Explanation:
________________________________________________
Given: Side lengths:
________________________________________________
" <span>24 in., 32 in., and 40 in " ;
________________________________________________
Divide each side length by "8" ;
</span><span>
24 in. / 8 = 3 in. ;

32 in. / 8 = 4 in. ; and

40 in. / 8 = 5 in. .
_________________________________________________
3 in . , 4, in, 5 in. ; is a "right triangle" ;

since: 3</span>² + 4² = 5² ;

→ 9 + 16 = 25 ;

according to the Pythagorean theorem: " a² + b² = c² " .

Answer:

Probability that there will be a seat available for every passenger who shows up is 50/50 or 49/50

Step-by-step explanation:

That is 2 or 3 people who make reservations would not show up.

Which means 52 - 2 or 52 - 3 people would show up

50 or 49 people would show up
