Answer:
a = 
b= 4
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a 30-60-90 triangle based on the given picture. A right triangle too
Use sine, cosine, and tangent to solve for the side.
To find b, you can use sin(30) = b/8 because sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse.
OR you can use the rule for 30-60-90 triangle, which is x for short leg, 2x for hypotenuse, and
for long leg
So either way, b = 4
To find a, you can use cos(30) = a/8 because cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse.
OR you can use the same rule, 30-60-90 triangle to save time
a will end up = 
2/7 x 1/3 = 2/ 21
In simplest form 2/21 = 2/21
Answer + 2/21
Tan socks = 4
Grey socks = 7
Total number of socks = 4+7 = 11 socks
Probability of picking a tan sock then grey sock:
P(T)*P(G) = (4/11)*(7/10) = 14/54
Probability of picking a Grey sock then Tan sock
P(G)*P(T) = (7/11)*(4/10) = 14/55
Probability of two different colored socks
P(T&G)+P(G&T) = (14/55)+(14/55) = 28/55
This doesn't make any sense
