Using the Pythagorean theorem:

6^2 + X^2 = 14^2

36 + x^2 = 196

X^2 = 196-36 

x^2 = 160

x = SQRT(160)

x = 4 SQRT(10)   
Or as a decimal:
x = 12.65 inches

Hey there! :)

You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

a² + b² = c² is the same as: c² - a² = b²

c = 14
14² = 14 × 14 = 196

a = 6
6² = 6 × 6 = 36

196 - 36 = 160

√160 = 12.65

The length of the other leg(rounded) is 12.65 in

Hope this helps :)

The number of throws that the player make X follows binomial distribution.

The probability that the player makes x throws out of eleven throws is

P(X=x)=C(x,11)0.5^x(0.5)^{11-x}=C(x,11)0.5^{11}

The probability that the player makes at most nine out of eleven free throws

is

\sum_{x=0}^9C(x,11)0.5^{11}=1-\sum_{x=10}^{11}C(x,11)0.5^{11}\\ =1-C(10,11)0.5^{11}-C(11,11)0.5^{11}=1-\frac{12}{2^{11}} \\ =1-\frac{3}{512} =\frac{509}{512}

Correct choice is (B).
