The smaller triangle is 1/6 the size of the large one ( 5/30 = 1/

Area is squared 1/6 ^2 = 1/36

Multiply the area of the large triangle by 1/36:

270 x 1/36 = 270 /36 = 7.5

The area is 7.5 cm^2

The answer is A.

A card is chosen at random from a deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that a king or queen is chosen?

Slav-nsk [51]

The answer is B) 2/13.

An easy way to figure this out is to find what the unsimplified probability would be:

Since there are 8 kings and queens in total, the number is:

8/52

But, since these are both even numbers, they can be simplified.

1/4 x 8 = 2

1/4 x 52 = 13

2/13

Since 13 is a prime number, the answer cannot be simplified anymore.

Simplify 5 square root of 11 end root minus 12 square root of 11 end root minus 2 square root of 11. negative 33 square root of

Alla [95]

As long as your indexes are the same (which they are; they are all square roots) and you radicands are the same (which they are; they are all 11), then you can add or subtract. The rules for adding and subtracting radicals are more picky than multiplying or dividing. Just like adding fractions or combining like terms. Since all the square roots are the same we only have to worry about the numbers outside. In fact, it may help to factor out the sqrt 11: $(5-12-2) \sqrt{11}$ . The numbers subtract to give you -9. Therefore, the simplification is $-9 \sqrt{11}$
