Theresa created a piece of art by attaching a square plank to a triangular plank. The square plank has a perimeter of 48 inches. The triangular plank has a base length of 12 inches and a height of 6 inches. She wants to cover the piece of art with colored paper. How many square inches of paper are needed to cover Theresa's art piece?

180 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

AREA of rectangle= 144 inches²

AREA of triangle=36 inches²

144+36=180 inches²

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
