There are 5+6+4+3+2=20 m&m's in the bag.
Calculate in how many ways you can choose 3 m&m's from 20:
_{20} C _3=\frac{20!}{3!(20-3)!}=\frac{20!}{3! \times 17!}=\frac{17! \times 18 \times 19 \times 20}{6 \times 17!}=\frac{18 \times 19 \times 20}{6}=3 \times 19 \times 20= \\
=1140

There are 6 yellow m&m's.
Calculate in how many ways you can choose 3 m&m's from 6:
_6 C _3 = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}=\frac{6!}{3! \times 3!}=\frac{3! \times 4 \times 5 \times 6}{3! \times 6}=\frac{4 \times 5 \times 6}{6}=4 \times 5=20

The probability is the number of ways of choosing 3 m&m's from 6 m&m's divided by the number of ways of choosing 3 m&m's from 20 m&m's.
P=
\frac{20}{1140}=\frac{20 \div 20}{1140 \div 20}=\frac{1}{57}

The probability is 1/57.

Calculate the length of AC to one decimal place in the trapezium below.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

First we will split trapezium on two geometric figure.

One is rectangle and the second is right triangle.

When we subtract 11-4=7cm  we get one cathetus of the right triangle a=7cm also we know hypotenuse which is c=16cm.

We will use Pythagorean theorem to find the second cathetus b

b=√16∧2-7∧2= √256-49= √207 ≈ 14.39cm =DC =>

AC =√(DC)∧2+(AD)∧2= √14.39∧2+11∧2= √207+121= √328= 18.1cm

AC=18.1cm

Good luck!!
