A dart is tossed and hits the dart board shown.

Answer:

4.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of the dart hitting the red circle, we need to find the total area of the board and the area of the red circle.

The area of the board is 16 in * 16 in = 256 in2

The area of the red circle is pi * 2^2 = 12.5664 in2

So the probability of the dart landing on the red circle is:

Probability = area_circle / area_board = 12.5664 / 256 = 0.0491 = 4.91%

Rounding to nearest tenth, we have 4.9%

I need assistance!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because midpoints were used to make similar triangles we can say

AC=2(DE)

5x+12=2(9x-20)

5x+12=18x-40

-13x+12=-40

-13x=-52

x=4

AC=5x+12

AC=5(4)+12

AC=20+12

AC=32

Find the equation of a parabola with a vertical axis and its vertex at the origin and passing through the point (-2, 3).

jonny [76]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Because we're given the vertex of the parabola, we can determine its equation in vertex form:

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$ where the vertex is $(h,k)$

Plug in the vertex (0,0)

$y=a(x-0)^2+0\\y=a(x)^2\\y=a(x-0)^2+0\\y=ax^2$

Now, we must solve for a. Plug in the given point (-2,3) and solve for a:

$3=a(-2)^2\\3=4a\\\frac{3}{4} =a$

Therefore, the value of a is $\frac{3}{4}$ . Plug this back into $y=ax^2$ :

$y=\frac{3}{4}x^2$

I hope this helps!
