Answer:

as a fraction = 75/92

as a percentage = 81.52%

Step-by-step explanation:

total no of students = 92

probability that a student has hazel or brown eyes = Pr(hazel or brown)

but probability of a or b happening ie Pr(a or b) simply is Pr (a) +Pr (b)

therefore Pr(hazel or brown) = Pr(hazel)+ Pr(brown)

Pr(brown) = (no of brown eyes )/(total set of eyes)

                = 40/92 = 10/23

Pr( hazel) = (no of hazel eyes )/(total set of eyes)

                  = 35/92 =35/92

hence Pr(hazel or brown) = (10/23) + (35/92) =75/92

so there's 75/92 probability (or 0.8 out of 1 chance )to choose either hazel or brown randomly

Find the area of the regular polygon.<br>Round to the nearest tenth.<br>16 ft​
Sladkaya [172]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the side of the regular polygon is 16 feet.

We need to determine the area of the polygon.

<u>Area of the polygon:</u>

The area of the polygon can be determined using the formula,

Area =\frac{s^2 n}{4 \ tan \frac{180}{n}}

where n is the number of sides,

s is the side length.

Substituting n = 3 and s = 16, we get;

Area =\frac{16^2 (3)}{4 \ tan \frac{180}{3}}

Simplifying, we get;

Area =\frac{(256) (3)}{4 \ tan \ 60}

Area = \frac{768}{6.928}

Dividing, we get;

Area = 110.85

Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we have;

Area = 110.9

Thus, the area of the regular polygon is 110.9 square units.
