A rectangular dartboard has an area of 648 square centimeters. The triangular part of the dartboard has an area of 162 square ce

ntimeters. A dart is randomly thrown at the dartboard.
Assuming the dart lands in the rectangle, what is the probability that it lands inside the triangle?

Answer:

The probability that the dart lands inside the triangle is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the probability of an event

- The probability of an Event = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total

  number of possible outcomes

- P(A) = n(E) ÷ n(S) , where

# P(A) means finding the probability of an event A

# n(E) means the number of favorable outcomes of an event

# n(S) means set of all possible outcomes of an event

- P(A) < 1

* Lets solve the problem

- A rectangular dartboard has an area of 648 cm²

- The triangular part of the dartboard has an area of 162 cm²

- A dart is randomly thrown at the dartboard

- The dart lands in the rectangle

∴ The area of the rectangle is the set of all possible outcomes n(S)

- The probability P(A) that the dart lands inside the triangle

∴ The area of the triangle is set of favorable outcomes of an

   event n(E)

∵ P(A) = n(E) ÷ n(S)

∴ P(T) = area of the triangle ÷ area of the rectangle

∵ Area of the rectangle is 648 cm²

∴ n(S) = 648

∵ The area of the triangle is 162 cm²

∴ n(E) = 162

∴ P(T) = 162 ÷ 648 = 1/4 = 0.25

* The probability that the dart lands inside the triangle is 0.25

Help please 1. Describe the transformations necessary to transform the graph of
natta225 [31]

Here are all the steps, and what they do:

STEP 1: HORIZONTAL TRANSLATION

We transform

x^2\mapsto (x-1)^2

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto f(x+k)

These transformations translate the graph horizontally, k units to the left if k>0, k units to the right if k<0.

In this case, k = -1, so we translate the original graph 1 unit to the right.

STEP 2: VERTICAL STRETCH

We transform

(x-1)^2\mapsto 3(x-1)^2

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto kf(x)

These transformations stretch the graph vertically. The graph expands if |k|>1, while it shrinks if 0<|k|<1. If k is negative, we also reflect the graph with respect to the x axis.

In this case, k = 3, so we stretch the graph vertically by a factor 3.

STEP 3: VERTICAL TRANSLATION

We transform

3(x-1)^2\mapsto 3(x-1)^2+4

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto f(x)+k

These transformations translate the graph vertically, k units up if k>0, k units down if k<0.

In this case, k = 4, so we translate the graph 4 units up.

So, we start from the original graph of f(x)=x^2 and we:

  • Translate it 1 unit to the right
  • Stretch it vertically by a factor 3
  • Translate it 4 units up

(the order is important!)

to get the graph of g(x)=3(x-1)^2+4

Complete the following equation using &lt;, &gt;, or = 120% ___ 1
kvasek [131]
To solve these types of problems, we need to convert the two values into the same form.  

We know that 1 = 1.00, as adding zeroes to the end of a decimal doesn't change the value.

To change a decimal into a percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100 and add a percent sign.  

1.00 * 100 = 100%

Therefore, 1 = 100%

Because 120% is greater than 100%, thus, 

120% > 1

What is the volume in cubic feet of a greenhouse that is 20 feet long 15 feet wide and 10 feet high
9966 [12]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

3000 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is:

Height x length x width

So simply plug the given values in:

20 x 15 x 10 = 3000

<h3>So the volume is 3000 ft³</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Find the 14th term of the geometric sequence 5, -10, 20 (Please helpp)
Kisachek [45]

Answer: The general formula for exponential sequence or GP is

GP = arn-1 , ie ar raised to the power of n-1 where a is the first term , r is the common ratio and n is the number of terms. Now to find the 14th term we first find the common ratio (r) by dividing the second term by the first term of third by second term.

r = -10/5

=. -2.

Since n is 14-1 = 13. and a is 5
we now put those values in the formula to find the 14th term

T14 = ar^n-1

= 5 x (-2)^13

= 5 x -8192

=. -40,960

There the 14th term of the GP sequence

= -40,960
