Fun, geometry disguised as probability.
That's a pentagon, which we can view as 10 right triangles with legs a and s/2 (half of s) and hypotenuse r. So area of the pentagon is
P = 10 × (1/2) a (s/2) = 10 (1/2) (3.2) (4.7/2) = 37.6
The area of the circle is πr² so the circle area is
C = π (4²) = 50.265482
The white area is the difference, C-P, and the probability we seek is the fraction of the circle that's white, so (C-P)/C.
p = (C-P)/C =1-P/C = 1-37.6/50.265482 = 0.251971
Answer: 0.25
Higher than I would have guessed from the figure.
Answer is 1

Answer:
C(x) = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Area of the field = 3600 square feet
Fencing charges = $3.50 per foot
Let the side along the river be 'x' feet and the other side of the 'B'
now,
Area of rectangle = Bx = 3600 square feet
or
B =
feet
and total length to be fenced = x + 2B
therefore,
Total cost of fencing = Fencing charges × total length to be fenced
or
Total cost of fencing = $3.50 × ( x + 2B )
substituting the value of B from (1)
Total cost of fencing, C(x) = 
or
C(x) = 
There are 64 people in the room.
Since the ratio for women increases 1 when 8 women enter the room, for every time there is 1 in the ratio there are 8 people. That means that originally you have to do 3x8 and 4x8. You get 24 and 32 which equals 56. Then when 8 more women enter the room, you get 64.
Answer:
It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the coin, after t seconds, is given by the following equation:

How long will it take the coin to reach the stream?
The stream is the ground level.
So the coin reaches the stream when h(t) = 0.


Multiplying by (-1)

Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:



In this question:

So




Time is a positive measure, so we take the positive value.
It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.
