Answer:

The probability is 1/36.

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 are dog owners

1/6 are cat owners

1/6 are bird owners

If you choose two owners, there is a 1/6 chance that you will choose a cat owner and a 1/6 chance you will choose a bird owner. Each of these are independent, so you simply multiply 1/6 by 1/6.

1/6 * 1/6= 1/36

What is the area of the composite shape A pentagon is shown.

Answer:

37in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

So if the triangles at the top have a hypotenuse of 5, and a length of 4, then doing reverse Pythagorean theorem, you find out that the width is 3. $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ . so reverse of that for this problem would be $c^{2} -b^{2} =a^{2}$ and if we plug it in, we get 25 -16=9 and the square root of 9 is 3. so if we find the are of the triangle, 3*4*1/2=6 and there are 2 triangles so 12 for both triangles. The square is 5*4=20. and the smaller triangles on the side are 1*5*1/2=2.5, and there are 2 traingles so 2.5*2= 5. So 5+20+12=37. You can do this on most calculators, and please put my answer as the brainliest.✌
