3 feet tall
If it is in the shape of a tent and the floor is 8 feet across half of it cut down the middle would be 4 ft, you create a right triangle and can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height. 5 is the hypotenuse and 4 is a leg.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Plug in  the values known
4^2 +b^2 = 5^2
simplify
16+b^2=25
subtract 16 from both sides
b^2=9
take the square root of both sides
b=3 the hight is 3 ft

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

part a

The probability of getting a 2 is 1/6 and the probability of getting a head is 1/2. The probability of getting both is thus 1/6 x 1/2= 1/12

part b

The probability of getting an even number is 3/6 = 1/2. The probability of getting a tail is 1/2. The probability of getting both is thus 1/2 x 1/2= 1/4.

A sailboat travels 3 miles in 1.5 hours. How far does it travel in 2 hours?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
A sailboat travels 3 miles in 1.5 hours. How far does it travel in 2 hours.
= 3 miles / 1.5 hours
= 2 miles per hour
= (2 miles) * (2 hours)
= 4 miles in 2 hours.

So, in conclusion, if a sailboat travels 3 miles in 1.5 hours, it travels 4 miles in 2 hours.
