Part A. The formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is A=bh where A is the area, b is the base and h is height.
A=bh where b=8 feet ,h=3/4 foot and A=?
A=8*3/4
A=6 feet The area of the parallelogram is 6 feet square
Part B.You can decompose a parallelogram into two triangles by drawing a diagonal from one end to the another.The formula for finding the area of each triangle is A= 1/2bh where A is area b is base and h is height.Therefore:
A=1/2bh where b=8 h is 3/4 and A=?
A=1/2*8*3/4
A=3 feet square. Therefore the area of each triangle is 3 feet square.

Which of the following is the best estimate for 31% of 9? *GIVING 99 Points!*

Marina CMI [18]

Hello! So, when you know your fractions and percents, you know that about 33% equals 1/3. 31 is close to 33, so the best estimate for 31% of 9 is 3. When you solve it on a calculator, 9 * 31% (0.31) is 2.79, which rounds off to 3 when rounded to the nearest whole number. The answer is B: 3.

A coin is tossed three times. what is the probability of getting two heads and one tail?

Lera25 [3.4K]

If the order doesn't matter, then the probability is 37.5%
If it has to be head head tail, then the probability is 12.5%

If the order doesn't matter, the possible outcomes that have two heads and one tail are HHT, HTH, and THH. Since these all have a probability of 12.5% of occuring, the probability of any of them occuring is 37.5%

Plz help I had no idea these things even existed...

GrogVix [38]

X/12=(2 1/3)/5 note that 2 1/3=7/3

x/12=(7/3)/5

x/12=7/15 multiply both sides by 12

x=84/15

x=28/5

x=56/10

x=5.6

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 40 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap

ikadub [295]

The height is increasing at the rate of (6/5π) ft/min.

It is given that Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 40 ft3/min. Also, its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal.

For this, we need to find the volume of a cone. Volume is a scalar quantity expressing the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

The volume of a cone is - V=1/3hπr²
