Answer: The goal was $500

======================================================

Work Shown:

x% = x/100

175% = 175/100 = 1.75

Let g be the goal, which is the amount of money the club wanted to raise

175% of goal = 175% of g = 1.75g

The expression 1.75g represents how much money was actually raised, which was $875. Set the two expressions equal to each other. Solve for g

1.75g = 875

g = 875/1.75 ....... divide both sides by 1.75

g = 500

The club's goal was to raise $500

Note how 75% of $500 is 0.75*500 = 375

When they raised 175% of the goal, this means they went 75% overboard and added on 375 additional dollars (on top of the 500 they wanted). So they got to 500+375 = 875 which lines up with the instructions. This helps verify the answer.

Or we can see that 1.75*g = 1.75*500 = 875 which helps confirm the answer as well.

What is the lateral area of the pyramid
Mkey [24]

Answer:

43.75 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

s_l = (l√(w/2)² + h²) + (w√(l/2)² + h²)

l & w become 3.5, and h becomes 6.

<em />s_l<em> </em>= (3.5√(3.5/2)² + 6²) + (3.5√(3.5/2)² + 6²)

<em>Step 1:Because this is a square pyramid, what you see above essentially becomes what you see below.</em>

<em />s_l = 2(3.5√(3.5/2)² + 6²)

<em>Step 2: Divide 3.5 by 2 to get 1.75.</em>

<em />s_l<em> </em>= 2(3.5√1.75² + 6²)

<em>Step 3: Square both 1.75 and 6 to get 3.0625 and 36 respectively.</em>

s_l = 2(3.5√3.0625 + 36)

<em>Step 4: Add 3.0625 and 36 to get 39.0625.</em>

<em />s_l = 2(3.5√39.0625)

<em>Step 5: The square root of 39.0625 is 6.25.</em>

<em />s_l<em> </em>= 2(3.5 * 6.25)

<em>Step 6: Multiply 3.5 by 6.25 to get 21.875.</em>

<em />s_l = 2(21.875)

<em>Step 7: Multiply 2 by 21.875 to get 43.75.</em>

<em />s_l = 43.75 ft²

The lateral area of this pyramid is 43.75 ft².

If the leg of a triangle is 48 and the hypotenuse is 60 what is the length of the other leg
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The length of the other would be 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

b² = c² - a²

b² = 60² - 48²

b² = 3600 - 2304

b² = 1296

√b² = √1296

b = 36

Rectangle $ABCD$ is the base of pyramid $PABCD$. If $AB = 8$, $BC = 4$, $\overline{PA}\perp \overline{AD}$, $\overline{PA}\perp
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

<h2>181.33</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the base of the pyramid PABCD is a rectangle, the shape in question is a rectangular based pyramid. Volume of a rectangular based pyramid is expressed as V = 1/3 * Base Area * Height of the pyramid.

Given a rectangle ABCD with AB = 8 and BC = 4, the area of the rectangle will be equivalent to the base area of the pyramid.

Base Area = Length * Breadth

Base Area = AB * BC

Base Area = 8*4 = 32

If \overline{PA}\perp \overline{AD}\ and \ \overline{PA}\perp \overline{AB}, and PB = 17, then the height of the pyramid is PB = 17.

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 * 32 * 17

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 * 544

Volume of the rectangular based pyramid = 181.33

Complete this table to show the sample space for each roll in the game
leva [86]

I'm assuming you only need help with part B. If that's the case, then all we do is add up the values outside of the table to get the inner cell results. For example, in row 1, column 1, we have 1's outside. They add to 1+1 = 2. So we'll have 2 in the first row and first column of the table. The other cells are computed in this way. In figure 1 (see attached image), I show the intermediate step of adding. Then in figure 2, I actually add up the values and show the final result of what the table will look like when all said and done. Take note of the color coding to help see how the values match up for each inner cell of the table. The color coding is optional.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: 

Part C -- Part 1) Probability of rolling double sixes


There are five copies of "6" in the table (see figure 2 of the attached image) out of 36 total possibilities. How did I get 36? It's the result of multiplying 6*6. This is because there are 6 faces per die. As the table shows, there are 6 rows and 6 columns giving 36 cells total.


So we divide the number of times "6" shows up (5 times) out of the number of total possibilities (36 total) to get: 5/36 = 0.1389 = 13.89%


Answer as a fraction: 5/36

Answer as a decimal: 0.1389

Answer as a percent: 13.89%

The decimal and percent forms are approximate

---------------------------------------------


Part C -- Part 2) Probability of rolling doubles


To roll doubles, all we need to do is roll the same number twice on each die. In other words, we have "twin values" so to speak. Back in part 1 above, we dealt with just '6's showing up twice. There are other doubles as well


The doubles possibilities are: 

1 and 1

2 and 2

3 and 3

4 and 4

5 and 5

6 and 6


Each combo listed above only shows up once. So we have 6 instances where we have doubles (one instance per side of the die). This is out of 36 total


Divide the values mentioned: 6/36 = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67%


Answer as a fraction: 1/6

Answer as a decimal: 0.1667

<span>Answer as a percent: 16.67%</span>

The decimal and percent forms are approximate
