#21-5: a bag holds baseball bats of different length. there are six 24-inch, five 25-inch, and three 26-inch bats. when larry grabs a bat at random, how likely is he to choose a 24-inch bat?

3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, how many bats are there in total: 6 + 5 + 3 = 14

Now, how many of those bats are 24-inch: 6

So 6 out of the 14 bats are 24-inch.

As a fraction: 6/14

We can now simplify this by dividing top and bottom by 2: 3/7

the area of a triangle is determined by the formula: base x height * 1/2

you'll need to assign a base to the triangle. based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). the distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

so the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. the height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). we should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

so the height is 3.

base = 4

height = 3

hope this if needed hmu
