A square dartboard contains a red square and a blue square that overlap. A dart hits a random point on the board.
FinnZ [79.3K]
They want to know the probability of landing in the blue and red section at the same time. In other words, they want to know the probability of landing in the purple section.

We'll need the area of the purple square. This square is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. This is because 4 - 2.5 = 1.5

So the purple square has an area of 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 square inches

Divide this over the total area of the largest square (which is 9x9) to get 2.25/81 = 0.02777... where the 7's go on forever

Round that to two decimal places. The final answer is 0.03

Side note: 2.25/81 is equivalent to the reduced fraction 1/36 (express 2.25/81 as 225/8100 and then divide both parts by the GCF 225)

How does the volume of a sphere compare to that of the volume of a cylinder? What would you say the scale factor for Vol sphere:
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The volume of a sphere is 2/3 times the volume of a similar cylinder

Scale factor : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a sphere of radius r. The volume of the sphere will be given as

V_{s}=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Similarly, let us consider a cylinder with its height being twice the radius of the sphere. We will have its volume given as:

V_{c}=\pi r^{2}h

but h = 2r

Hence we have

V_{c}= 2\pi r^{3}h

We can divide the two volumes to get a constant that links them together

\frac{V_{s}}{V_{c}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}{2\pi r^{3}h}

this will give us 2/3

Hence the scale factor for Vol sphere: Vol cylinder is 2/3

if there are 12 dogs that sell for $104 and 8 cats that sell for $25. At the end of the day there are 4 dogs left and 5 cats lef
Vinil7 [7]

Initially there were 12 dogs

dogs left at the end of day =4

number of dogs sold=12-4=8

price of one dog=$104

price of 8 dogs = 104*8= $832

initially there were 8 cats

cats left at the end of day =5

number of cats sold =8-5=3

price of one cat= $25

price of 3 cats =25*3= $75

ratio of sales for dogs to cats = 832/75

The perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the points (-3,8) and (-5,4) has an equation of the form y = mx + b. F
omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope

\frac{4-8}{-5-(-3)} =\frac{-4}{-2} \\\\slope=2\\y=mx+b\\y=2x+b\\

take a coordinate to fill in

(-5,4)\\y=-5\\x=4\\-5=2(4)+b\\-5=8+b-8   -8\\-13=b\\

this means that the equation is y=2x-13

and if you add m and b

you get :-11
