This is geometry through and through. Plus a little trig thrown in for fun. If you inscribe an equilateral triangle inside a circle and the triangle has side lengths of 12, you have part of what you need to use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle which is also the radius of the circle. First, use the formula 360/3 to find that the central angle measure of each angle INSIDE a triangle is 120. So you have 3 triangles within the large one, each with a top angle of 120 and a base of 12. If you extract that one triangle and then split it in half, you have a right triangle with a base of 6. This is a 30-60-90 triangle and this is important so you can check your work. Now use the apothem formula for a right triangle as it relates to a side in an equilateral triangle, which is a = sqrt3/6 * s. Our values are a = sqrt3/6(12) which simplifies to 2sqrt3. That's our apothem. If you're familiar with a 30-60-0 triangle, you could check this to see it's correct. Now you have the base leg of 6 and the height of 2sqrt3, now use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the hypotenuse, which is also the radius of the circle. This was really a difficult one to explain.

Martha has a deck of cards. she has lost some of the cards, and now the deck only contains nine spades, eleven diamonds, eight clubs, and twelve hearts. martha predicts that whenever she draws a card from the deck without looking, she will draw a club one-fifth of the time. which activity would best allow martha to test her prediction? a. randomly draw a card from the box and see if it is a club. b. randomly draw a card. then, continue to draw another card until all eight clubs are drawn. c. randomly draw and replace a card 120 times. then, observe how close to 30 times a club is drawn. d. randomly draw and replace a card 100 times. then, observe how close to 20 times a club is drawn.
