Answer:

shorter piece = 6. longer piece = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

short piece = s

long piece = l

l+s= 18

l= 6+s , substitute

6+s+s = 18

6+2s= 18

2s= 18-6

2s= 12

s=12/2

s= 6= shorter piece

l= 6+s

l= 6+6= 12 = longer piece

The area of a square is given by x?, where x is the length
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she doubles the area of her lot, it should be 2x^2.

But how do you get that?

The answer is that the sides have now increased to √2x

How did I get that, and why did I choose it?

  • The formula for a square's area is s^2
  • If you want to double the area, it will be 2 s^2.  Now what?
  • Take the square root of 2s^2 which is √(2s^2).
  • What that means is the side is now √2 s

What are your thoughts on the loss of trees? Explain. (At least 4 sentences long).
kipiarov [429]

Answer: My thoughts on the loss of trees is quite disappointing due to the fact that we need them to survive. The loss of trees is not something good for the environment because many animals need it for shelters. It could cause animals to be endangered because they can’t hide from predators or hunters. Hopefully the trees will start increasing in 2020.

Find the probability that when a couple has four ​children, at least one of them is a girl. ​(Assume that boys and girls are equ
AveGali [126]

Answer:

0.9375 = 93.75% probability that at least one of the four children is a girl.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

We have the following sample space

In which b means boy, g means girl

b - b - b - b

b - b - b - g

b - b - g - b

b - b - g - g

b - g - b - b

b - g - b - g

b - g - g - b

b - g - g - g

g - b - b - b

g - b - b - g

g - b - g - b

g - b - g - g

g - g - b - b

g - g - b - g

g - g - g - b

g - g - g - g

Total outcomes

There are 16 total outcomes(size of the sample space)

Desired outcomes

Of these outcomes, only 1(b - b - b - b) there is not a girl.

So the number of desired outcomes is 15.

Probability:

P = \frac{15}{16} = 0.9375

0.9375 = 93.75% probability that at least one of the four children is a girl.
