Answer:

The length of side st is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent is a straigth line that touches a circle externally at a point on the circumference. Considering one of its properties that tangents from the same point to a fixed point outside a circle are equal.

Then,

     /rn/ = /rp/

    /tm/ = /tn/

   /sm/ = /sp/

But, /rp/ = 7, /rt/ = 17 and /sm/ = 5.

Then,

 /rt/ = /rn/ + /tn/

17 = 7 + /tn/ (∵ /rp/ = /rn/ = 7)

⇒ /tn/ = 10

Since /nt/ = 10, then /tm/ = 10 (/tm/ = /nt/)

So that,

 /st/ = /sm/ + /tm/

     = 5 +10

 /st/ = 15

The length of side st is 15.

Two hockey teams, the Winnipeg Jets (yay!) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (boo!), miraculously make it to
monitta

Answer:

There is a 54% chance that the Jets will win the Stanley Cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two hockey teams, the Winnipeg Jets and the Toronto Maple Leafs, miraculously make it to the Stanley Cup finals, where as soon as a team wins 3 games, the championship is over, and the schedule for the playoffs for home games is: Jets - Leafs - Jets - Leafs - Jets; since if the Jets are playing at home, there is a 60% chance they'll win, while if they are playing on the road, there is a 45% chance they'll win, to find the probability that the Jets win the Stanley Cup the following calculation must be performed:

(0.60 + 0.45 + 0.60 + 0.45 + 0.60) / 5 = X

2.70 / 5 = X

0.54 = X

Thus, there is a 54% chance that the Jets will win the Stanley Cup.

Solve the equation. Negative StartFraction 9 Over 15 EndFraction y + StartFraction 3 Over 21 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 Over
mina [271]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9/15y + 3/21 = 5/15 y - 14/21. Adding 14/21 to both sides we then get 9/15y + 17/21 = 5/15y. Subtracting 5/15y from both sides, we get 4/15y + 17/21 = 0.

Then we get 4/15y = -17/21. Dividing by 4/15 gets us -17/21 * 4/15 = -68/315 = y.

A three-digit number ends in number 7. If you put the number 7 in the first position, the number will increase by 324. Find the
liq [111]

Answer:

<u>The original three-digit number is 417</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out the solution to this problem, this way:

x = the two digits that are not 7

Original number = 10x+7

The value of the shifted number = 700 + x

Difference between the shifted number and the original number = 324

Therefore, we have:

324 = (700 + x) - (10x + 7)

324 = 700 + x - 10x - 7

9x = 693 - 324 (Like terms)

9x = 369

x = 369/9

x = 41

<u>The original three-digit number is 417</u>
