A postcard is in the shape of a parallelogram. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pair of parallel sides, opposite sides and opposite angles are equal.
Since, the postcard has an area of 12 square inches.
Since, area of parallelogram = 
As area of parallelogram is 12, it means that the product of base and height is 12 square inches.
So, the possible dimensions of postcard are 3 inches and 4 inches and 2 inches and 6 inches.
So, base = 3 inches , height = 4 inches or base = 4 inches , height = 3 inches.
So, base = 2 inches, height = 6 inches or base = 6 inches , height = 2 inches.
There are 12 wheels on 4 tricycles.
Probability =
(number of ways it can come out the way you want it to)
divided by
(total number of ways it can come out).
Total number of ways it can come out =
number of bottles in the cooler
= (10 + 15 + 13) = 38 .
Number of ways it can come out the way you want it to =
(soda + lemonade)
= (10 + 15) = 25 .
Probability of coming out the way you want it to =
25 / 38 = about 65.8 % .
In 8, 9, 10, all the triangles are similar, meaning corresponding sides have the same ratio.
8. hypotenuse / (short side) = 25/x = x/9
x² = 25*9 = 5²×3²
x = √(5²×3²) = 5*3 = 15
9. (long side) / (short side) = x/7 = 9/x
x² = 7*9
x = √(9*7) = 3√7
10. (short side) / (long side) = x/48 = 48/64
x = 48²/64 = 36
