Answer:

AB = 4

BC = 4

AC = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, B is the midpoint of AC which means it divided the AC into two equal parts. Using this information we can write the following equation:

5x - 6 = 2x add 6 to both sides

5x = 2x + 6 subtract 2x from both sides

3x = 6 divide both sides by 3

x = 2 to find the length of AB, AC, and BC replace x with 2

AB = 5*2 - 6

BC = 2*2

AC = 8 (sum of AB and BC)

$=\frac{^{6}_{C_{3}}\times ^{5}_{C_{2}}}{^{11}_{C_{5}}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}\times \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}}{\frac{11!}{5!(11-5)!}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{6!}{3! \times 3!}\times \frac{5!}{2! \times 3!}}{\frac{11!}{5! \times 6!}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3!}{3 \times 2 \times 1\times 3!}\times \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3!}{2 \times 1 \times 3!}}{\frac{11 \times10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6! }{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 6!}}\\\\$

$=\frac{ (5 \times 4) \times(5 \times 2)}{(11 \times 3 \times 2 \times 7 )}\\\\=\frac{ 20 \times 10 }{(11 \times 42)}\\\\=\frac{ 200 }{462}\\\\=\frac{100 }{231}\\\\=0.4329$
