(-2,6) (5,-8)

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (-8 - 6) / (5 - (-2) = -14/7 = -2 <==

midpoint = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2
m = (-2 + 5)/2 , (6 - 8)/2
m = (3/2, -1) <===

distance = sqrt ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
d = sqrt ((5 - (-2)^2 + (-8 - 6)^2)
d = sqrt ((5 + 2)^2 + (-14^2))
d = sqrt (7^2 + 14^2)
d = sqrt (49 + 196)
d = sqrt 245
d = 15.65 <==

A magician asks two volunteers to each draw a card from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability that the first card is

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

6.37%

Step-by-step explanation:

A deck of cards have 52 cards. There are 4 suits of 13 card each, those suits are Hearts, Clubs, Diamond and Spades.

The probability that the first card is a heart is:

$P(Hearts) = \frac{13}{52}$

Now, the probabily that the second card is a diamond is:

$P(Diamond | First card is Heart) = \frac{13}{51}$

The Probability that the first card is a heart and the second one a diamond is given by:

$P(Hearts)$ × $P(Diamond | First card is Heart)$

$= \frac{13}{52}\frac{13}{51}$

$= 6.37$ %

Help with 21 would be much appreciated.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}\ and\ y=4\sqrt3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{AD}{CD}=\dfrac{CD}{DB}$

We have

$AD=14-8=6\\CD=y\\DB=8$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{6}{y}=\dfrac{y}{8}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$y^2=(6)(8)$

$y^2=48\to y=\sqrt{48}\\\\y=\sqrt{16\cdot3}\\\\y=\sqrt{16}\ cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{y=4\sqrt3}$

For x use the Pythagorean theorem:

$x^2=6^2+(4\sqrt3)^2\\\\x^2=36+48\\\\x^2=84\to x=\sqrt{84}\\\\x=\sqrt{4\cdot21}\\\\x=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{21}\\\\\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}}$
