Answer: C) 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
If the polarizes are parallel, then it will be 0%. But if they're both perpendicular than it will be 50%. If they are neither parallel nor perpendicular, than it will be less than 50% and greater than 0%
Width = x
length = x+10
Area of deck = 144 square feet
Area = length * width
144 = x(x+10)
Solving for x in a quadratic:
x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0
Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0
Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18
Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.
Length = x + 10
Length = 18
Width = 8
1) 12 out of 14 = 85% Win Rate
2) Now you have to figure out what is 85% of 21 so you have to plug in what you have ? out of 21 = .85
3) Multiply 21 x .85
4) Answer is They will win 18 out of 21 games
