Answer:

Multiply the area of the base by the height and divide by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

V = (1/3)Bh

where B = area of the base, and

h = height

Answer: Multiply the area of the base by the height and divide by 3.

Answer:

We khow that the volume of a pyramid is equal the product of the base and the height over 3

So he just needs to multiply them together then divide the result by 3

You have no idea how much it would mean to me and make my day if you helped me with this question ! :)

So to do this, you would use the formula:

Number of favorable outcomes
________________________

Total number of outcomes.

In the first question you are asked: Probability of an even number being spun. We can see that there are 4 even numbers, which is our favorable outcome and that over the number of outcomes, which is 8, would be 4/8 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore the answer to #1 is 0.5 as a decimal or 50% as a percent. (Do it the way the directions tell you to).

In the second question you are asked the probability to spin a number greater than 3. This does not include 3, so you have 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. That is 5 numbers. 5 numbers divided by the total number of outcomes is 5/8, which is equal to 0.625, or 62.5%. Therefore the answer to #2 is 0.625 as a decimal or 62.5% as a percent.

The third question asks for the probability that an odd number would be spun. We can see the odd numbers are: 1,3,5,7. This is 4 favorable outcomes divided by 8, the total number of outcomes. 4/8 is equal to 0.5 or 50%. Therefore the answer to #3 is 50% as a percent or 0.5 as decimal.

Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer. (Not necessarily mine). Thanks, it really helps!

A norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. Find the dimensions of a norman

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. The total perimeter is 38 feet.

The perimeter of the window will be equal to three sides of rectangle plus half the perimeter of circle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2\pi r)=38$

We can see that diameter of semicircle is W. We know that diameter is twice the radius, so we will get:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2r\pi)=38$

$2L+W+\frac{\pi}{2}W=38$

Let us find area of window equation as:

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi (\frac{W}{2})^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W}{2})^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W^2}{4})$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Now, we will solve for L is terms W from perimeter equation as:

$L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)$

Substitute this value in area equation:

$A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Since we need the area of window to maximize, so we need to optimize area equation.

$A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

$A=38W-W^2-\frac{\pi }{2}W^2+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Let us find derivative of area equation as:

$A'=38-2W-\frac{2\pi }{2}W+\frac{2\pi}{8}W$

$A'=38-2W-\pi W+\frac{\pi}{4}W$

$A'=38-2W-\frac{4\pi W}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}W$

$A'=38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}$

To find maxima, we will equate first derivative equal to 0 as:

$38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=0$

$-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=-38$

$\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}=-38$

$\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}*4=-38*4$

$-8W-3\pi W=-152$

$8W+3\pi W=152$

$W(8+3\pi)=152$

$W=\frac{152}{8+3\pi}$

$W=8.723210$

$W\approx 8.72$

Upon substituting $W=8.723210$ in equation $L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)$ , we will get:

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{\pi }{2}8.723210)$

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{8.723210\pi }{2})$

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{27.40477245}{2})$

$L=38-(8.723210+13.70238622)$

$L=38-(22.42559622)$

$L=15.57440378$

$L\approx 15.57$

Therefore, the dimensions of the window that will maximize the area would be $W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .

Julia rounded to the nearest ten to estimate the difference between two numbers. The estimated difference was 10. What are four

serious [3.7K]

To round off to 10, the difference should range from 5 to 14. If the difference between two numbers is from 5 to 14, they all are rounded to 10.

Example:

$18-9=9$ (near to 10)

$26-15=11$

$46-39=7$

$50-42=8$
