Total = 300 * 1.8020924036 -1 /.055 -300
Total = 300 * .8020924036 / .055 - 300
Total = 300 * 14.5834982473 -300
Total = 4375.0494741818 -300

when given SAS, the area (A) of the triangle = (side1 · sin θ · side2)/2

A = (36 · sin 45° · 36)/2

= (36² · √2)/4

= 9 · 36 · √2

= 324√2

There are only green pens and red pens in a box. there are 3 more red pens than green pens in the box. sheila is going to take a

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: 6 or 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Let the number of green pens = x

Number of red pens = x + 3

Probability of picking same color = 17/35

Taking two pens at random; probability of picking two pens of same color.

Probability of picking red on first pick then red on second pick ; or picking blue on first pick then blue on second pick

Probability = (Required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

Total number of pens = x + x + 3 = 2x + 3

Probability of picking red then red:

P(red first) = (x+3)/2x+3

P(red second) = x+3-1 / 2x+3-1 = (x+2)/2x+2)

Therefore, probability of red then red =

(x+3)/(2x+3) × (x+2)/2x+2)

= (x+3)(x+2) / (2x+3)(2x+2)

Probability of green then green:

P(first green) = x/(2x+3)

P(second green) = (x-1) / (2x+3-1) = (x-1) / (2x+2)

P(green then green) = x(x-1)/(2x+3)(2x+2)

Therefore,

[(x+3)(x+2) / (2x+3)(2x+2)] + [x(x-1)/(2x+3)(2x+2)] = 17/35

(x+3)(x+2)+x(x-1) / (2x+3)(2x+2) = 17/35

Cross multiply :

35(x+3)(x+2)+x(x-1) = 17(2x+3)(2x+2)

35(2x^2 + 4x + 6) = 17(4x^2 + 10x + 6)

70x^2 + 140x + 210 = 68x^2 + 170x + 102

70x^2 - 68x^2 + 140x - 170x + 210 - 102 = 0

2x^2 - 30x + 108 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation which can be factoeized used using any known factorization method.

Factorizing this, we get

(x-6) = 0 or (x-9) = 0

x = 6 or x = 9
