Answer:

56.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

If John rolls first and Lucy rolls second, in order to find the probability that Lucy wins we need to multiply the probability that John's roll is less than 10 by the probability that Lucy's roll is less than 10. There are a total of 12 possible outcomes that can occur in a pair of dice, therefore John's probability of rolling less than a 10 would be \frac{9}{12} which would also be the same probability of Lucy rolling smaller than a 10. Now we simply multiply this probability by itself...

\frac{9}{12} * \frac{9}{12}  = \frac{81}{144} or 0.5625

We can multiply this decimal by 100 to get the percentage probability

0.5625 * 100 = 56.25%

The probability of Lucy winning the game is 56.25%

What is the area of a triangle with vertices at (-3 3) (-3,2) and (1,2)?
d1i1m1o1n [39]
This is a right triangle, so first find the distance between the two legs...

Points where the numbers are the same indicate a point that is on the same axis as the other

(-3, 3) and (-3, 2) have a distance of 1


(-3,2) and (1,2) have a distance of 4

The area formula for a triangle is 1/2bh and in this case 1/2(1)(4) = 2

The area is 2
