Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side length of the square be x feet.

x^2 - 5 = 59

x^2 = 64

x = ±4 (reject - 4 since length > 0)

According to the Exterior Angle Theorem, the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.

Complete this equation 2 2/3 +4/5= 40/? + 12/? = ?/?

Answer:(7/8 - 4/5)^2 = 9

1600

= 0.005625

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract: 7

- 4

= 7 · 5

8 · 5

- 4 · 8

5 · 8

= 35

- 32

= 35 - 32

= 3

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(8, 5) = 40. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 5 = 40. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - seven eighths minus four fifths = three fortieths.

Exponentiation: the result of step No. 1 ^ 2 = (3

) ^ 2 = 32

402

= 9

1600

In words - three fortieths squared = nine one-thousand six-hundredths.

You're at a clothing store that dyes your clothes while you wait. You get to pick from 4 pieces of clothing

Zielflug [23.3K]

1 / 12 is the probability that you'll end up with an orange hat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

There are 4 piece of clothing ⇒ shirt, pants, socks, or hat
There are 3 possible colors ⇒ purple, blue, or orange

To find the total number of outcome :

Total outcomes ⇒ (number of clothes) × (number of colors)

⇒ 4 × 3 = 12

Therefore, there will be 12 different possibilities.

The 12 different outcomes are :

⇒ Purple shirt, blue shirt, orange shirt

⇒ Purple pants, blue pants, orange pants

⇒ Purple socks, blue socks, orange socks

⇒ Purple hat, blue hat, and orange hat.

Now, the probability that you'll end up with an orange hat if you choose on random of 12 possibilities ⇒ No.of orange hats / Total no.of outcomes.

∴ P(orange hat) = 1 / 12
