<h3>Answer:  3/8</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's say this is a 1 by 1 square. The area is 1*1 = 1 square unit. Whatever the area of the triangle is, we divide it over 1 and it will yield the same value as the area of the triangle. In other words, the area of the triangle will be the answer.

Along the top we have 3 ticks to indicate the top segment has been cut into 3+1 = 4 equal parts. The horizontal distance from the the vertical side of the triangle to the peak of the triangle is 3/4 units. This is because we travel 3 ticks out of 4 total. So this is the height when we consider the vertical segment of the triangle to be the base.

The base is 1 unit as it spans the original square's side length

base = 1

height = 3/4

area of triangle = (1/2)*(base*height)

area of triangle = (1/2)*(1*3/4)

area of triangle = 3/8

ratio of triangle area to square area = (triangle area)/(square area)

ratio of triangle area to square area = (3/8)/1

<h3>ratio of triangle area to square area = 3/8</h3>

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

let side of square=x

Area of a square =x^2

height of a triangle= 3x/4  ( 4/4=1/4) since height is only 3x/4 from the square)

( base =x same side as a square)

Area of a triangle=1/2 bh=1/2(x*3x/4)= 3x^2/8

the ratio of shaded triangle to the area= (3x^2/8)/x^2=3x^2/8x^2=3/8

1. Shay found that she hit the bull's-eye when throwing darts 2/10 times. If she
viva [34]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>If she  continues to throw darts 75 more times, she could predict to hit the </h2><h2>bull's-eye 15 times.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Shay found that she hit the bull's-eye when throwing darts \frac{2}{10} times = \frac{1}{5}.

In five times, she will hit the dart once.

If she  continues to throw darts 75 more times,

the probability that she will hit the bull's eye =  \frac{1}{5} (75) = 15 times.

If she  continues to throw darts 75 more times, she could predict to hit the

bull's-eye 15 times.

Compare and contrast perpendicular bisected and altitude
elena55 [62]
A perpendicular bisector forms two right angles and splits the line in two equal parts.

The altitude does create two right angles, but doesn't have to create two equal parts.

If the outliers are not included, what is the mean of the data set? 76, 79, 80, 82, 50, 78, 83, 79, 81, 82 (2 points) Select one
wlad13 [49]
Hello!

As you can see, 50 is the outlier, as it is not around the other numbers in the data set. Therefore, we will calculate the mean of all the numbers if we add up all the numbers and divide by 9.

(76+79+80+82+78+83+79+81+82)÷9=80

The mean of this data set (excluding the outlier) is 80.

I hope this helps!
