we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

so

 P=size of the event space/size of the sample space

 

step 1

find the probability that Joey will be first

size of the sample size=12

size of the event space=1

P=1/12

step 2

find the probability that Chloe will be second

size of the sample size=12-1=11

size of the event space=1

P=1/11

step 3

find the probability that Zoe will be third

size of the sample size=11-1=10

size of the event space=1

P=1/10

step 4

Find the probability that Joey will be first, Chloe will be second, and Zoe will be third

P=(1/12)*(1/11)*(1/10)-----> P=1/1320-----> 0.00075------> 0.076%

the answer is

the probability that Joey will be first, Chloe will be second, and Zoe will be third is 0.00075 (0.076%)

Find the value of x. Picture below
Wittaler [7]

Here a right angled triangle given. We know that one angle of a right angled triangle is 90°.

As the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°, so we can say the sum of other two angles of a right angled triangle is (180-90)° = 90°.

Here in the figure the other two angles given (2x)^o and (x+15)^o. Sum of these two angles is 90°.

So we can write the equation as,

(2x)+(x+15) = 90

We have to remove the parenthesis now.

2x+x+15 = 90

Now we will add the like terms. Here x and 2x are like terms. By adding them we will get,

3x+15 = 90

To solve it for x, now we have to move 15 to the other side by subtracting it from both sides.

3x+15-15 = 90-15

3x= 90-15

3x= 75

Now to get x, we have to move 3 to the other side, by dividing it to both sides.

(3x)/3 = (75)/3

x = (75)/3

x = 25

We have got the required value of x.

The solution is x= 25.

The area of a circle with radius r is πr². So you need to find r such that

πr² = 56π

⇒   r² = 56

⇒   r = √56 = 2√14
