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

What is 75:___= 25:8
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

75/3 is equal to 25... So, in theory, if you multiply 8 by 3, you should get 24. To check that: 75/24 = 25/8

In 2013 number of students in a small school is 284.it is estimated that student population will increase by 4 percent
BaLLatris [955]

The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.

Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get

{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P

n

=284⋅1.04

n

We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.

\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7

We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.

\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P

7

=284⋅1.04

7

≈374

The student population will be about 374 in 2020.

Read this sentence in the problem carefully.
"<span>The number of pages in each program is determined by the number of graduates."

That means that you can have any number of graduates, and you will figure out the number of pages in the program depending on the number of graduates.

g, the number of graduates, is the independent independent variable.
p, the number of pages, is the dependent variable.
