) 1

  b) 3

  c) {{3, 6, 7}, {8, 12, 14}, {9, 10, 17}, {11, 13, 16}, {15, 18, 19}

  d) cannot do. The numbers cannot add up.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The minimum difference between rod lengths is 1. A unit-length rod cannot be used, because the sum of that and another length cannot exceed a third length. 1 + 2 = 3; is not greater than 3.

__

b) The 3 possible pairs of triangles are

  {2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7}

  {2, 4, 5}, {3, 6, 7}

  {2, 6, 7}, {3, 4, 5}

__

c) There are numerous ways to make 5 triangles having an even perimeter. One is shown above. Several more are ...

  {5, 12, 15}, {7, 17, 18}, {8, 10, 16}, {9, 13, 20}, {11, 14, 19}

  {5, 15, 16}, {6, 9, 13}, {7, 14, 19}, {8, 11, 17}, {10, 12, 18}

  {3, 9, 10}, {5, 15, 16}, {7, 13, 18}, {8, 11, 17}, {12, 14, 20}

  {4, 9, 11}, {5, 12, 13}, {7, 18, 19}, {8, 15, 17}, {10, 16, 20}

  {5, 12, 13}, {7, 18, 19}, {8, 11, 15}, {9, 17, 20}, {10, 14, 16}

__

d) No such set exists.

The sum of the 19 rod lengths is 209. Even if we throw out the rod of length 20 (to make a set of 18 rods), the perimeter must be at least 2(19)+1 = 39. Six triangles with that perimeter would require a total rod length of 6(3) = 234. The total length of rods is insufficient to make the required triangles.

Jarred went to the bookstore,
He bought a softcover book which was on sale for 10%
off. He spent $18 on the book, What was the original
price?

Answers

Answer:

the original price of the book is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

sometimes in a question, they put things in the question that don't actually help us get to the answer. usually we ignore it, but i'm going to list them out just to help you a bit more.

Things that are useless:

his name is Jarred (his name could be gary, it doesn't affect us getting the answer)he went to a bookstore (he could've gone to the library, it wont affect us getting to the answer)the book is softcover (it could be any type of book, wont affect us getting to the answer)the item is a book (it could be anything that he bought, wont affect us getting to the answer.)

Things that are helpful:

the book was on sale (helps us know that the price was reduced)the book was on sale 10% (helps us know how much it was reduced by)he spent $18 for the reduced price (helps us know how much he spent)

Ok, now that we know those, let's work on the question.

let b be the original book price

we need to find 10% so we have to use 90% (because 100 - 10 = 90)

if we needed to find 20% we would use 80% (because 100 - 20 = 80)

and so on.

  90% of b = 18    (90% of the og. book price equals 18)

90/100 × b = 18    (write a correct equation and make the percent a fraction)

    9/10 × b = 18    (simplify both sides of the equation)

         9 × b = 180  (multiply both sides of the equation to get rid of fraction)

               b = 20   (divide both sides of the equ. to get b by itself)

the original price of the book is $20

hope this helped :D

good luck my friend

(a) The mean of C is 1.0 and the standard deviation is 1.0.

(b) The mean of the total number of adult and child tickets purchased is 3.0, and the standard deviation is approximately 1.56.

(c) The mean amount spent per purchase is $65, and the standard deviation is approximately $33.54.

(a) To compute the mean of C, we multiply each value of C by its corresponding probability and sum them up:

Mean (μ) = (0 * 0.4) + (1 * 0.3) + (2 * 0.2) + (3 * 0.1) = 0 + 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1.0

To compute the standard deviation, we first need to calculate the variance. The variance (σ²) is found by summing the squares of the differences between each value of C and the mean, weighted by their corresponding probabilities:

Variance (σ²) = [(0 - 1)² * 0.4] + [(1 - 1)² * 0.3] + [(2 - 1)² * 0.2] + [(3 - 1)² * 0.1] = 0.4 + 0 + 0.2 + 0.4 = 1.0

Finally, we take the square root of the variance to obtain the standard deviation (σ):

Standard Deviation (σ) = √(1.0) = 1.0

(b) Since the numbers of child tickets and adult tickets purchased are independent, the mean of the total number of adult and child tickets purchased is the sum of their individual means:

Mean (μ) = Mean of child tickets (μ c) + Mean of adult tickets (μ a) = 1.0 + 2 = 3.0

The variance of the total number of tickets purchased is the sum of the variances of the child and adult tickets:

Variance (σ²) = Variance of child tickets (σ c²) + Variance of adult tickets (σ a²) = 1.0 + (1.2)² = 2.44

The standard deviation of the total number of tickets purchased is the square root of the variance:

Standard Deviation (σ) = √(2.44) ≈ 1.56

(c) To compute the mean and standard deviation of the total amount spent per purchase, we need to multiply the number of child tickets and adult tickets purchased by their respective prices and sum them up.

Mean (μ) = Mean number of child tickets (μ c) * Price of child ticket + Mean number of adult tickets (μ a) * Price of adult ticket

Mean (μ) = 1.0 * $15 + 2 * $25 = $15 + $50 = $65

Variance (σ²) = Variance of child tickets (σ c²) * (Price of child ticket)² + Variance of adult tickets (σ a²) * (Price of adult ticket)²

Variance (σ²) = 1.0 * ($15)² + (1.2)² * ($25)² = $225 + $900 = $1125

Standard Deviation (σ) = √(1125) ≈ $33.54

Therefore, the mean amount spent per purchase is $65, and the standard deviation is approximately $33.54.
