<span>The probability of missing the first shot is 40%.
When she misses the first shot, the probability of missing the second shot is very, very low, only 5%.
That means that the probability of missing both shots must be much smaller than the probability of missing the first shot.
40/100 * 5/100
0.4 * 0.05
= 0.02
= 2%</span>
Answer:
11 and 13
Step-by-step explanation:
the first (smaller) odd integer can be called x
the second (larger) odd integer can be called x+2
2(x+2)+x = 37
<em>[simplify . . .]</em>
2x+4+x = 37
3x+4 = 37
<em>[subtract 4 from each side]</em>
3x = 33
<em>[divide each side by 3; find smaller odd integer]</em>
x = 11
<em>[add 2 to find larger odd integer]</em>
x+2 = 13

Answer:
20.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The term "hypotenuse" suggests this triangle is a right triangle. Then the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 +12^2 = 24^2
x^2 = 576 -144 = 432
x = √432 ≈ 20.8 . . . cm
The other leg is about 20.8 cm.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A right triangle with a short leg that is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse is the "special" 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The longer leg is √3 times the length of the short leg: 12√3 ≈ 20.8 cm.
