Answer:

d. 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Having at least 1 girl out of 3 children means that there can be 1, 2 or 3 girls out of the 3 children.

So having at lest 1 girl out of 3 children is the same as saying that all 3 children are not boys.

The probability that all 3 children are boys would be

chance that child 1 is a boy * chance that child 2 is a boy * chance that child 3 is a boy = 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.125

And the probability that NOT all 3 children are boys would be

100% - probability that all 3 children are boys = 1 - 0.125 = 0.875

An isosceles triangle has slant height s and angle t opposite the base. Find a formula for the base length b in terms of the ang
Mars2501 [29]

OK, let's try with no figure.  We have an isosceles triangle sides s,s, and b.

Opposite b is angle t.

Draw the altitude h to bisect t.  We have two right triangles, legs b/2 and h, hypotenuse s.  The angle opposite b/2 is t/2 so

sin(t/2) = (b/2)/s = b/2s

So we arrived at the first part,

b = 2s sin(t/2)

The area of a triangle with sides s,s and included angle t is

A = (1/2) s² sin t
