Jared is playing a game on a grid that is made up of 25 equally sized squares. some of the squares are shaded. if the probability of picking a point at random in one of the shaded squares is exactly 0.16, how many of the squares are shaded?

There are 4 squares which are shaded.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of equally sized squares = 25

Some of the squares are shaded.

Probability of picking a point at random in one of the shaded squares = 0.16

We need to find the number of squares which are shaded.

Since we know the formula :

Probability of getting a point at random in one of the shaded squares  is given by

So,it becomes,

Hence, there are 4 squares which are shaded.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
