Easy
the easiest way is to imagine that you have a rectangle with a corner cut off
the area of the figure=area of rectangle-area cut off
area that was cut off was a triangle
area of rectangle=length times width
area of triangle=1/2base times height
so we draw imaginary lines like in attachment
find area of rectangle
legnth=9 inch
width=9 inch
area=9 times 9=81 in^2
triangle
the top part is ?+5=9, so the base of triangle=4
the side is ?+4=9, so the base is 5
area=1/2 times 4 times 5=10 in^2
area=rectangle-triangle
area=81-10=71 in^2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Fair coin:
Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so
5 tosses:
This means that
Probability distribution:
Probability of each outcome, so:
