SAS similarity theorem: When two triangles have corresponding angles that are congruent and corresponding sides with identical ratios, the triangles are similar.
Two right angles are always congruent, but corresponding sides not always have identical ratios. For example, first right triangle has two legs of 3 and 4 lengths. Second triangle has two legs of 5 and 12 lengths. Then \frac{3}{5}  \neq  \frac{4}{12}. That is the mistake.

<span>Daniel has not satisfied all the conditions of the theorem. The corresponding sides of each of the right triangles must also be in proportion for the triangles to be similar.</span>

I'd start by writing an equation for each of the right triangles. (Pythagorean theorem)

y² + 9² = z²
x² + z² = (4+9)²
4² + y² = x²

we want to find z so combine the equations by substituting the other variables x,y out.

substitute y² for (x² - 4²) in 1st equation.

(x² - 4²) + 9² = z²

now by rearranging the 2nd equation we can substitute x² for (13² - z²)

(13² - z²) - 4² + 9² = z²
169 - z² - 16 + 81 = z²
234 - z² = z²
234 = 2z²
234/2 = z²
117 = z²
√(117) = z
√(9*13) = z
3√(13) = z

13 goes in the box

Answer:

(a) 0.4242

(b) 0.0707

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways of selecting 8 herbs from 12 is

\binom{12}{8}=495

(a) If 2 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 2 = 6 herbs to be selected from 12 - 8 = 10. The number of ways of the selection is then

\binom{10}{6}= 210

Note that this is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 2! if any of them were to be included.

The probability = \dfrac{210}{495}=0.4242

(b) If 5 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 5 = 3 herbs to be selected from 12 - 5 = 7. The number of ways of the selection is then

\binom{7}{3}= 35

This is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 5! if any of them were to be included. In that case, our probability will exceed 1; this implies that certainly, at least, one of them is included.

The probability = \dfrac{35}{495}=0.0707
