If a family has six children, how do i calculate the probability that at least one is a girl?
Calculate the probability that there are 6 boys, then subtract that from 1.
Each is a 1/2 chance.
(1/2)^6 = 1/64, the chance of all 6 boys.
The chance of 1 or more girls = 63/64.

Isosceles Triangle


A triangle with two sides of equal length.
a = c
A = C


B + 2A = Pi radians = 180o
P = 2a + b
s = a + b/2
K = b sqrt(4a2-b2)/4 = a2 sin(B)/2 = ab sin(A)/2
ha = b sqrt(4a2-b2)/(2a) = a sin(B) = b sin(A)
ma = sqrt(a2+2b2)/2
ta = b sqrt(a[2a+b])/(a+b) = b sin(A)/sin(3A/2)
hb = mb = tb = sqrt(4a2-b2)/2 = a cos(B/2)
R = a2b/4K = a/[2 sin(A)] = b/[2 sin(B)]
r = K/s = b sqrt[(2a-b)/(2a+b)]/2


Here's a start. Find the radius of the enclosed sphere by dealing with the intersection of the cone and sphere and a plane thru the cone's axis.
r = K/s = b sqrt[(2a-b)/(2a+b)]/2
= b*sqrt(4a^2 - b^2)/(4a+2b)
---------------------------
r above is the radius of the inscribed sphere.
The dimensions of a cone are usually the radius of the base and the height.
a in the triangle is the slant height of the cone, the length of the side.
It's: s = sqrt(h^2 + (b/2)^2) where s = a.
---------------------
Solve for h in terms of a and b:
a = sqrt(h^2 + (b/2)^2)
a^2 = h^2 + (b/2)^2
h^2 = a^2 - (b/2)^2
h = sqrt(a^2 - (b/2)^2) and the radius of the cone = b/2
Vol of the cone = pi*r^2*h/3
Vol = pi*(b/2)^2*sqrt(a^2 - (b/2)^2)/3
-----------------
For the sphere: Vol = 4*pi*r^3/3
= 4*pi*b^3*sqrt[(2a-b)/(2a+b)]/8
-----------------------
Subtract the sphere's volume from the cone's.

If a bicyclist rides at 10 miles per hour for 10 minutes, and then speeds up to 20 miles per hour for the next 20 minutes, what is her average speed for this ride?
-----------
Find the total distance, divide it by the total time.
10 mph*(10/60) + 20 mph*(20/60) = 500/60 miles
= 25/3 miles
Time = 1/2 hour
--> 50/3 mph
=~ 16.67 mph

Use y = mx + b and the point to find the y-intercept.
0 = -4*6 + b
b = 24
--> y = -4x + 24

Solve by factoring. 2h -h -3 = 0
2h - h - 3 = 0
h - 3 = 0
h = 3
No factoring was needed.

3/16+5/16= 8/16= 50%?
Don't add them, multiply them.
If you add them, the probability increases with added restrictions, which makes no sense.
And after getting the 1st one, only 15 are left.
----------------------
The yellow is 3/16
The blue is then 5/15
--> (3/16)*(5/15) = 1/16

I've tried this a few times but when I go to check, it is wrong.
What is the surface area of a soccer ball that has the circumference of 28 inches?
-------------
C = 2pi*r = 28
r = 14/pi
---------
Area = 4pi*r^2
A = 4pi*(14/pi)^2
A = 784/pi sq inches
A =~ 249.555 sq in

log(1500) = 3.17609...
Do you not have a calculator?
Or is that what you meant to ask?
log(1500) = log(3) + log(5) + log(100)
= log(3) + log(5) + 2
----------------------
Logs are exponents. The name logarithm is unfortunate, if they were called exponents it would be easier to understand.
------------
10%5Elog%281500%29+=+1500
The log is the exponent of 10 (10 for "common logs").
