Answer:

31.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line representing the height of the triangle, and divide it into 2 triangles.

Apply Pythagoras Theorem on one of the smaller triangles first.

h =  \sqrt{ {36}^{2}  -  {(36 \div 2)}^{2} }  \\ h =  \sqrt{ {36}^{2}  -  {18}^{2} }  \\ h =  \sqrt{972}  \\ h = 31.17691...

h = 31.2 inches (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Helga [31]
The probability of it happening once is 1/5, since 10/50 simplifies to 1/5. Because the ticket goes back in the bag, the probability stays constant at 1/5.

For it to happen twice, you multiply the probability of it happening once, twice.

1/5 • 1/5 = 1/25 probability of it being Gary's name twice in a row.

Use a net to find the surface area of the right triangular prism shown below: Three rectangles next to each other with a width o
kifflom [539]

Area tells us the size of a shape or figure. It tells us the size of squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, other polygons, or any enclosed figure.

In the real world it tells us the size of pieces of paper, computer screens, rooms in houses, baseball fields, towns, cities, countries, and so on. Knowing the area can be very important. Think of getting a new carpet fitted in a room in your home. Knowing the area of the room will help make sure that the carpet you buy is big enough without having too much left over.

Calculating Area

Area is measured in squares (or square units).

How many squares are in this rectangle?

example of rectangle with area of 15 square units

We can count the squares or we can take the length and width and use multiplication. The rectangle above has an area of 15 square units.
