A coin with radius = 1 in is tossed inside a board with floor dimensions of 10 in x12 in. Assume that the coin will land flat and that its landing location will be equally likely among all physically possible positions on the board meaning the coin will always be on the board. What is the probability that the coin's distance from the nearest boundary will be less than 1 in?

A tunnel connecting two portions of a space station has a circular cross-section of radius 34 feet. Two walkway decks are constructed in the tunnel. Deck A is along a horizontal diameter and another parallel Deck B is 2 feet below Deck A. Because the space station is in a weightless environment, you can walk vertically upright along Deck A, or vertically upside down along Deck B. You have been assigned to paint "safety stripes" on each deck level, so that a 6 foot person can safely walk upright along either deck. Determine the width of the "safe walk zone" on each deck. Deck A --> x-axis Deck B (a) Cross-section of tunnel. Deck A Deck B- = Safe walk zone (b) Walk zones. Deck A has a "safe walk zone" of feet. Deck B has a "safe walk zone" of feet Question Help: D Post to forum 1O Chp esc @ 2$ % & 3
A fair in Newport is being planned. One of the rides is named "Big Mini," a transportable Ferris Wheel, built smaller so that it can be taken on the road. The Big Mini has a radius of 14 meters and makes one complete revolution every 26 seconds. The bottom of the wheel is 1.5 meters above the ground. If a person gets on the wheel at its lowest point, determine how high above the ground that person will be after 1 minute and 11 second? Round your answer to four places after the decimal.
