You roll a 6-sided die.
1 answer:
Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
In total, there are <u>six things</u> that can happen when you roll a 6-sided die: you either roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or a 6.
Three of these numbers are odd, therefore meaning the chances of you rolling an odd number is (because there are 6 events which could occur, 3 of which are odd)
Converting this into a fraction can be made easier by simplifying the fraction. As both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 3, you can simplify the fraction to
To turn this into a percentage, first divide 100% by your denominator (2) to get 50%, and then multiply it by your numerator (1). Therefore, P(odd) is 50%.

To express the height as a function of the volume and the radius, we are going to use the volume formula for a cylinder: 
where
is the volume
is the radius
is the height
We know for our problem that the cylindrical can is to contain 500cm^3 when full, so the volume of our cylinder is 500cm^3. In other words:
. We also know that the radius is r cm and height is h cm, so 
and 
. Lets replace the values in our formula:
Next, we are going to use the formula for the area of a cylinder:
where
is the area
is the radius
is the height
We know from our previous calculation that, so lets replace that value in our area formula:
By the commutative property of addition, we can conclude that:
where

Answer:
1.) 16.5
2.) 24.2 ft
3.) 10.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) So first you need to use Heron's formula
S = (A + B + C)/2
So
S = (17 + 17 + 8)/2
S = 21
Now
Area =
So
So the Area is equal to 66.1
Now to find the height we use the Area of the triangle formula
A = 1/2 B*H
66.1 = 1/2(8) * H
66.1 = 4H
H = 16.525
So the height of the triangle is 16.5 units tall
2.) For this question you just use the Pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
So 22² + 8² = c²
484 + 64 = c²
548 = c²
= c
c = 24.1660919472 ft
So the length of the wire is 24.2 ft long
3.) Again this is the Pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
So 10² + 4² = c²
100 + 16 = c²
116 = c²
= c
c = 10.7703296143 ft
So the length of the banner is 10.8 ft long
