Answer: 0.07 (choice B)
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's define two events: B = hitting bullseye, and, T = hitting the third (outermost) ring
To figure out the probabilities of each event happening, we need to find the areas of each region. The bullseye is a circle with radius 6 inches (half of diameter 12), so the area is roughly...
A = pi*r^2 = pi*6^2 = 36pi
The radius of the outermost circle is 6+5+5 = 16 inches, leading to an area of
A = pi*r^2 = pi*16^2 = 256pi
So P(B) = (36pi)/(256pi) = 9/64 is the probability of hitting bullseye
-----------------
The area of the third ring is equal to the difference of the overall largest circle and the second largest circle.
The second largest circle has a radius of 6+5 = 11 inches with area pi*11^2 = 121pi square inches
So the third ring has an area of 256pi - 121pi = 135pi square inches
P(T) = probability of hitting the third ring
P(T) = (135pi)/(256pi)
P(T) = 135/256
-----------------
The last thing to do is to multiply the two probabilities P(B) and P(T). This works because the two events B and T are independent
P(B and T) = P(B)*P(T)
P(B and T) = (9/64)*(135/256)
P(B and T) = 0.07415771484376
P(B and T) = 0.07
X is 9 over 2! If the question requires a decimal point, put 9/2 into the calculator!
To make a fraction like this into a mixed number all you have to do is multiply the whole number times the denominator which would be 64; then add the numerator to your number which makes it 73 then add the denominator to the bottom. Thus, 73/8.
Answer:
z= 104
y=76
x=76
Step-by-step explanation:
z+76= 180. solve for z
z=x
y=76
