The area of a parallelogram is 60 feet the height 5 feet how long is the base

1 answer:

5 0

Hello!

We have to use a certain formula to find the area of a parallelogram. The formula is:

A = bh

Since we already have the area and the base of the parallelogram, we will be able to find the height!

Notice how we multiply the base by the height to find the area? Well, we'll have to do the opposite to find one of its dimensions.

What's the opposite of multiplication? Division!

Formula for base:

B = A ÷ h

Substitute:

B = 60 ÷ 5

B = 12

ANSWER:

The base is 12 feet long.

Good Day!

Answer:

The probability that a student will go to graduate school and take loans to pay for their undergraduate education is P=0.111.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The probability that a student will take loans to pay for their undergraduate education is 0.85

$P(L)=0.85$ .

The probability that a student goes to graduate school, <em>given that the student took loans to pay for their undergraduate education,</em> is 0.13.

$P(G|L)=0.13$

What is the probability that a student will go to graduate school and take loans to pay for their undergraduate education?

Out of the population of students, a proportion of 0.85 takes loans for undergraduate studies. Out of this, a proportion of 0.13 goes to graduate school.

This probability can then be calculated as:

$P(G\&L)=P(L)\cdot P(G|L)=0.85\cdot0.13=0.1105$
