We are to find the Probability the someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction.

Let P(F) represents the event that the book is fiction and P(P) represents the event that the book is paperback. We are to find P(F∩P)

P(F∩P) = P(F) x P(P)

From the tree diagram we can see that:

P(F) = 0.45
P(P) = 0.65

Using the values, we get:

P(F∩P) = 0.45 x 0.65 = 0.2925

So, the Probability the someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction is 0.2925.

So, option B gives the correct answer

a 9ft ladder is placed 4.5 feet from the base of a wall. How high up will the ladder reach? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{7.79 \ \text{feet}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have a 9 foot long ladder resting upon a wall, with an unknown height, but the ladder is 4.5 feet away from the wall.

This can be represented as a triangle, where x is the unknown side.

4.5

We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
