Answer: Our required probability is 0.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of window seats = 12

Number of aisle seats = 8

Total number of seats = 12+8 = 20

According to question, the next person to buy a ticket will be assigned to one of those seats.

Probability that the next person will be assigned to an aisle seat is given by

\dfrac{\text{Number of aisle seats}}{\text{Total number of seats}}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=0.4

Hence, our required probability is 0.4.

Find the surface area of a cylinder with a base radius of 2 yd and a height of 3 yd.
kherson [118]

Answer:

20 π

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cylinder is made up of 2 circles and its side.

To find the circles' areas, use the area formula for a circle: A = πr^2.

Since our radius is 2 yd, we can substitute r = 2 into this formula.

A = π2^2 = 4π

Now remember, this is only the area of once circle. Multiply 4π by 2 to get the area of both circles: 8π.

Now we need to find the surface area of the side.

If we flatten it out, we can see that the side is actually a curled up rectangle.

The length is the circumference of the circle and the width is the height of the cylinder.

To find the circumference, use the circumference formula for a circle: C = 2πr.

Substitute r = 2 into the formula.

C = 2π2 = 4π

Now that we know that the length is 4π, we can multiply the length by the width to find the area of the cylinder's side.

l = 4π

w = 3

A = lw = 4π * 3 = 12π

Finally, we can add the areas of the circles and the side to get the total surface area.

8π + 12π  = 20π

And that is your answer!

If u help me your dreams will come true ya know
wariber [46]

Answer:

Area of larger circle = \pi *r^2=3.14(11^2)=379.94

Area of smaller circle = \pi *r^2=3.14(3^2)=28.26

Probability that it lands in the shaded area (smaller circle):

28.26 ÷ 379.94 = 0.07438... = 0.07 (nearest hundredth)

In which quadrant is the value of the x-coordinate of a point on the unit circle always greater than the y-coordinate?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

IV

In the fourth quadrant (IV).

Step-by-step explanation:

In the IV quadrant the x coordinate is always positive and the y coordinate is always negative. So the x coordinate is always larger than the y coordinate.

Need help! much appreciated
Volgvan

Answer:

C-D = <u>6</u>

A-B = <u>3.25</u>

D = <u>118</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

C-D = 6 because the line is the same as B-C

A-B = 3.25 because the line is the same as A-D

D = 118 because the angle of B is vertically opposite to D
