Answer:

16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the tank already holds 5 gallons of water, you only need to find the number of minutes to fill 4 gallons of water.

Because it fills at a rate of 1/4 gallons a minute, it takes 4 minutes per gallon of water.

Since we are dealing with 4 gallons of water to be filled, we multiply 4 · 4 to get the number of minutes.

4 · 4 = 16

16 minutes

a right triangle has a height of 20 centimeters and a base of 10 centimeters.what is the area of the triangle?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

<u><em>The </em></u><u><em>area of the right triangle</em></u><u><em> is </em></u><u><em>100 centimeters squared.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The </em></u><u><em>formula for the area of a right triangle is:</em></u>

Area = \frac{a*b}{2}

<u><em>Area = (a*b) / 2</em></u>

<u><em>The height of a triangle is represented by a. The base is represented by b.</em></u>

<u><em>Knowing this, we can use what they give us for the values, by </em></u><u><em>plugging them into the formula</em></u><u><em>.</em></u>

<u><em>a is 20 cenimeters</em></u>

<u><em>b is 10 centimeters</em></u>

<u><em>Therefore :</em></u>

Area = \frac{200}{2}

Area = 100

<u><em>So, the </em></u><u><em>area of the right triangle</em></u><u><em> is</em></u><u><em> 100 centimeters squared.</em></u>

The figure below has a height of 18 inches and a volume of 864 cubic inches. What is the area of the base of the figure? A. 7776
Alik [6]
I think it might be B. 48 due to the fact 18 • 48 = 864. I think it would be easier to figure out if there was a picture to go with it. Don’t take my word for it though. Sorry.

(Essay Question 7 Points)
Irina18 [472]

Well I don't know.
Let's think about it:

-- There are 6 possibilities for each role.
    So 36 possibilities for 2 rolls.
    Doesn't take us anywhere.

New direction:
-- If the first roll is odd, then you need another odd on the second one.
-- If the first roll is even, then you need another even on the second one.
This may be the key, right here !

-- The die has 3 odds and 3 evens.

-- Probability of an odd followed by another odd = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
-- Probability of an even followed by another even = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4

I'm sure this is it.  I'm a little shaky on how to combine those 2 probs.

Ah hah ! 
Try this:

Probability of either 1 sequence or the other one is (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2 .

That means ... Regardless of what the first roll is, the probability of
the second roll matching it in oddness or evenness is 1/2 .

So the probability of 2 rolls that sum to an even number is 1/2 = 50% .

Is this reasonable, or sleazy ?
