Brian usually brushes his teeth in the morning, but 10% of the time he forgets. What is the probability that he will forget to b

rush his teeth three days in a row (Assume that forgetting one day does not influence any other day.)

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.001 = 0.1% probability that he will forget to brush his teeth three days in a row.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, for each day, there is a 0.1 probability that he forgers to brush his teeth, and days are independent, hence for 3 consecutive days the probability is given by:

p = (0.1)³ = 0.001.

Jorge bought a crate of floor tiles for $95.94.The Crate had six boxes of floor tiles.Each Box contained 20 floor tiles.Write an

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:Cost per box: $95.94 ÷ (b)

Cost per tile: [$95.94 ÷ (b)]÷ (t)

First, we are trying to find the cost of each crate. Since the whole order was $95.94, we have to divide. The answer to the cost per box is $15.99.

Second, we are trying to find the cost of each of the tiles in the crates. Since they are in each crate, we divide the crate price from the tiles. The answer of the cost per tile is $.80.

Hope this helped you out!

Pleeeeeeeeaaaseeeeee help meeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

Option D.

$A =96\pi\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the circular bases is:

$A_c = 2\pi(a) ^ 2$

Where

$a=4\ cm$ is the radius of the circle

Then

$A = 2\pi(4) ^ 2$

$A = 32\pi\ cm^2$

The area of the rectangle is:

$A_r=b * 2\pi r$

Where

$b=8\ cm$

b is the width of the rectangle and $2\pi r$ is the length

Then the area of the rectangle is:

$A_r=8 * 2\pi (4)$

$A_r=64\pi\ cm^2$

Finally the total area is:

$A = A_c + A_r\\\\A = 32\pi\ cm^2 + 64\pi\ cm^2\\\\$

$A =96\pi\ cm^2$

The perimeter of a rectangle is 30.8 km and it’s diagonal length is 11 km. Find it’s length and width

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Length of the rectangle is 15.0325 km and width is 0.3765 km.

Explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30.8 km

Length of diagonal of rectangle = 11 km

To find:

The length and width of rectangle=?

Solution:

Lets assume length of the rectangle = x km

And assume width of the rectangle = y km

Lets first create equation using given perimeter

perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length + width )

=> 30.8 km = 2 ( x + y )

=> $x + y = \frac{30.8}{2}$

=> y = 15.4 – x ------(1)

As diagonal and two sides of rectangle forms right angle triangle whose hypoteneus is diagonal ,

=> $length^2 + width^2 = diagonal^2$

=> $x^2 + y^2 = 11^2$

=> $x^2 + y^2 = 121$

On substituting value of y from (1) in above equation we get

=> $x^2 + (15.4-x)^2 = 121$

=> $x^2 + (15.4)^2 + x^2 – 2 x 15.4 \times x = 121$

=> $2x^2-30.8x + 237.16 -121 = 0$

=> $2x^2-30.8x + 116.16 = 0$

Solving above quadratic equation using quadratic formula

General form of quadratic equation is

$ax^2 +bx +c = 0$

And quadratic formula for getting roots of quadratic equation is

$x= \frac{ -b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac)}}{2a}$

As equation is $2x^2-30.8x + 116.16 = 0$ , in our case

a = 2 , b = -30.8 and c = 116.16

Calculating roots of the equation we get

$x=\frac{ -(-30.8)\pm\sqrt{(-30.8)^2-4(2)( 11)} } {(2\times2)}$

$x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{(948.64-88)}}{4}$

$x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{860.64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{30.8\pm\sqrt{860.64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{(30.8\pm29.33)}4$

$x=\frac{(30.8+29.33)}{4}$

$x=\frac{(30.8-29.33)}{4}$

=> x = 15.0325 or x = 0.3675

As generally length is longer one ,

So x = 1.0325

From equation (1) y = 15.4 – x = 0.3765

Hence length of the rectangle is 15.0325 km and width is 0.3765 km.
