I need help with this math problem
1 answer:
Consider the right triangle HBF. The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
HF² = HB² + BF²
The lengths HB and BF can be determined by counting grid squares, or by subtracting coordinates. Here, it is fairly convenient to count grid squares. When we do that, we find ...
HB = 2
BF = 5
Using these values in the equation above, we get
HF² = 2² + 5²
HF² = 4 + 25 = 29
Taking the square root gives the length HF.
HF = √29
HF² = HB² + BF²

Assuming they are dice, to work out the probability that the product is 8, the dice either have to be 2 and 4 or 4 and 2. The blue dice therefore has to be a 2 (4 is not less than 3), which is a 1 in 6 probability. The yellow one therefore has to be 4, which again is 1 in 6. The probablility that these both happen at the same time is given when they are multiplied together.
