Required area of shaded portion
= Area of square ABCD - 4 × area of one quadrant

Answer: Lattice parameter, a = (4R)/(√3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The typical arrangement of atoms in a unit cell of BCC is shown in the first attachment.
The second attachment shows how to obtain the value of the diagonal of the base of the unit cell.
If the diagonal of the base of the unit cell = x
(a^2) + (a^2) = (x^2)
x = a(√2)
Then, diagonal across the unit cell (a cube) makes a right angled triangle with one side of the unit cell & the diagonal on the base of the unit cell.
Let the diagonal across the cube be y
Pythagoras theorem,
(a^2) + ((a(√2))^2) = (y^2)
(a^2) + 2(a^2) = (y^2) = 3(a^2)
y = a√3
But the diagonal through the cube = 4R (evident from the image in the first attachment)
y = 4R = a√3
a = (4R)/(√3)
QED!!!
it will be 451/100 as an improper fraction! :)
Answer:
3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The number of spaces that are red is three and the total is 8, so the probablility of red is 3/8
2. The probability of tails is 1/2
3. multiply the expressions 1/2 x 3/8 = 3/16
