Take a Spin
A sample space is
typically enclosed
in braces, ( ), with
commas between
the outcomes.
An outcome is a result of an experiment. The sample space is the set of
all the possible outcomes of an experiment. An event is an outcome or set
of outcomes in a sample space.
The probability of an event is the ratio of the number of desired outcomes
to the total number of possible outcomes. The probability of event A is
P(A) = number of outcomes in A
A total possible outcomes

Part a what is the area of triangle i? show your calculation. part b triangles i and ii are congruent (of the same size and shape). what is the total area of triangles i and ii? show your calculation. part c what is the area of rectangle i? show your calculation. part d what is the area of rectangle ii? show your calculation. part e rectangles i and iii have the same size and shape. what is the total area of rectangles i and iii? show your calculation. part f what is the total area of all the rectangles? show your calculation. part g what areas do you need to know to find the surface area of the prism? part h what is the surface area of the prism? show your calculation. part i read this statement: “if you multiply the area of one rectangle in the figure by 3, you’ll get the total area of the rectangles.” is this statement true or false? why? part j read this statement: “if you multiply the area of one triangle in the figure by 2, you’ll get the total area of the triangles.” is this statement true or false? why?
