Answer:
The average number of trials required to get the first success
The correct answer to your problem is 96
The perimeter represents the amount of wood needed and the area represents the amount of class needed.
so 2*(2/3) + 2(2) = 4/3 + 4= 4 4/3 or 5 1/3 wood is needed for the border.
for the mirror, you will need the area= 4/3 * 2 = 8/3 sq yds or 2 2/3 sq yards is needed.
I’ll try to make a step by step demonstration! Feel free to skip to step 5 for the answer, though
1. The formula for a right triangular prism is (1/2)*base*height*length, and we know what the base (4 cm) and length (8 cm) are, but not the height
2. To find the height we must divide the side triangle into two, which then gives us two right triangles
3. Focusing on just one of the right triangles, its base will be 2 cm rather than 4 (as it has been divided by two) and its hypotenuse will be 4 cm; using Pythagorean’s theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), solve for the missing side (the height), which should end up being √12
4. Multiply! (1/2)4*√12*8 ≈ 55.425
5. Round to the nearest tenth —> 55.4
I hope this helped somewhat! Comment if clarification is needed
