1.Each plant of a certain variety yields 50 seeds in the early fall and then dies. Only 40 percent of these seeds produce plants the following summer and the remainder never produce plants. At this rate, a single plant yielding seeds in 1986 will produce how many plants as descendants in 1989?
2.A figure has a 10-inch piece of string attached to the ends of a 6-inch rod. If the string is pulled so as to form the sides of a triangle whose base is the rod, then the greatest possible area of such a triangle is?
I asked it already and one person got 11.31 but I would like to know the steps.
Thank you.
