Answer:
The answer to your question is x = or x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem because two right triangles are formed.
c² = a² + b²
c = 10
a = x
b = x Because in a square all the sides measure the same.
10² = x² + x²
- Simplify
100 = 2x²
x² = 100/2
x² = 50
x = or x = 5
There are 10 juice boxes in the cooler altogether.
2 of them are grape.
The first time Jill pulls one out with her eyes closed,
the probability that it's a grape is
2 / 10 .
If that try is successful, then there are 9 boxes left in the cooler,
and one of them is grape.
If she already has one grape, and reaches in again with her eyes
closed, the probability of pulling out the second grape is
1 / 9 .
The probability of both events happening in two tries is
(2/10) x (1/9) = 2/90 = 1/45 = (2 and 2/9) percent .
