Answer:

17.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of the outer square(the whole garden) is 20 feet and the area of a square is length squared.

20² = 400

For the first question, the area of the inner square will be

X = Length × Width

The area of the entire garden which is also the area of the outer square is

Length × width

= 20 × 20

= 400 feet

For the third question,we were asked to find 75% of the area of the entire garden which is

75/100 × 400

=300 feet

For the fourth question, we are now asked to write an equation of the area of the inner square using steps 1 and 3

x² = 0.75(20²)

x² = 300

For the fifth question

x² = 0.75(20)²

x² = 300

x = √300

x = (+ or-)17.32 feet

And for the last queston

x = +17.32 feet since the length shouldn't be a negative

Answer:

x = 17 ft ... ( nearest 10th of a foot )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The side length of inner square = x ft

- The side length of outer square = 20 ft

Find:-

Find the side length of the inner square that would make the area of the inner square equal to 75% of the total area of the garden.

Solution:-

- Compute the area of the inner square (A_i) using side length (x):

                                 A_i = side length ^2

                                A_i = x^2 ft^2

- The area of the entire garden is the area (A_o) of the outer square with side length equal to 20 ft.

                                 A_o = side length ^2

                                 A_o = 20^2

                                A_o = 400 ft^2

- The 75% of the entire garden is :

                                 (75 / 100)*A_o

                                 (75 / 100)*400

                                 300 ft^2

- The area of the inner square is 75% of the entire garden the mathematical expression for it is:

                                 A_i = 300 ft^2

                                 x^2 = 300 ft^2

- The side length required for the inner square is the solution to the quadratic equation above:

                                 x = √300

                                 x = 17.320508ft.

                                 x = 17 ft ... ( nearest 10th of a foot )

Derek and Mia place two green marbles and one yellow marble in a bag. Somebody picks a marble out of the bag without looking and
Ahat [919]

Step-by-step explanation:

With each draw, the probability of selecting a green marble is 2/3 and the probability of selecting a yellow marble is 1/3.

To pick two of the the same color, they can either pick green twice or yellow twice.  

P = (2/3)(2/3) + (1/3)(1/3)

P = 5/9

To pick two different colors, they can either pick green first then yellow, or yellow first then green.

P = (2/3)(1/3) + (1/3)(2/3)

P = 4/9

Expected value for Derek is:

D = (5/9)(-1) + (4/9)(1)

D = -1/9

The expected value for Mia is:

M = (5/9)(1) + (4/9)(-1)

M = 1/9
