Given is :

The radius of the spherical container = 13 units

A square plate rests horizontally in a spherical container and is 1 unit above the bottom point of the container. So, the distance from the center of the sphere to the center of the plate = 12 units. And the distance from the center of the sphere to the corner of the plate is 13 units.

Lets assume the side is 'x' units

Now using Pythagoras theorem, we will find the distance from the center of the plate to the corner :

12^{2} +x^{2} =13^{2}

144+x^{2} =169

x^{2} =25

x=5 units

So, the length of the diagonal becomes 10 units.

Now, we get an isosceles triangle with sides x,x and 10 units.

x^{2} +x^{2} =10^{2}

2x^{2} =100

x^{2} =50

x=\sqrt{50}

Hence, the length of a side of this plate is \sqrt{50} units.

You pick 4 digits (0-9) at random without replacement, and write them in the order picked. what is the probability that you have
Sophie [7]

The number of ways of choosing 4 digits from 10 digits without replacement ( order is important) is P(10,4)=\frac{10!}{(10-4)!} =\frac{10!}{(6)!} =7*8*9*10=5040. This is the number of all possible permutations of choosing 4 from 10. The first 4 numbers of your phone number is a unique 4 digit number(4 different digits). The required probability is

\frac{1}{5040}

A parallelogram has a length of 15cm and a height of 7.5cm . Calculate it’s area (step by step)
poizon [28]

Answer:

Area of parallelogram is equal to 112.5cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given length pf parallelogram which is equal to base of parallelogram is b=15 cm

Height of parallelogram h = 7.5 cm

We have to find the area of the parallelogram.

Area of parallelogram is equal to multiplication of base and height.

Therefore area of parallelogram is,

A=bh, here b is base and h is height.

So A=15\times 7.5=112.5cm^2

Therefore area of parallelogram is equal to 112.5cm^2
