Answer:

i) 9

ii) 19 pens, 7 pencils, 3 erasers

Step-by-step explanation:

i) 171 = 3² x 19

   63 = 3² x 7

    27 = 3³

Highest Common Factor/HCF (171, 63, 27) = 3² = 9

Largest no. of bags = 9

ii) In each bag,

   No. of pens = 171 / 9 = 19

   No. of pencils = 63 / 9 = 7

   No. of erasers = 27 / 9 = 3

Consider circle O. If AE = 7, EC = 2, and BE = 4, what is ED?
miv72 [106K]
The correct answer is 3.5

Two chords AC and BD are intersecting inside the circle. The Intersecting Chord Theorem states that when two chords intersect inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal.

Thus, for the given circle:
(AE) × (EC) = (BE) × (ED)

The lengths of the segments are
AE = 7
EC = 2
BE = 4
ED = ?

To solve for ED, we simply substitute the known values into the equation
ED =  \frac{7(2)}{4} = \frac{14}{4} = 3.5

erik [133]

Answer:

c. 0.3974

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of white balls, W = 17

number of red balls, R = 18

Total number of balls, T = 35

The number of ways the event will occur is given by

= P(2 whites) and P(2 reds)

= P(2whites) x P(2 reds)

= 17C2 x 18C2

= 136 x 153

= 20,808

The total number of possible outcome

= 35C4

= 52,360

The probability = 20,808 / 52,360

                          = 0.3974

The correct option is "C"
