The area of the square is W^2

The area of the circle will be PI * radius^2
where the radius = (W/2)
So, the circle area = PI * (W/2)^2 = PI * (W^2 /4)

If square has a 12 inch side its area is 144 square inches.
The circle would be PI * (144 / 4) = PI * 36 =
<span> <span> <span> 113.0973355292 </span> </span> </span> square inches

So, A = (W^2) - (PI * (W^2 / 4)

Suppose a bag contains 4 white chips and 6 black chips. What is the probability of randomly choosing a white chip, not replacing
Marysya12 [62]
There are 10 chips altogether. 4 of them are white.
4/10 is the chance of lifting out a white chip
There are 3 of them left and 9 chips altogehter.
4/10 * 3/9
12/90
4/30
2/15

Comment
(my edit) it is not that 2/15 is wrong (although it is not entirely right).
1/3 is the correct answer if you assume that what happened during the first draw has nothing to do with what will happen on the second. It is like saying if you throw 11 heads in a row with a fair coin, what are the chances of throwing a heads on the 12th throw? The answer is 1/2. That is the same kind of question you have asked.

The two of us who have responded have really responded to what are the chances of drawing 2 white chips. The question really does not restrict us in a way that prevents us from saying that. I'll stick with
B <<<< answer
but I think it would be nice if the writer of the question made it clear that 1/3 should be the proper answer. I am glad you came back and posted the right answer. It makes me think. 

The semi right answer is B <<<<---- 

If my reasoning bothers anybody, I'll reedit again. I'm only leaving it because sometimes a mistake is more instructive than a given answer.

BRAINLIEST AND FIVE STARS TO CORRECT ANSWER
Llana [10]
The answer is the first option, <-20, -42>.

We can find this by first finding what -2u would equal by multiplying <5, 6> by -2. This gives us <-10, -12>.

Then we need to find out what 5v is equal to, by multiplying <-2, -6> by 5 to get <-10, -30>.

Now that we know what -2u and 5v are, we can substitute them into the equation and get
<-10, -12> + <-10, -30>, which we can split up into -10 - 10 = -20, and -12 - 30 = -42, so your final answer is <-20, -42>.

I hope this helps!
