In your top dresser drawer there are 6 blue socks and 10 grey socks, unpaired and mixed up. one dark morning you pull two socks

from the drawer (without replacement, of course!). what is the probability that the two socks match?

The probability that the two socks match can be translated into the probability of getting two blue socks or two grey socks.
The combination ways for taking 2 socks from 16 socks would be: 16C2= 16!/2!14!= 120
Way to get 2 blue socks of 6 blue sock: 6C2= 6!/2!4!= 15
Way to get 2 grey socks of 10 grey sock: 10C2= 10!/2!8!= 45

Then the probability is: 15+45/ 120= 60/120= 1/2

Find the length of the longest side of the rectangle whose vertices are given. a(2, 1), b(5, 4), c(0, 3), d(3, 6)
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
First, you plot the coordinates to visualize the problem clearly. As you can see in the picture, the longest sides could either be one of those marked in red. This could be initially determined when you use visual estimation. We measure this using the distance formula: d = √[(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)]

Between coordinates (0,3) and (3,6)
d = √[(3-0)^2 + (6-3)^2)]
d= 4.24 units

Between coordinates (2,1) and (5,4)
d = √[(5-2)^2 + (4-1)^2)]
d= 4.24 units

They are of equal length. Both are the longest sides which measures 4.24 units.

In triangle ABC, P is a centroid on a median AD. If AD=33 and AP&gt;PD find AP
jasenka [17]

Answer:

AP = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1.

It is given that AD is the median and AD = 33

It is also given that P is the centroid on the median AD.

Therefore, P divides AD in the ratio 2:1.

\frac{AP}{PD} =\frac{2}{1}

AP = 2k and PD = k

AD = 33

AP + PD = 33

2k + k = 33

3k = 33

k = 11

So, AP = 2k = 2(11) = 22

Put the equation in standard form y=-4/5x+2
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

4x +5y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of an equation is Ax +By = C

y=-4/5x+2

Add 4/5 x to each side

4/5 x +y=-4/5x+ 4/5x+2

4/5 x + y = 2

Now we don't have fractions in A ,B  or C

So Multiply by 5

5(4/5 x + y) = 2*5

Distribute

4x +5y = 10
