Answer:

I believe this is pathgorean theorem, which I did at the beginning of alegbra last year. It is basically finding the missing side of a triangle. (Trust me some of the easiest stuff you do all year) Below are my notes from last year. I hope it helps! Good Luck!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two sides

If you know two other sides of the right triangle, it's the easiest option; all you need to do is apply the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

if leg a is the missing side, then transform the equation to the form when a is on one side, and take a square root:

a = √(c² - b²)

if leg b is unknown, then

b = √(c² - a²)

for hypotenuse c missing, the formula is

c = √(a² + b²)

A bag contains 5 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, 3 green marbles, and no other marbles. If a marble is chosen at random from the ba

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

A = choosing a red marble

B = choosing a green marble

Probability of A happening = P(A) = 5/(3+5+4) = 5/12

Probability of B happening = P(B) = 4/(3+5+4) = 4/12

Probability of either happening = P(A) + P(B) = 5/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

The key word in their question is red OR green and that is why we add the two probabilities. If they ask the probability of them both happening (if they said red AND green), you would multiply P(A)*P(B).
