Answer:

y = 6.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of sides of the square.

Given the following data;

Perimeter of square = 8y - 12

Area of square = 100 square units

To find the value of y;

Area of a square = L²

Substituting into the formula, we have;

100 = L²

L = √100

L = 10 units

Mathematically, the perimeter of a square is given by the formula;

Perimeter of a square = 4L

Substituting into the formula, we have;

8y - 12 = 4*10

8y - 12 = 40

8y = 40 + 12

8y = 52

y = 52/8

y = 6.5 units

Answer:

y=6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is 8y-12

Side=(Perimeter)/4=(8y-12)/4=2y-3

Area=(Side)^2

100=(2y-3)^2

2y-3=10

y=6.5

For the spinner above, the probability of landing on black is 1/2, and the probability of landing on red is 1/3. Suppose it is s
saul85 [17]

Answer:

d) The probability spinner will land on black all three times is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of landing on black = 1/2

The probability of landing on red    =  1/3.

Now, if the spinner is spun 3 times.

The probability  it will land on black all three times  

= \textrm{ (The probability of landing on black)}^3

= \frac{1}{2}   \times  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{1}{2}  = \frac{1}{2 \times 2 \times 2 } = \frac{1}{8}

Hence, the probability spinner will land on black all three times is 1/8.

How do you know if a square root of something is rational or irrational? like i know it can be represented by a fraction or a ra
ra1l [238]
The square root of a whole number will be rational if the whole number is a perfect square (i.e 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc) and irrational otherwise.

Rational number is a number that can be described as m/n 

so a fraction can be a rational number, 0.8=4/5 
Irrational numbers can't be written as a fraction 

The part about the number having to be a perfect square is still correct, if it's not a prefect square than it will just keep going(a decimal that never ends) 

for example the square root of 0.64 is 0.8 
and the square root of 10 is 3.162277... 
as you can see the 0.64 one ends and is rational, whereas the 10 one just keeps going and is irrational.
