A square poster has a side length of 26 in. Drawn on the poster are four identical triangles. Each triangle has a base of 8 in.

and a height of 8 in. Children play a game in which they each wear a blindfold and throw a dart at the poster. A player whose dart lands inside a triangle wins a prize. Assuming that a player's dart will always land on the poster, what is the probability of the dart landing in a triangle?

To find the probability of landing on a triangle, you will want find the combined areas of the triangles and the total area of the square target.

Divide the area of the combined areas and the total area to find the probability of landing on a triangle.

A = 1/2bh
      1/2 x 8 x 8
A = 32 square inches
32 x 4
128 square inches (areas of triangles)

A = bh
     26 x 26
A = 676 square inches

128/676 = 0.189

There is an approximate probability of 0.19 of hitting a triangle.

Answer:

The answer is 0.19 (just took the test)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: 1/2bh

so it will be 1/2 * 8 * 8 (8 is from the base and height of the triangle)

= 32

Then you do 32 * 4 which equals 128 (this is the area of the triangles)

Next

Formula: bh

26*26 (the side lengths of the square poster)

= 676

Lastly:

128/676 (divide)

=0.189 --> which rounds to 0.19

Factor the binomial expansion. 81x4 – 648x3 + 1,944x2 – 2,592x + 1,296
scoray [572]

Answer:

648(x^{3} + 3x^{2} - 4x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When factoring an expression like this, you need to divide all of the parts by a common number or variable. In this case, the only thing all of these numbers share is that they are divisible by 648. So, you would divide each number by 648 to simplify it, getting 1, 3, 4, and 2. Put these numbers in front of their respective variables, and put 648 outside of the parentheses to get the final answer.

Solid metal support poles in the form of right cylinders are made out of metal with a density of 7.3 g/cm^3 3 . This metal can b
sattari [20]

The cost of the metals from the calculations performed is $ 402421.

<h3>What is density?</h3>

Density can be explained as a quantity having  mass per unit volume and this can be calculated as:

Mass of the metal = ?

Density of the metal =  7.3 g/cm^3

height of the metal = 610 cm

radius of the metal = 8.7 cm

Volume of a cylinder  can be calculated by using the formular below:

(\pi r^2h ) And this can be used by inserting the given values which is

= 3.142 * (8.7)^2 * 610 cm = 145068.97cm^3

Then we can calculate the mass as :

Mass = (density * volume)

= (7.3 g/cm3 * 145068cm^3)\\\\=1059003kg

=Since the cost is $0.38 per kilogram, then 3657 Kg costs

;( 1059003kg * $0.38)

= $ 402421
