Next    figure  out how many    of  those   points  are 2   units   or  less    from    the origin. In  other   words,
you’re looking for points (x,y) such that x^2 + y^2 ≤ 4. There are 9 points on the axes that work:

(0,−2), (0,−1), (0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (−2,0), (−1,0), (1,0), (2,0)


Additionally    there   are these   four    points  that    fit:

(−1,−1), (−1,1), (1,−1), (1,1)


That’s  a   total   of  9   +   4   =   13: Favorable   outcomes    =   13.

So  the probability is  13  ÷   49  ≈   0.265.

13 . A
It’s a right triangle, so the two acute angles add up to 90 degrees.


Since   their   degree  measures    are in  a   2-to-3  ratio,  they    must    be   of 90  and  of 90, or  36  and
54:

The side    AC  you’re  looking for is  opposite    the 36° angle.  Therefore,

Use your    calculator  to  find    that    sin 36° ≈   0.588.  Therefore,
