Answer:

HC= $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let HC=x, it is given that AH=3HC, then AH=3x.

Since, from the given figure, ΔABC is similar to ΔBHC and ΔABC is similar to ΔABH.

Therefore, ΔABH is similar to ΔBHC, hence using the similarity conditions,

$\frac{HC}{BH}=\frac{BH}{AH}$

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{3}{3x}$

$3x^{2}=9$

$x^{2}=3$

$x=\sqrt{3}$

Hence, HC= $\sqrt{3}$ .

EVELYN HAD 9 DOLLS, BUT SHE LOST 1/3RD OF THEM AT DAYCARE. HOW MANY TOTAL DOLLS WOULD EVELYN HAVE HAD IF SHE HAD NOT LOST THEM?

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Total Dolls would Evelyn have had if she had not lost them = 9 Dolls

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Total dolls Evelyn had = 9

Total dolls lost = $\frac{1}{3}$ × 9 = 3

So, Now

Evelyn had total dools after lost = 9 - 3 = 6

If she had not lost te dolls , then she had 3 dolls more

∴ we get

If she had not lost any dolls , Evelyn had total dolls = 6 + 3 = 9

So, The answer would be :

Total Dolls would Evelyn have had if she had not lost them = 9 Dolls

A computer randomly selects a letter from the alphabet.

Nikolay [14]

1) 26 different outcomes are in the sample space.

2) 1 / 26 is the probability that the computer produces the first letter of your first name.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) You have to find out the different outcomes in the sample space :

A "Sample space" is defined as the set of all the possible outcomes of an event.
Here, the given event is randomly selecting a letter from the alphabets.

Therefore, the sample space must contain all the possible alphabets that can be chosen randomly.

The sample space is the set of all the 26 alphabets in English language.

⇒ Sample space = {A,B,C,D...........,Y,Z}

⇒ 26 different outcomes.

2) The probability the computer produces the first letter of your first name :

Here, the required outcome is getting the first letter of your first name.

Probability = No. of required outcomes / total no. of outcomes.

For example, The name Alex Davis has the first letter of the fist name as alphabet 'A'.

∴ Probability = 1 / 26

Similarly, for any first name there is going to be any one alphabet from the 26 alphabets, thus the probability to get the first letter will be always 1 / 26.
