Answer:
Tom is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
A square by definition implies that all sides of the square are the same measurements. In the case of finding the area, A = s². Tom, however, solved it as A = 2s.
In this case:
Area of square = s² = 11² = 121 ft²
121 ft² is the correct measurement.

Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
Answer:
37.8+52.2=90
Step-by-step explanation: x + (x + 14.4) = 90
2x + 14.4 = 90
2x = 75.6
x = 37.8 (one angle)
And (x + 14.4) = 52.2 (other angle).
Answer:
0.36 = 36% probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
45% chance that the land has oil.
This means that 
He buys a kit that claims to have an 80% accuracy rate of indicating oil in the soil.
This means that 
What is the probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it?
This is . So
0.36 = 36% probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it
