Answer:

a= 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

The diagonal is the hypotenuse  and the length and width are the legs

a^2 + 15^2 =25^2

a^2 +225 = 625

Subtract 225 from each side

a^2+225-255=625-225

a^2 = 400

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) =sqrt(400)

a = 20

From a standard deck of cards, what is the probability that you choose a red card and then choose a 3 assuming you replaced the
Hunter-Best [27]
A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. Half of the deck has red cards and half has black cards. So the first probability would be 26/52, or 1/2 (simplified, it's half the deck).

Then you put the card back and choose a 3. There are 4 cards with the number 3 in the deck. So it's 4/52.

Then you multiply both the probabilities
26/52 x 4/52 = \frac{1}{2}  x  \frac{1}{13} = 1/26
