Answer:

77.74 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We have to keep the triangle and the rectangle apart and find the area of each separately then add the areas together.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is height x width = area

So, 6.5 feet x 10.4 feet = 67.6 feet squared

The formula for the area of a triangle is height x width x (1/2) = area

So, 5.2 feet x 3.9 feet x (1/2) = 10.14 feet squared

Now, add the two areas together.

10.14 square feet + 67.6 square feet = 77.74 square feet

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a)

- the probability she will win the dinner for two is 0.016

- the probability she will not win the dinner for two is 0.984

b)

- Lisa's expected earnings is $0.57

- Money she effectively contributed to the hiking club is $11.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

fortune cookies; $1 per cookies

club sold 743

a) Lisa bought 12 cookies. What is the probability she will win the dinner for two?

P( she will win ) = Number of cookies bought / Total number of cookies

P( she will win ) = 12 / 743

P( she will win ) = 0.01615 ≈ 0.016

Therefore, the probability she will win the dinner for two is 0.016

P( she will not win ) = 1 - P( she will win )

P( she will not win ) = 1 - 0.016

P( she will not win ) = 0.984

Therefore, the probability she will not win the dinner for two is 0.984

b) Lisa's expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. What are Lisa's expected earnings? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)$

given that value of dinner = $35

P( she will win ) = 0.01615

so

Lisa's earning = $35 × 0.01615

Lisa's earning = $0.57

Therefore, Lisa's expected earnings is $0.57

- How much did she effectively contribute to the hiking club? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)$

Lisa's contribution = Money she paid for cookies - money from expected earnings

Lisa's contribution = ( 12 × $1 ) - $ 0.57

Lisa's contribution = $12 - $0.57

Lisa's contribution = $11.43

Therefore, Money she effectively contributed to the hiking club is $11.43

What is the value of the sum of all the terms of the geometric series 300, 60, 12, …?

ruslelena [56]

<h3>Answer: 375</h3>

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

Work Shown:

a = 300 = first term

r = 60/300 = 0.2 = common ratio

We multiply each term by 0.2, aka 1/5, to get the next term.

Since -1 < r < 1 is true, we can use the infinite geometric sum formula below

S = a/(1-r)

S = 300/(1-0.2)

S = 300/0.8

S = 375

----------

As a sort of "check", we can add up partial sums like so

300+60 = 360
300+60+12 = 360+12 = 372
300+60+12+2.4 = 372+2.4 = 374.4
300+60+12+2.4+0.48 = 374.4+0.48 = 374.88

and so on. The idea is that each time we add on a new term, we should be getting closer and closer to 375. I put "check" in quotation marks because it's probably not the rigorous of checks possible. But it may give a good idea of what's going on.

----------

Side note: If the common ratio r was either r < -1 or r > 1, then the terms we add on would get larger and larger. This would mean we don't approach a single finite value with the infinite sum.
