The probability that the 10th will be able to sit on his/her original seat when the 1st person has randomly changed his/her seat is 7/9

 

Probability :

In Mathematics, Probability stands for the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in a random experiment. It is used to predict how likely an event can happen.

Probability of an event,

P(E) = No of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

Here we have,

10 people always get on a bus in the same order and sit in the same places.

The 1st person has randomly changed his/her seat

Except for 1 remaining number of seats is 9

If 1st person changes his/her place with the remaining 9 seats the number of ways that 1st person can be seated is 9  

In 9 ways 10th will be able to sit on his/her original seat when the 1st person is seated in 2 to 9 seats i.e 7 seats      

Therefore,

The number of favorable outcomes that the 10th person will be able to seat in his/her original seat = 7  

From the above observations,

The probability that the 10th will be able to sit on his/her original seat

= 7 / 9

Sounds as tho' you have an isosceles triangle (a triangle with 2 equal sides).  If this triangle is also a right triangle (with one 90-degree angle), then the side lengths MUST satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

Let's see whether they do.

8^2 + 8^2 = 11^2  ???
 64    + 64 = 121?  NO.  This is not a right triangle.

If you really do have 2 sides that are both of length 8, and you really do have a right triangle, then:

8^2 + 8^2 = d^2, where d=hypotenuse.  Then 64+64 = d^2, and 

d = sqrt(128) = sqrt(8*16) = 4sqrt(8) = 4*2*sqrt(2) = 8sqrt(2) = 11.3.

11 is close to 11.3, but still, this triangle cannot really have 2 sides of length 8 and one side of length 11.

Hey i think the only mistake i caught was when you put 3 points under the line mark instead of only needing 2.
Possibly another mistake at 3a, Only 2 points (but i could be wrong)
