The length of the diagonal is 17 in

Explanation:

The area of the square = 144 \ in^2

The formula for area of the square is given by

 A=a^{2}

144=a^{2}

 12=a

The sides of the square are 12 inches.

The length of the diagonal of a square can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem.

Let d be the diagonal of the square.

Thus, we have,

$12^{2}+12^{2}=d^{2}$

144+144=d^{2}$

      \sqrt{288} =d

      16.97=d

Rounding off to the nearest inch, we get,

d=17 \ in

Thus, the length of the diagonal is 17 in

yulyashka [42]

Let G be the granola we need (in pound)

Let N be the nut we need (in pound)

Trail mix cost $5.00 per pound---> cost for 7 pound = 5 x 7 = $ 35

4.5G+7N= 35

G+ N = 7

Therefore G = 5.6 N=1.4, we would need 5.6 pound granola & 1.4 pound nut

quester [9]

Answer:

2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer choices to this question do not make sense since probability is a measure that is always <= 1.0

Based on the number of times a particular colored tile is drawn we can assume that at the minimum there are 6 green, 20 red, 7 blue, 8 purple and 4 black tiles

Total number of tiles = 6 + 20 + 7 + 8 + 4 = 45

Probability of drawing a green tile = 6/45 = 2/15
