Answer:

0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

In Probability "OR" means "ADDITION" and "AND" means "MULTIPLICATION"

Here, we want probability of Jack "OR" Red, so we find individual probabilities and then "ADD" them.

There are 26 cards that are RED, half of the deck. So probability of RED CARD is:

P(red) = 26/52 = 1/2

Now, there are 4 Jacks in the whole deck, 2 red Jack and 2 black Jack. We already accounted for the 2 red jacks, so we have 2 black Jacks at hand. So

P(Jack) = 2/52 = 1/26

Now, we add the 2 probabilities:

P(jack or red) = 1/2 + 1/26 = 13/26 + 1/26 = 14/26 = 0.54 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Given: ABCD is a trapezoid, AC ⊥ CD AB = CD, AC=the square root of 75 , AB = 5 Find: AABCD
Ugo [173]

In this attached picture according to the conditions of the problem we have an isosceles trapezoid and since we know that legs are equal (AD=BC=5 cm), we have to calculate bases and height in order to find the area. Working with the triangle BCD, we apply Pythagoras theorem and find that CD = \sqrt{75+25} = 10 cm. Since BDC is a right triangle, applying theorem for the area of triangles, we find that \frac{1}{2} * BF =  \frac{1}{2} * 5 * \sqrt{75} and BF= 0.5\sqrt{75}. Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, triangles ADE and BFC are congruent with Angle Side Angle theorem. Then, DE=FC and with the help of Pythagoras theorem, DE=FC=2.5 cm. Then, AB=EF=5 cm and the area of the trapezoid is  A= BF *  \frac{AB+CD}{2} = 0.5  \sqrt{75}  * \frac{5+10}{2} = 18.75 \sqrt{3}   cm^{2}
