So for this problem you need to find the length of a side of the square. To do this you can use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the right triangle with the side of the square as it’s hypotenuse.
The Pythagorean theorem is:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 1 and b = 3
1^2 + 3^2 = c^2
10 = c^2
square root of 10 = c
Now that we know the length of the side, we can find the area of the square. Area of a square = side^2, so:
Area = (square root of 10)^2 = 10
The area of the square is 10!
Answer:
Prize, P = $352
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let Jeff's share be J.
- Let the value of the prize be P.
<u>Given the following data;</u>
To find the value of the prize;


Cross-multiplying, we have;



<em>Prize, P = $352</em>
Answer:
missing side is 5x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 1 + ( 3x + 6 ) + third side = 9x + 1
x - 1 + 3x + 6 + third side = 9x + 1
4x + 5 + third side = 9x + 1
third side = 9x + 1 - ( 4x + 5 )
third side = 9x + 1 - 4x - 5
third side = 5x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
so,
1/12 × $100
5/12 × $20
6/12 × $1
so the expected "payout" is
100/12 + 100/12 + 6/12 = 206/12 = 103/6 ≈ $17.17
minus the $2 entrance fee, the expected value is
17.17 - 2 = $15.17
but of course, there will be 6 losing $1 (while the other 6 will go home with a positive result).
Its helpful because it gives you the number to put in and to find the unit rate
