I have attached a diagram of the triangle described.
We can use any of the trigonometric functions to find angle x. Remember, SOH CAH TOA. And since we're finding the angle, we'll need to use an inverse trigonometric function. For this problem, I'll be using the sine function.
sin(x) = 84 / 85
x = sin^-1(84/85)
x = 81.2026 degrees (feel free to round to however many places you need)
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
111 / 190
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first compute the probability of picking 2 of each sweet. Take liquorice as the first example. There are 12 / 20 liquorice now, but after picking 1 there will be 11 / 19 left. Thus the probability of getting two liquorice is demonstrated below;
Apply this same concept to each of the other sweets;
Now add these probabilities together to work out the probability of drawing 2 of the same sweets, and subtract this from 1 to get the probability of not drawing 2 of the same sweets;
The probability that the two sweets will not be the same type of sweet =
111 / 190
