the rectangular swimming pool in my backyard is 15 feet wide and 30 feet long. I have a raft in the shape of a right triangle wi

th a base of 3 feet and a height of 4 feet. if I jump off of the diving board into the pool what is the probability that I will land on my raft?

Hey there!

First of all, let's find the area of the pool.

15(30)=450 feet squared.

Now, let's find the area of the triangle.

4(3)=12/2=6 feet squared

Assuming that you can land anywhere in the pool, including the diving board (as we didn't get any measurements for it so that we can eliminate it)

This gives us 6/450, which simplifies to 1/75.

Therefore, you have 1/75 or 1.3% chance of landing on the raft.

I hope this helps!

How many solutions does the equation x_1 +x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5=21 have where x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, and x_5 are nonnegative integers and

omeli [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} + x_{4} + x_{5} = 21\\$ (given)

Let us consider :

$x_{1}$ = $t_{1} + 1$

$x_{2}$ = $t_{2}$

$x_{3}$ = $t_{3}$

$x_{4}$ = $t_{4}$

$x_{5}$ = $t_{5}$

Now, by substituting the above considerations in the above equation, we get:

$t_{1} + 1 + t_{2} + t_{3} + t_{4} + t_{5} = 21\\$

$t_{1} + t_{2} + t_{3} + t_{4} + t_{5} = 20\\$

where,

$t_{i}$ $\geq$ 1

then it follows

n = 20

r = 4

then no. of solutions for the eqn = $_{r}^{n + r}\textrm{C}$

= $_{4}^{24}\textrm{C}$

= 10626

Answer :

no. of solutions for the eqn 10626

In the center of town there is a square park with an area of 900 square feet. If Stephen walks from one corner of the park to th

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The distance walked by Stephen is 42.42 feet

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that In the center of town there is a square park with an area of 900 square feet

Stephen walks from one corner of the park to the opposite corner

To find: Distance walked by Stephen

We need to find the distance that the person walk from one corner of the park to the opposite corner.

So, we need to find the Diagonal of the square park

<em><u>The diagonal of square is given as:</u></em>

$\text{ Diagonal } = \sqrt{2} \times \text{ side}$

Let us find the length of side of square

Given area of square = 900 square feet

<em><u>The area of square is given as:</u></em>

$area = (side)^2\\\\900 = (side)^2$

Taking square root on both sides,

$side = \sqrt{900} \\\\side = 30$

Thus length of each side of square is 30 feet

<em><u>Therefore, length of diagonal is given as:</u></em>

$diagonal = \sqrt{2} \times 30\\\\diagonal = 1.414 \times 30 = 42.42$

Hence, the distance that the person walks 42.42 feet
