Answer:

11 inches by 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the original photo were 11 inches by 11 inches.

We are informed that the area of the reduced photo is 64 square inches and that In the equation (x – 3)^2 = 64, x represents the side measure of the original photo.

In order to solve for x, we shall first take square roots on both sides of the equation;

The square root of (x – 3)^2 is simply (x - 3).

The square root of 64 is ±8 but we ignore -8 since the dimensions of any figure must be positive.

Therefore, we have the following equation;

x - 3 = 8

x = 8 + 3

x = 11

In the SuperLottery, three balls are drawn (at random) from ten white balls numbered from $1$ to $10$, and one SuperBall is draw
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with the red ball because it is easier. You have 1/10 chances to pick the same number that is drawn randomly. Thus your base probability is .1

Now going to the white balls, you need atleast 2 numbers picked as the numbers drawn. Let's say we pick numbers 1-3. In order to win, the numbers 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 1 and 3, or 1 2 and 3 must be drawn. You can calculate the probability for each of these cases. In the case only 2 are drawn, the probability for each is 0.075. Since there are three cases that this could happen, you multiply this probability by 3, becoming 1/4. However, there is also the chance that you get all three. The probability of this is 3/10*2/9*1/8.

.225 + .1 + 0.008333  = 33.333...% or 1/3

The diagram shows a scale drawing of a playground. In the scale drawing the playground has a length of 16 cm and a width of 8 cm
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

3 m : 4 cm, 3 m/4 cm, 3 m to 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual playground will have an area of 72 m², and have one side be double the other, because the scale drawing does so too.

We can make a system of equations: l * w = 72, l = 2w

Substitute: 2w * w = 72

Simplify: 2 * w² = 72

Divide: w² = 36

Square root: <em>w = 6 m</em> (no negatives due to distances always > 0)

Substitute: l = 2 * 6 m

Simplify: <em>l = 12 m</em>

This means that the relations of one side is <em>6 m : 8 cm</em>. That can be simplified to 3 m : 4 cm.

What is another way to group the factors (3x2)x5
tia_tia [17]

<u>Answer</u>

3×(2×5)

<u>Explanation</u>

Multiplication of numbers is associative. For example,

(a×b)×c = a×(b×c)

This is also called grouping. We multiply more than 2 numbers by grouping.

For the equation given above, (3x2)x5, it can also be grouped as 3×(2×5).
