I don't know, this is tricky
So a²+b²=c²
8²+15²=c²
64+225=c²
289=c²
±17=c
So c=17 or c=-17
Lots of red herrings in this question! The beacon is circular, so you need to find the area of a circle with a diameter of 36 inches.
Area of a circle = pi x radius^2
remember radius is half the diameter!
If r = -3 and s = 5:
(r^-4)(s^2) = (-3^-4)(5^2) = (1/81)(25) = 25/81
If r = 5 and s = -3:
(r^-4)(s^2) = (5^-4)(3^2) = (1/625)(9) = 9/625
Answer:
Therefore Mason would be expected to win 50 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) probability of flipping a head for a fair coin is 
ii) probability of flipping two fair coins is = 
iii) Therefore if Mason plays 200 times he would be expected to win
