Answer:

(₁₀C₁) × (₂₀C₁)

₅₀C₂

Explanation:

There are a total number of 10 + 15 + 5 + 20 = 50 marbles.

The number of ways in which any two marbles can be drawn is the combination of 50 marbles taken two at a time: ₅₀C₂, since the order does not matter.

There are 10 red marbles and 20 blue marbles.

Thus, the combinations with one red marble are: ₁₀C₁.

The combinations with one blue marble are: ₂₀C₁.

The combinations with one red and one blue marble is the product of the previous two:

₁₀C₁ × ₂₀C₁

Thus, the probability that one of the marbles is read and the other is blue is the quotient of the two sets:

(₁₀C₁) × (₂₀C₁)

₅₀C₂

Find the area of a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 4 cm, DA = 5 cm and AC = 5 cm.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

$6+2\sqrt{21}\:\mathrm{cm^2}\approx 15.17\:\mathrm{cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral ABCD consists of two triangles. By adding the area of the two triangles, we get the area of the entire quadrilateral.

Vertices A, B, and C form a right triangle with legs $AB=3$ , $BC=4$ , and $AC=5$ . The two legs, 3 and 4, represent the triangle's height and base, respectively.

The area of a triangle with base $b$ and height $h$ is given by $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ . Therefore, the area of this right triangle is:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 3\cdot 4=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12=6\:\mathrm{cm^2}$

The other triangle is a bit trickier. Triangle $\triangle ADC$ is an isosceles triangles with sides 5, 5, and 4. To find its area, we can use Heron's Formula, given by:
