First find the decimal equivalent of square root 3: SQRT(3) = 1.732 ( roughly)
 
If the base and height were each 3, then the hypotenuse would need to be:

3^2 + 3^2 = C^2
9 + 9 = C^2
18 = C^2
C = SQRT(18) = 4.24

This is larger than sqrt(3), so this cannot be a right triangle.


If one leg was 3 and the other leg was sqrt(3) then the hypotenuse would be:
3^2 + 1.73^2 = C^2
9 + 3 = C^2
12 = C^2
C = SQRT(12) = 3.46

This is larger than 3, this cannot be a right triangle.

The answer is b) no.

Because it does not obey Pythagoras theorem  (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

You're playing a game when you defend your village from an orc invasion there are three characters elf hobbit or human and five
34kurt

The probability that you'll be a magic elf is \frac{1}{15} or 6.66%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let A be the event of you choosing an elf.

The probability of an event is given by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.

Here the number of favorable outcomes is 1 and the total number of outcomes is 3 i.e. elf, hobbit or human.

The probability of choosing an elf, P(A) = \frac{1}{3} .

Step 2:

Let B be the event of you choosing magic as your defense.

In this situation, the number of favorable outcomes is 1 and the total number of outcomes is 5 i.e. magic, sword, shield, slingshot, or umbrella.

The probability of choosing magic as your defense, P(B) = \frac{1}{5} .

Step 3:

The probability of both events A and B happening, we multiply the individual probabilities.

P(getting a magic elf) = (P(A))(P(B)) = (\frac{1}{3} )(\frac{1}{5} ) = \frac{1}{15} = 6.66\%.
