Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's say that we don't have jokers. In that case, there are 52 cards, and half of them are red (so 26 are red). The probability of pulling a red card once is 1/2 since half the cards are red.

If we pick one out, there are only 51 total cards left and 25 red cards. So, the probability of picking one again would be 25/51.

We multiply the probabilities of these two events to find the probability of them both happening.

1/2×25/51=25/102

The probability of picking two red cards in a row is 25/102 or around 24.5%.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Find the lateral surface area.

Answer:

900 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

You can draw the pattern that would need to be folded to make the figure, then find the area of that pattern (or "net"). It consists of a rectangle 10 yards wide and 60 yards long, together with another that is 20 yards long and 15 yards wide. The total area is the sum of these ...

... area = (60 yd)(10 yd) + (20 yd)(15 yd)

... = 600 yd² +300 yd²

... = 900 yd²
