25% decrease because if you multiply 20x.25 you get 5 and you minus the 5 from 20 books and you get 15 books

You have a bag of chocolate candy. Ten of them are red, 7 are brown, 12 are green, and 9 are blue. What is the probability that

Brrunno [24]

It would be $\frac{10}{38}$ , or, in simplest form, $\frac{5}{19}$ .

You get this by adding all the marbles to find the total number of marbles. <em>10+7+12+9</em>, which equals <em>38</em>.

You have <u>10 red marbles out of 38 total</u>, so that is represented by $\frac{10}{38}$ !

P and Q are two points on the line x - y + 1 = 0 and are at distance 5 from the origin. Find the area of the triangle OPQ.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

P and Q are two points on the line x-y+1=0 and are at a distant of 5 units from the origin. Find the area of triangle POQ.

Step-by-step explanation:

P and Q are the intersection points of

x-y+1 = 0 and the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25

sub y = x+1 into the circle

x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25

x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 - 25 = 0

x^2 + x - 12 = 0

(x+4)(x-3) = 0

x = 3 or x = -4

y = 4 or y = -3

so P(3,4) and Q(-4,3) are our two points

Height of triangle.

h = |0 - 0 + 1|/√2 = 1/√2

PQ = √( (-7)^2 + 1^2) = √50 = 5√2

area POQ = (1/2)(1/√2)(5√2) = 5/2 square units

hope this helped
