First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>
26.3 (5 out of 19) and 58.5 (72 out of 123)
May be wrong, but pretty sure it’s right
√3 x √5 = √15
7√15 - 2√15 = answer 5√15
simple
6² = 36
7² = 49
8² = 64
√64
Answer: See the attached image
You have the correct idea for the boxes you've filled out. For the first three boxes in column 1, I would be specific which segments you are dividing. So for instance, in the first box, it would be EG/EB = 55/11 = 5. Then the second box would be EF/EC = 35/7 = 5, and so on. The order of the boxes doesn't matter. The three boxes then combine together to help show that the triangles are similar. Specifically
. The order of the letters is important to help show how the angles pair up and how the sides pair up. We use the SSS similarity theorem here.
The second problem is the same idea, but we use one pair of congruent angles. So we'll use the SAS similarity theorem this time.
