Answer:

The correct option is D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 8 volunteers including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event.

We need to determine the probability Andrew will be among the 4 volunteers selected and Karen will not.

We want to select Andrew and 3 others but not Karen in the group.

Thus, the number of ways to select 3 member out of 8-2=6

(We subtract 2 from 8 because Andrew is already selected and we don't want Karen to be selected, so subtract 2 from 8.)

The required probability is:

\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{\frac{6!}{3!3!}}{\frac{8!}{4!4!}}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\frac{20}{70}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{2}{7}

Hence, the correct option is D. 2/7

The two-dimensional net of a rectangular prism is shown at the left. What is the prism’s surface area? square units
Tasya [4]

Answer:

28 units²  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that your net has the dimensions shown below.

Its area is

2 yellow rectangles = 2(4 × 2) = 2 × 8 = 16 units²

2 grey rectangles    =  2(4 × 1) = 2 × 4  =  8 units²

2 green rectangles  = 2(2 × 1)  = 2 × 2  = <u> 4 units²</u>

                                                 TOTAL = 28 units²

The prism's surface area is 28 units².

Is there a dilation that maps shape I onto shape II? If so, what is the scale factor, and is it an enlargement or a reduction?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Enlargement.

Scale Factor: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use points to find the enlargement. Typically, you will use all the points.

A(1 , 1) ⇒ A'(3 , 3)

B(2 , 1) ⇒ B'(6 , 3)

C(1 , 2) ⇒ C'(3 , 6)

D(2 , 2) ⇒ D'(6 , 6)

To find the scale factor, simply divide the Point' with the original Point. Use any number.

A'(3 , 3)/(A(1 , 1)) = 3

B'(6 , 3)/(B(2 , 1)) = 3

C'(3 , 6)/(C(1 , 2)) = 3

D'(6 , 6)/(D(2 , 2)) = 3

Your scale factor is 3.
