Answer:
There are 3 prime numbers shown on the die: 2, 3 and 5. The probability of showing a prime number on a single die is 1/2, hence the probability of not showing a prime number is also 1/2. Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled = 6*6 = 36. Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled = 6*6 = 36.
Ummm this confuses me a bit

We don’t know the value of the shorter side, so we will categorize it as x. Side 2 is just 4 feet longer than x, so we would add 4 on to it. Side 3 has double the x, so we would multiply it be 2 for 2x, and subtract the 4 feet from it.
Side 1: x
Side 2: x + 4
Side 3: 2x - 4
If the perimeter is 64 feet, then all of the sides have to add up to it. Therefore, first we add all of the side lengths up:
x + x + 4 + 2x - 4 = 4x.
Now we put 4x, the amount of all these sides added up, equal to the perimeter of 64.
4x = 64. Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself.
x = 16.
Now that we know x is 16, we will substitute it in for all the side lengths’ equations.
We know that Side 1 was just x, so that will be 16. Since Side 2 was 4 more than x, we’d do 16 + 4 = 20. We substitute 16 in for x in Side 3’s equation: 2(16) - 4 = 32 - 4 = 28.
Therefore, the final lengths of all the sides are:
Side 1: 16
Side 2: 20
Side 3: 28
The side of the barn is made of 2 shapes, a triangle and a rectangle. Find the area of each shape, then add together to find the total area.
To find the area of the triangle, we multiply 1/2 x (triangle base x triangle height), we can find the triangle height by subtracting the height on the right by the height on the left, so 26.5-14.5 = 12.5ft.
The area of the triangle is 1/2 x (22.8x12.5) = 142.5 square ft.
The area of the rectangle is calculated by multiplying one side by the other, which is 22.8x14.5 = 330.6 square feet.
The total area of the side of the barn is 330.6 + 142.5 = 473.1 square feet.
Since we now know the area of the side of the barn, we can find the cost of paint needed. A one gallon paint can covers 350 square feet and costs $20, but we need to paint 473.1 square feet so we'll need to buy a second can. This means we can easily paint the side of the barn with 2 cans, costing $40 in paint.
