Answer: 6/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A box contains balls numbered 3 through 15. This means that the sample space = {3 , 4 ,5 , 6 ,7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,}

The total number of sample space = 13

Therefore : the probability of picking 3, 5, 9, 11, 12, 15 , will be the total number of times they appear in the sample space divided by the number of sample space.

number of times 3 appears = 1

number of times 5 appear = 1

number of times 9 appear = 1

number of times 11 appear = 1

number of times 12 appear = 1

number of times 15 appear = 1

All together , they appeared 6 times

Therefore : the probability of picking one of the numbers = 6/13

What is the surface area of this figure?

disa [49]

Answer:

72 sq. mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Breaking this down, we have 2 right triangles with sides of 3, 4, and 5 miles, and 3 rectangles with dimensions 3 x 5, 4 x 5, and 5 x 5 miles. Remember that the area of a triangle is 1/2 x b x h , where b and h are the triangle's base and height. The base and height of the triangles at the bases of the figure are 3 and 4, so each triangle has an area of 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 1/2 x 12 = 6 sq. mi, or 6 + 6 = 12 sq. mi together.

Onto the rectangles, we can find their area by multiplying their length by their width. Since the width of these rectangles is the same for all three - 5 mi - we can make our lives a little easier and just "glue" the lengths together, giving us a longer rectangle with a length of 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 mi. Multiplying the two, we find the area of the rectangles to be 5 x 12 = 60 sq. mi.

Adding this area to the triangle's area gives us a total area of 12 + 60 = 72 sq. mi.
