I drew a picture!!
.
Maybe you didn't.
.
I like to picture things though.
.
Ok, a rectangle cut in half. 
.
Ok, by definition of "half," just multiply the number of rectangles by 2.
.
1 x 2 = 2 after cutting the brownies in half.
.
2 x 2 = 4 after cutting it in half again.
.
4 rectangles now!!
.
Doing it the other way... pretend you are starting over from scratch.
.
A new batch of brownies!
.
But still pay attention to what you already cut. 
.
Cut down the middle the other direction.
.
What's 4 x 2?
.
8.
.
Now, finally, we multiply the half of the half brownies.
.
What's 8 x 2?
.
16.
.
16 slices.

Suppose a bag of marbles has 4 green, 2 red, 5 yellow, 1 brown, and 7 blue marbles. What is the probability of picking a red mar
swat32

Assuming that each marble can be picked with equal probability, we notice that there is a total of

4+2+5+1+7 = 19

marbles, of which 2 are red.

So, the probability of picking a red marble is

\dfrac{2}{19}

In fact, as in any other case of (finite) equidistribution, we used the formula

P(\text{event}) = \dfrac{\text{number of favourable cases}}{\text{number of all possible cases}}

An exterior angle of a triangle equals _______ minus the adjacent interior angle.
insens350 [35]
As isosceles triangle has two congruent sides with a third side 
<span>that is the base. </span>

<span>A base angle of an isosceles triangle is one of the angles formed by </span>
<span>the base and another side. Base angles are equal because of the </span>
<span>definition of an isosceles triangle. </span>

<span>A picture would probably help here: </span>

<span>._______________. </span>
<span>B C </span>
<span>base </span>
<span>ABC is the isosceles triangle. AB is congruent to AC. Angle ABC </span>
<span>is congruent to angle ACB. These are the base angles. </span>
<span>Triangle is a convex polygon with three segments joining three non-collinear points. Each of the three segments is called a side, and each of the three non-collinear points is called a vertex. </span>
<span>Triangles can be categorized by the number of congruent sides they have. For instance, a triangle with no congruent sides is a scalene triangle; a triangle with two congruent sides is an isosceles triangle; a triangle with three congruent sides is an equilateral triangle. </span>
<span>Triangles can also be categorized by their angles. For instance, a triangle with three acute interior angles is an acute triangle; a triangle with one obtuse interior angle is an obtuse triangle; a triangle with one right interior angle is a right triangle; a triangle with three congruent interior angles is an equiangular triangle. </span>
<span>One property of a triangle is that the sum of the measures of the three interior angles is always 180 degrees (or pi radians). In addition, the exterior angle of a triangle is the supplement of the adjacent interior angle. The measure of the exterior angle is also the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.</span>

What does 49.39 round to.
Verizon [17]
If you want to round 49.39 to the nearest tenths place you will have to look at your tenths digit. The digit is 3, right? Look at the next number after 3. It is the number 9 for the hundredths place. If the number is bigger than 5 you round it. If it is smaller, you keep it the same. 9 is bigger than 5 so you make the 3 into a 4. Then, you're answer is 49.4 or 49.40 (Which are basically the same answer) It also works the same with the other digits. Simple, right? :)

Please someone help me with this word problem for my math class T.T
olga55 [171]

Answer:

<u>Perimeter</u>:

= 58 m (approximate)

= 58.2066 or 58.21 m (exact)

<u>Area:</u>

= 208 m² (approximate)

= 210.0006 or 210 m² (exact)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following dimensions of a rectangle:

length (L) = \sqrt{252} meters

width (W) = \sqrt{175} meters

The formula for solving the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P  = 2(L + W) or 2L + 2W

The formula for solving the area of a rectangle is:

A = L × W

<h2>Approximate Forms:</h2>

In order to determine the approximate perimeter, we must determine the perfect square that is close to the given dimensions.  

13² = 169

14² = 196

15² = 225

16² = 256

Among the perfect squares provided, 16² = 256 is close to 252 (inside the given radical for the length), and 13² = 169 (inside the given radical for the width).  We can use these values to approximate the perimeter and the area of the rectangle.

P  = 2(L + W)

P = 2(13 + 16)

P = 58 m (approximate)

A = L × W

A = 13 × 16

A = 208 m² (approximate)

<h2>Exact Forms:</h2>

L = \sqrt{252} meters = 15.8745 meters

W = \sqrt{175} meters = 13.2288 meters

P  = 2(L + W)

P = 2(15.8745 + 13.2288)

P = 2(29.1033)

P = 58.2066 or 58.21 m

A = L × W

A = 15.8745 × 13.2288

A = 210.0006 or 210 m²

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points S = (-8, 3) and T = (2, -1).
Alex

Step-by-step explanation:

use the midpoint formula

( \frac{xs + xt}{2} \:  \:  \frac{ys + yt}{2} )

substitute into the midpoint formula

( \frac{ - 8 + 2}{2}  \:  \:   \frac{3 + ( - 1)}{2} )

solve the above

(

(3 \:  \: 1)

so the x coordinate if your midpoint is 3

the y coordinate of your midpoint is 1

(3;1)
