The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches. Suppose a square is constructed with each side being 2 inches shorter tha

n each side of the triangle, and then 3 inches are added to each side of the triangle. How many inches would the total combined perimeters of the triangle and square be?

Combined perimeters of the triangle and square will be 148 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle has all its sides have equal length. The perimeter is 3l where l is length of one side.Given the perimeter of the equilateral triangle as 63 inches then,finding the length of each side will be:

3l=63

l=63/3=21 inches.

Square has its lengths 2 inches shorter than each side of triangle,this will be;

21-2=19 inches

Perimeter of the square will be 4l = 4*19=76 inches

In the new triangle 3 inches are added to each side,thus the new side will be;

21+3=24 inches.

New perimeter of triangle will be: 3l = 3*24=72 inches

The new combined perimeter will be 76+72=148 inches.

You have a large jar that initially contains 30 red marbles and 20 blue marbles. We also have a large supply of extra marbles of

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

There is a 57.68% probability that this last marble is red.

There is a 20.78% probability that we actually drew the same marble all four times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, there are 50 marbles, of which:

30 are red

20 are blue

Any time a red marble is drawn:

The marble is placed back, and another three red marbles are added

Any time a blue marble is drawn

The marble is placed back, and another five blue marbles are added.

The first three marbles can have the following combinations:

R - R - R

R - R - B

R - B - R

R - B - B

B - R - R

B - R - B

B - B - R

B - B - B

Now, for each case, we have to find the probability that the last marble is red. So

$P = P_{1} + P_{2} + P_{3} + P_{4} + P_{5} + P_{6} + P_{7} + P_{8}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that we go R - R - R - R

There are 50 marbles, of which 30 are red. So, the probability of the first marble sorted being red is $\frac{30}{50} = \frac{3}{5}$ .

Now the red marble is returned to the bag, and another 3 red marbles are added.

Now there are 53 marbles, of which 33 are red. So, when the first marble sorted is red, the probability that the second is also red is $\frac{33}{53}$

Again, the red marble is returned to the bag, and another 3 red marbles are added

Now there are 56 marbles, of which 36 are red. So, in this sequence, the probability of the third marble sorted being red is $\frac{36}{56}$

Again, the red marble sorted is returned, and another 3 are added.

Now there are 59 marbles, of which 39 are red. So, in this sequence, the probability of the fourth marble sorted being red is $\frac{39}{59}$ . So

$P_{1} = \frac{3}{5}*\frac{33}{53}*\frac{36}{56}*\frac{39}{59} = \frac{138996}{875560} = 0.1588$

$P_{2}$ is the probability that we go R - R - B - R

$P_{2} = \frac{3}{5}*\frac{33}{53}*\frac{20}{56}*\frac{36}{61} = \frac{71280}{905240} = 0.0788$

$P_{3}$ is the probability that we go R - B - R - R

$P_{3} = \frac{3}{5}*\frac{20}{53}*\frac{33}{58}*\frac{36}{61} = \frac{71280}{937570} = 0.076$

$P_{4}$ is the probability that we go R - B - B - R

$P_{4} = \frac{3}{5}*\frac{20}{53}*\frac{25}{58}*\frac{33}{63} = \frac{49500}{968310} = 0.0511$

$P_{5}$ is the probability that we go B - R - R - R

$P_{5} = \frac{2}{5}*\frac{30}{55}*\frac{33}{58}*\frac{36}{61} = \frac{71280}{972950} = 0.0733$

$P_{6}$ is the probability that we go B - R - B - R

$P_{6} = \frac{2}{5}*\frac{30}{55}*\frac{25}{58}*\frac{33}{63} = \frac{49500}{1004850} = 0.0493$

$P_{7}$ is the probability that we go B - B - R - R

$P_{7} = \frac{2}{5}*\frac{25}{55}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{33}{63} = \frac{825}{17325} = 0.0476$

$P_{8}$ is the probability that we go B - B - B - R

$P_{8} = \frac{2}{5}*\frac{25}{55}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{30}{65} = \frac{750}{17875} = 0.0419$

So, the probability that this last marble is red is:

$P = P_{1} + P_{2} + P_{3} + P_{4} + P_{5} + P_{6} + P_{7} + P_{8} = 0.1588 + 0.0788 + 0.076 + 0.0511 + 0.0733 + 0.0493 + 0.0476 + 0.0419 = 0.5768$

There is a 57.68% probability that this last marble is red.

What's the probability that we actually drew the same marble all four times?

$P = P_{1} + P_{2}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that we go R-R-R-R. It is the same $P_{1}$ from the previous item(the last marble being red). So $P_{1} = 0.1588$

$P_{2}$ is the probability that we go B-B-B-B. It is almost the same as $P_{8}$ in the previous exercise. The lone difference is that for the last marble we want it to be blue. There are 65 marbles, 35 of which are blue.

$P_{2} = \frac{2}{5}*\frac{25}{55}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{35}{65} = \frac{875}{17875} = 0.0490$

$P = P_{1} + P_{2} = 0.1588 + 0.0490 = 0.2078$

There is a 20.78% probability that we actually drew the same marble all four times

Becca has a balance of $22.90 at the beginning of May for clothes. Her allotment for the month is $50.00. She buys a two new out

a_sh-v [17]

Add the balance and allotment:

22.90 + 50.00 = 72.90

This is how much she can actually spend.

She spent 85.50.

Subtract the two:

85.50 - 72.90 = 12.60

Since she spent more than she actually could be balance would be a negative number.

The balance would be - $12.60
