socks. the lights are out, and you're in a rush to leave. what is the smallest number of socks you should pull out so that you can be assured that you will have at least one pair of matching socks? note that there are no left or right socks and two socks of the same color will be considered matching.

5 pairs of black socks*2 because it’s a pair= 10 socks
4 pairs of grey socks*2=8
2 pairs of white socks*2=4
1 pair of brown socks*2=2
1 pair of blue socks*2=2
10 socks+8 socks+4 socks+2 socks+ 2 socks=26 socks in total
26/2=13+1 because you need to be sure you get one pair of socks. The smallest amount of socks you would have to grab to get at least one matching pair is 14 socks.

Suppose the coefficient matrix of a system of linear equations has a pivot position in every row. Explain why the system is cons
kap26 [50]

Answer:

If in each row of the supposed coefficient matrix, there is a pivot position. Therefore, it is true that the bottom row of the coefficient matrix also has a pivot position. As a result, there will not be space for the augmented column to have a. Thus, we say the system is consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem, we have a coefficient matrix comprising linear equations. If in each row of the supposed coefficient matrix, there is a pivot position. Therefore, it is true that the bottom row of the coefficient matrix also has a pivot position. As a result, there will not be space for the augmented column to have a. Thus, we say the system is consistent based on the theorem.

The area of the triangle shown is 40.0 cm2.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The height of the triangle is 6.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

- If the triangle has a side that measures 12.5cm, it means that two of its sides are equal in length.

Which is equivalent to the description of an isosceles triangle.

To find the height, use the equation of the area.

Area = (Base * height) / 2

- We know the value of the area and its shorter side that could be the base.

40cm = (12.5 cm * h) / 2

- Clearing the height would give that:

80cm / 12.5cm = h

h = 6.4cm

The height of the triangle is 12.5cm
