(a) there are 8C2 = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are 21C4 = 5985 ways of picking 4 boys
Required number of ways for 2g / 4b = 28 * 5985 = 167,580
(b) at least 2 girls means combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or
6 girls.
2g/4b = 167,580 ways
3g/3b = 8C3 * 21C3 = 56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b = 8C4* 21C2 = 70 * 210 = 14,700
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 = 56*21 = 1176
6 girls = 8C6 = 28
adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is 257,964
For the triangle, x is 12 units long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
The hypotenuse is the side which is the longest in the triangle and is always opposite the right angle.
In the given triangle, the hypotenuse is 13 units long. The other two sides measure 5 units and x units.
Step 2:
By substituting the known values, we get



Rounding this off to the nearest hundred, we get that x is 12 units long.
