Answer:

Triangle D is not a unique triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle A: All sides have length 12 cm.

such a triangle will be a unique triangle and it will be an equilateral triangle.

Triangle B: Two sides have length 10 cm, and the included angle measures 60°.

Such a triangle will also be unique because with the help of the given angle measure and and the angles opposite to equal sides are equal we can find the measure of those two angles.

and hence we can construct a triangle with the help of these information.

Triangle C: Base has length 15 cm, and base angles measure 40°.

Such a triangle will also be unique as a unique triangle could be constructed with the help of these information.

Triangle D: All angles measure 60°.

Such a triangle will be an equilateral triangle but we can't say it will be unique as we can construct infinite number of triangles with different side lengths.

Hence such a triangle is not unique.

A fair coin is tossed three times in succession. The set of equally likely outcomes is StartSet HHH comma HHT comma HTH comma TH

liq [111]

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a fair coin is tossed three time, the set of equally likely outcomes is:

S= {HHH,HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

n(S)=8

Let A be the event that there are exactly zero tails which means there are all heads

Then

A= {HHH}
