Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 8^2 =c^2

36+ 64 = c^2

100=c^2

(square root) 100 = 10

c=10

A piece of carpet is 8 feet wide and 12 feet long the carpet needs to be reduced by a scale farctor so that the reduced carpet i

Murljashka [212]

Answer: 6 ft ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a piece of carpet is 8 feet wide and 12 feet long. The carpet needs to be reduced by a scale factor so that the reduced carpet is 2 feet wide.

First of all, let us find the scale factor by which the width of the carpet has been reduced.

Original width of carpet x scale factor = 12

Dividing both sides by 8 feet we will get:

8 feet x Scale factor/8 ft = 2/8 ft

Scale Factor = 1/4

Let us find the length of carpet after reduced by a scale factor of 1/4.

Length of the carpet after reducing a factor of 1/4=12 ft x 1/4

Length of the carpet after reducing a factor of 1/4=3 ft.

Now we will multiply the reduced length and width of the carpet to find the area of reduced carpet.

Area of reduced carpet = 2 ft x 3 ft

Area of reduced carpet = 6 ft

Therefore, the area of reduced carpet is 6 square feet.

The diameter of a Frisbee is 12 in. What is the area of the Frisbee?

Alina [70]

we know that

Area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

where

r is the radius

in this problem

$diameter=12\ in \\ radius=diameter/2\\ radius=12/2\\ radius=6\ in$

$A=3.14* 6^{2}$

$A=113.04 in^{2}$

therefore

the answer is the option

d. 113.04 sq. in.

What is the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5? Write the fraction, decimal and percent.

stealth61 [152]

Given:

Rolling a fair dice.

To find:

The theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5.

Solution:

The possible numbers of rolling a dice are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Total outcomes = 6

Numbers less than 5 are 1, 2, 3, 4.

Favorable outcomes = 4

Now, the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5 is:

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{4}{6}$

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

In decimal form, it can be written as:

$\text{Probability}\approx 0.67$

In percentage form, it can be written as:

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 100$

$\text{Probability}\approx 66.67%$

Therefore, the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 5 in the fraction, decimal and percent are $\dfrac{2}{3}, 0.67$ and $66.67\%$ respectively.
