If a rectangle has an area of 36 square units, what could the dimensions be?

1 answer:

6 0

The area of a rectangle is length times width. Since a square's length is equal to its width, a square's area is equal to the length of one side times itself. So, reversed, the square root of the square's area gives the length of one side. In this case, the square root of 36 square centimeters is 6 centimeters. Again, since all four sides of a square are the same, its perimeter is equal to the length of one side times four. For a square with one side equal to 6 centimeters, the perimeter equals 24 centimeters.

Answer:

Blue: $\frac{6}{10} =\frac{3}{5}$

Red: $\frac{1}{10}$

Blue: $\frac{16}{40} =\frac{2}{5}$

Red: $\frac{8}{40} =\frac{1}{5}$

No the experimental probabilities found in "A" are not equal to the probabilities found in "B". The sample size of the the experiment was not large enough to reflect the actual probability.

Blue: 80

Yellow: 50

Red: 40

Orange: 30

What you do is you do 93 x 81.

                             93
                          x 81
                      ------------
                              93
                        + 7440
                      -------------
                           7,533

That's the square footage. Hope it helps!
