Answer:

90 sq inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area is the side area of the pyramid. In this case, there are 3 sides because the base is a triangle. Since the base is an equilateral triangle, all sides are of equal dimensions. So, the sides of the pyramid are also all of the same size, area.

We then just have to figure out the area of one of the side triangles, then multiply it by 3 to get the total lateral area of that pyramid.

We know how to calculate the area of a triangle: A = (b * h)/2

In this case, b = 5 in, h = 12 in. So,

TA = (5 * 12)/2 = 60 / 2 = 30

Each side triangle has an area of 30 sq inches.

LA = 3 * TA (since there are 3 sides)

LA = 3 * 30 = 90 sq inches

An electronic product contains 48 integrated circuits. The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01, and the

Answer:

0.6173 = 61.73% probability that the product operates.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each integrated circuit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. The integrated circuits are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
