Unfortunately, your answer is incorrect, but I totally understand your thinking. However, 1/4 is the probability for each individual that they'll be placed in a general civil case. Since there are two of them, and the question is asking the probability that only one will be in a general civil case, you have to approach the problem slightly differently.

There is a 1/16 chance that both will be put in the case (1/4 * 1/4), a 9/16 chance that neither will be put in the case (3/4 * 3/4), and therefore leaving a 6/16 chance that only one of them will be placed in the civil case. (1 - (1/16 + 9/16). This is equivalent to the decimal 0.375.

Draw out a chart of all the 16 possibilities, and circle the ones where the criteria meet. You'll find that there are 6 instances where one of them is put in a general civil case alone.

Identify the three similar right triangles in the given diagram.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

B. ΔABD, ΔADC, ΔDBC

Step-by-step explanation

Step -1 In ΔABD and ΔADC (from figure).

∠DAB=∠CAD (common in both triangles) ,

∠DBA=∠CDA =90 degree, and

∠BDA=∠DCA (rest angle of the two triangles).

therefore ΔABD similar to ΔADC (by AAA similarity theorem).

Step -2 In ΔDBC and ΔADC (from figure).

∠DCB=∠ACD (common in both triangles) ,

∠DBC=∠ADC =90 degree, and

∠CDB=∠CAD (rest angle of the two triangles).

therefore ΔDBC similar to ΔADC (by AAA similarity theorem).

Step -3 In ΔABD and ΔDBC (from figure).

∠BDA=∠BCD (because , ∠ACD=ADB from stap-1 and ∠ACD=∠BCD from figure) ,

∠DBA=∠CBD =90 degree, and

∠BAC=∠BDC (rest angle of the two triangles).

therefore ΔABD similar to ΔDBC (by AAA similarity theorem).

In the above step- ΔABD similar to ΔADC, ΔDBC similar to ΔADC and ΔABD similar to ΔDBC.

Hence ΔABD, ΔADC, ΔDBC similar to each other in the given figure.

Why is 20 to 40 is a 100% increase but 40 to 20 is a 50% decrease
murzikaleks [220]
Its because 20 is doubling its self. Its using 100% of its number, While 40 is decreasing by 50%. Half of forty is 20. Half equals 50%.
