Answer:

86.7%.

Explanation:

Considering the diagram, the path of the tip of the blades is a circle.

Hence, determine the circumference of the circle.

C = 2πr = 2π * 3 ft = 6π ft.

Then determine how long the blade edges are all together.

6 in * 5 blades = 30 inches

Therefore, to determine the fraction of the circumference of 30 inches, convert circumference to inches

6π ft * (12 in ÷ 1 ft) = 72π in.

Hence, the probability of Gerald’s randomly timed shot hitting a blade of the windmill

=> 30 ÷ 72π

=> 30 ÷ [72 * (22/7)]

= 13.3%.

Finally, the probability of his shot getting past the blades is then 100 – 13.3 = 86.7%.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Siddhartha returned to an earlier stage of life when he decided not to go after his son, being alone again.

Explanation:

"Siddharta" is a book written by Hermann Hesse. This book is inspired by the teachings of Buddha Siddhartha Gautama and brings topics such as the human search for emotional control, the encounter of the spiritual dimension and stability of the human mind.

In the book Siddharta is a young man very wise and admired by people, but he feels unhappy because he cannot find spiritual fulfillment, he becomes a disciple of Buddha and learns that this fullness comes with the experiences and the way we deal with them. With that, he decides to follow his destiny and have his own experiences.

Over the years, and after a long time alone, Siddharta is presented with a son. However, father and son were never very close and his son decides to leave, which makes Siddharta very sad and spiritually agonized, but after reflecting he decides not to go after his son and regress to the previous stage of life.

What are the principal parts of a verb?
Delvig [45]
Principal Parts of a Verb

The principal parts of a verb are the four forms of the verb from which all forms of the verb can be made. In English the four principal parts are the present (or infinitive), the past tense, the past participle, and the present participle.

Principal Parts of the Verb To Walk:

(to) walk walked walked walking

(To walk is considered a regular verb because we add a -d or -ed to the verb for the past and past participle.)

Principal Parts of the Verb To Run:

(to) run ran run running

(This is considered an irregular verb since one or more of the principal parts is formed in a nonstandard way.)

Since the present participle is always formed by adding -ing to the infinitive, some lists of principal parts omit it.
