Answer:  At least 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve this problem by the pidgeon hole principle. Suppose that Matt pulls out 2 socks, if he gets a matching pair then he is done and that's it. But now suppose that he gets one black sock and one white sock, if he then pulls out a third sock it will be either white or black, in either case he would have gotten with a 100% certainty a matching pair, since he already has a black and a white sock. So the minimum number to ensure he gets a matching pair is 3 socks.

Help please, i really need it because its almost due
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

D sqrt( A ) sqrt(pi) / pi = r

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2

To find r

Divide each side of the equation by pi

A / pi = pi r^2 /pi

A / pi =  r^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(A / pi )= sqrt( r^2)

sqrt(A / pi )= r

We do not like leaving square roots in the denominator, so multiply by sqrt(pi)/sqrt(pi))

sqrt(A / pi ) *sqrt(pi)/sqrt(pi))

sqrt( A ) sqrt(pi) / pi = r
