The minimum number of socks that she needs to get such that a pair is always formed is 5.

<h3></h3><h3>How many socks must she get to be ensured of having a pair?</h3>

We know that she has:

  • 10 white socks.
  • 10 black socks
  • 10 brown socks
  • 10 blue socks.

First, we need to compute the maximum number of socks she needs to take in such a case that no pair is formed.

That will be 4, and represents the case where:

1 white sock, 1 black sock, 1 brown sock, and 1 blue sock are drawn. At that point, no pairs are formed.

Now, if she draws another sock, a pair will always be formed.

From this, we conclude that if she draws 5 socks, always at least one pair will be formed.

Use triangle ABC below to answer the question that follows:
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: Choice 1) The sum of the angles A and B are supplementary to angle C


Why is this the answer? Because we'll use facts 2 through 4 to help prove the triangles similar. If fact 2 is true, then fact 3 leads to helping set up the congruent corresponding angles (either A = D or C = E). Fact 4 is true because all angles are congruent to themselves, and this fact is the other angle pair we need to prove the triangles similar.


We don't use fact 1 even though it's a true statement. The fact that A+B+C = 180 isn't really useful to compare across two triangles.
