Answer: 16 small squares

why?
since this is a square mosaic, all four sides have equal numbers of glass squares
if you think about one glass square as one unit, the scenario can be considered through the equation 256=x^{2} -- where x is the number of glass squares per side ( remember, area of square = x^{2} )
so, to solve the equation, you find the square root of 256, which is 16!

~hope it makes sense~

To do this, you got to square 256.

The square root of 256 is 16.

Therefore, there are 16 small squares on each edge of the mosaic.

25 squares. Square root is 5. 5 along each edge. My work shares same concept.

There are 256 squares, and you can count 16 on each edge. this shows 16 times 16, or 16 squared, which is 256.

A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of rolling an even number the first time and a number greater than 3 the seco
IceJOKER [234]

Events

• A: an even number is rolled in the first time

,

• B: a number greater than 3 is rolled the second time

The probability of rolling an even number is:

\begin{gathered} P(A)=\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total possible outcomes}} \\ P(A)=\frac{3}{6} \\ P(A)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

The probability of rolling a number greater than 3 is:

\begin{gathered} P(B)=\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total possible outcomes}} \\ P(B)=\frac{3}{6} \\ P(B)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Events A and B are independent, then the probability of one happening after the other is:

\begin{gathered} \text{ P(A and B) = }P(A)\cdot P(B) \\ \text{ Substituting with the values previously found:} \\ \text{ P(A and B) = }\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{ P(A and B) = }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}

Find the sum: 2 + 9 + 16 + ... + 37
iris [78.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of arithmetic terms = n/2 × [2a + (n - 1)×d], where 'a' is the first term, 'd' is the common difference between two numbers, and 'n' is the number of terms.

this is the same as n/2 × (a1 + an), because

an = a1 + (n-1)×d

so, for the series above :

a or a1 = 2

d = 7, as every new term is the previous term plus 7.

for n

37 = a1 + (n-1)×d = 2 + (n-1)×7

and now solve for n

35 = 7n - 7

42 = 7n

n = 6

so, the sum of all terms is

6/2 × (2+37) = 3×39 = 117

(x+ 3/8 ​ ) 2 + y 2 =1<br> what is the radius &amp; units?
Pani-rosa [81]

The radius of the circle of the circle equation (x + 3/8)^2 + y^2 = 1 is 1 unit

<h3>How to determine the radius of the circle?</h3>

The circle equation of the graph is given as:

(x + 3/8)^2 + y^2 = 1

The general equation of a circle is represented using the following formula

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2

Where the center of the circle is represented by the vertex (a, b) and the radius of the circle is represented by r

By comparing the equations (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 and (x + 3/8)^2 + y^2 = 1, we have the following comparison

(x - a)^2 = (x + 3/8)^2

(y - b)^2 = y^2

1 = r^2

Rewrite the last equation as follows:

r^2= 1

Take the square root of both sides of the equation

√r^2 = √1

Evaluate the square root of 1

√r^2 = 1

Evaluate the square root of r^2

r = 1

Hence, the radius of the circle of the circle equation (x + 3/8)^2 + y^2 = 1 is 1 unit
