Answer:

The perimeter (to the nearest integer) is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper half of this figure is a triangle with height 3 and base 6.  If we divide this vertically we get two congruent triangles of height 3 and base 3.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem we find the length of the diagonal of one of these small triangles:  (diagonal)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2, or (diagonal)^2 = 2*3^2.

Therefore the diagonal length is (diagonal) = 3√2, and thus the total length of the uppermost two sides of this figure is 6√2.

The lower half of the figure has the shape of a trapezoid.  Its base is 4.  Both to the left and to the right of the vertical centerline of this trapezoid is a triangle of base 1 and height 3; we need to find the length of the diagonal of one such triangle.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get

(diagonal)^2 = 1^2 + 3^2, or 1 + 9, or 10.  Thus, the length of each diagonal is √10, and so two diagonals comes to 2√10.

Then the perimeter consists of the sum 2√10 + 4 + 6√2.

which, when done on a calculator, comes to 9.48.  We must round this off to the nearest whole number, obtaining the final result 9.

Item 1 A bag contains 7 blue cards, 4 green cards, 6 red cards, and 8 yellow cards. You randomly choose a card. a. How many poss
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

4 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.  

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes  

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.  

so  

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space  

so

P=\frac{x}{y}  

In this problem

<em>The probability of choose a blue card is </em>

x=7

y=7+4+6+8=25

substitute

P=\frac{7}{25}

<em>The probability of choose a green card is </em>

x=4

y=7+4+6+8=25

substitute

P=\frac{4}{25}

<em>The probability of choose a red card is </em>

x=6

y=7+4+6+8=25

substitute

P=\frac{6}{25}

<em>The probability of choose a yellow card is </em>

x=8

y=7+4+6+8=25

substitute

P=\frac{8}{25}

The sum of the probabilities of the 4 possible outcomes  is equal to

\frac{7}{25}+\frac{4}{25}+\frac{6}{25}+\frac{8}{25}=\frac{25}{25} ----> represent the 100%
