A parallelogram is made up of a rectangle with a base of 12 centimeters (cm) and a height of 5 cm, and two triangles, each with

a base of 2 cm and height of 5 cm. Jeremy calculates the area of the parallelogram by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle to get 60 cm2.
Is Jeremy's answer correct? Why or why not?

Select the option that correctly answers both questions.

No, he forgot to multiply by 12 when calculating the area of the rectangle.

Yes, he correctly calculated the area of the parallelogram as b⋅h.

No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.

Yes, he correctly calculated the area of the parallelogram as 12bh.

No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.

It is said that Jeremy thought he solved for the area of the whole parallelogram correctly by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle, which is just a part of the whole parallelogram.

Jeremy’s answer is incomplete, he only calculated the area of the triangle as the answer.

This is because one way of finding an area of a parallelogram is dividing the shape into a rectangle with a triangle on each side.

The real area of the parallelogram is 70 cm^2
(with areas of each triangles added)

With that being said, the formula of a parallelogram that is said is:
A = bh
Which means a height perpendicular to the base of the whole paralleogram.

In 2012, Red Rose tea randomly began placing 1 of 12 English porcelain miniature figurines in a l00-bag box of the tea, selectin
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

n = 144 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- English porcelain miniature figurines in total = 12

- 1 figurine is to be placed in a 100-bag box

Find:-

On the average, how many boxes of tea must be pur-chased by a customer to obtain a complete collection consisting of the 12 nautical figurines?

Solution:-

- We will denote a random variable (X) as the number of figurines in (n) number of bags purchased.

- The probability (p) of finding a figurine in a single bag is ( success ):

                                 p = 1 / 12

- The random variable (X) can follow a binomial distribution with parameters n = number of bags purchased, and p = probability of selecting a bag with a figurine.

                                X ~ B ( n , 1/12 )

- The average number of bag "n" that need to be purchased to find all 12 figurines available:

                               E ( X ) = 12

                               n*p = 12

                               n = 12 / p

                               n = 12 / ( 1 / 12) = 12^2

                               n = 144 bags

- A total of average n = 144 bags need to be purchased to find all the 12 figurines.
