Answer: Decompose means the opposite, to take apart
Step-by-step explanation: In this lesson, the words composition and decomposition are used to describe how irregular figures can be separated into triangles and other polygons. The area of these parts can then be added together to calculate the area of the whole figure.
You want to draw 2 kings from a 52 card deck. And you do it with replacement.
There are 4 kings in a standard deck. The probability of getting one of them is
4/52 on the first draw.
For the second draw the probability is the same.
4/52
The probability for both happening is
(4/52)*(4/52) = (1/13)*(1/13) = 1/169 = 0.001597
You would think it was 3 * 12 = 36. Not so. All polygons have to be broken down into some figure that will give 2 dimensions that are at right angles to each other. That would mean that
d1 * d2 = Area for the small polygon
3d1 * 3d2 = area of the larger polygon
What that means is that the area of the larger one is 9 times the smaller one.
Area large = 12 * 9 = 108 square units. <<<<< answer.
If you find this hard to be leave try it with a square.
Suppose you have a square (the small one) that is 3 cm by 3 cm
The small one has an area of 3*3 cm^2 = 9 cm
Now you have another square that is 3 times larger. That means that each side is 3*3 = 9
So s = 9
Area = s^2
Area = 9^2 = 81 cm^2
81 is 9 times larger than 9 just as you would think.
