Answer: 15/91 which is choice B
=================================================================
There are two methods to find this answer.
Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91
--------------------
Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.
We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)
Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)
So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.
Answer:
You can use either of the following to find "a":
- Pythagorean theorem
- Law of Cosines
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you have an isosceles trapezoid with one base 12.6 ft and a height of 15 ft.
I find it reasonably convenient to find the length of x using the sine of the 70° angle:
x = (15 ft)/sin(70°)
x ≈ 15.96 ft
That is not what you asked, but this value is sufficiently different from what is marked on your diagram, that I thought it might be helpful.

Consider the diagram below. The relation between DE and AE can be written as ...
DE/AE = tan(70°)
AE = DE/tan(70°) = DE·tan(20°)
AE = 15·tan(20°) ≈ 5.459554
Then the length EC is ...
EC = AC - AE
EC = 6.3 - DE·tan(20°) ≈ 0.840446
Now, we can find DC using the Pythagorean theorem:
DC² = DE² + EC²
DC = √(15² +0.840446²) ≈ 15.023527
a ≈ 15.02 ft

You can also make use of the Law of Cosines and the lengths x=AD and AC to find "a". (Do not round intermediate values from calculations.)
DC² = AD² + AC² - 2·AD·AC·cos(A)
a² = x² +6.3² -2·6.3x·cos(70°) ≈ 225.70635
a = √225.70635 ≈ 15.0235 . . . feet
