Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
It is NOT a RIGHT triangle so you <u>cannot use</u> 1/2 b * h
but you can use Heron's Formula
Area = sqrt( s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )
s = semi- perimeter = (3+6+7)/2 = 8
Area = sqrt ( 8 ( 8-3)(8-6)(8-7) ) = sqrt ( 80) = 8.9 cm^2
Answer: 3/16
Step-by-step explanation: To multiply fractions, first multiply across the numerators and then multiply across the denominators.
× 
= ?
15 × 1 = 15
20 × 4 = 80
can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor which is 5.
15 ÷ 5 = 3
80 ÷ 5 = 16
Therefore, × = 
Answer:
The other side was decreased to approximately .89 times its original size, meaning it was reduced by approximately 11%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start with the basic equation for the area of a rectangle:
l × w = a
And now express the changes described above as an equation, using "p" as the amount that the width is changed:
(l × 1.1) × (w × p) = a × .98
Now let's rearrange both of those equations to solve for a / l. Starting with the first and easiest:
w = a/l
now the second one:
1.1l × wp = 0.98a
wp = 0.98a / 1.1l
1.1 wp / 0.98 = a/l
Now with both of those equalling a/l, we can equate them:
1.1 wp / 0.98 = w
We can then divide both sides by w, eliminating it
1.1wp / 0.98w = w/w
1.1p / 0.98 = 1
And solve for p
1.1p = 0.98
p = 0.98 / 1.1
p ≈ 0.89
So the width is scaled by approximately 89%
We can double check that too. Let's multiply that by the scaled length and see if we get the two percent decrease:
.89 × 1.1 = 0.979
That should be 0.98, and we're close enough. That difference of 1/1000 is due to rounding the 0.98 / 1.1 to .89. The actual result of that fraction is 0.89090909... if we multiply that by 1.1, we get exactly .98.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the probability of him pulling out a book.
There are 11 objects in total, and there are 4 books.
So, the probability of pulling out a book is 
Next, find the probability of him pulling out a DVD after.
Since a book was taken out, there are only 10 objects left. There are 5 DVDs.
So, the probability of pulling out a DVD is 
, or simplified to 
To find the probability that this happens in order, multiply the probabilities:
x
=
So, the probability is
