Answer:

The number of cuboids that will be needed to form a cube is 2625 cuboids

Step-by-step explanation:

To form a cube, we have;

The length = The height = The depth

The dimensions of the given cuboid = Length = 75 cm, the width = 35 cm, the depth = 21 cm.

Therefore;

The lowest common multiple of 75, 35, and 21, for the cuboid is given as follows;

75 = 5 × 5 × 3

35 = 5 × 7

21 = 3 × 7

Therefore, multiplying 75 by 7, we get;

75 × 7 = 525

Since 7, 5 and 3 are factors of 525, 35 and 21, can also be factors as we check;

525/35 = 15

525/21 = 25

Therefore, the cube will be;

The length of the cube will consist of 7 pieces of the cuboid, arranged with the side 75 cm facing the front

The depth of the cuboid will be 15 cuboids with the side 35 cm facing the sides

The height of the cuboid will be 25 cuboids with the side 21 cm high

The total number of cuboids is therefore;

7 × 15 × 25 = 2625 cuboids

The number of cuboids that will be needed to form a cube = 2625 cuboids.

What is the probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a

inna [77]

Answer:

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards = 0.846

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Let 'S' be the sample space associated with the drawing of a card

n (S) = 52C₁ = 52

Let E₁ be the event of the card drawn being a king

$n( E_{1} ) = 4 _{C_{1} } = 4$

Let E₂ be the event of the card drawn being a queen

$n( E_{2} ) = 4 _{C_{1} } = 4$

But E₁ and E₂ are mutually exclusive events

since E₁ U E₂ is the event of drawing a king or a queen

step(ii):-

The probability of drawing of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards

P( E₁ U E₂ ) = P(E₁) +P(E₂)

$= \frac{4}{52} + \frac{4}{52}$

P( E₁ U E₂ ) = $\frac{8}{52}$

step(iii):-

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = 1- P(E_{1} U E_{2} )$

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = 1- \frac{8}{52}$

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = \frac{52-8}{52} = \frac{44}{52} = 0.846$

Conclusion:-

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards = 0.846

liq [111]

Answer: x + 3feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Emmanuel sections a part of his house backyard in order to build the rectangular stone patio for his grill. We are told that the length of the base is going to be 3 feet more than the width and the width has been defined as x.

Since the length of the base will be 3 feet more than the width and the width is x. Therefore, the length will be:

Length = x + 3feet
