3. A bag has five blue marbles, seven red marbles and nine green marbles. Three marbles are drawn

Answer:

The probability is 9/266

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is get the total number of marbles = 5 + 7 + 9 = 21 marbles

Now we are drawing the marbles without replacement, this means once a marble is drawn there is a decrease in the total number of marbles left.

The probability of drawing a green marble initially = number of green marbles/ total

number of marbles = 9/21 = 3/7

Now, we want to draw a blue marble

There are 5 blue marbles and we have already drawn one marble from the total. So the probability of drawing a blue marble would be 5/20 = 1/4

And lastly, another green marble

That would make 6 green marbles left and a total of just 19 left. So the probability at this point for green marbles = 6/19

Having and in probability means we multiply all

So this means the probability we are calculating is; 3/7 * 1/4 * 6/19 = 18/(28 * 19) = 9/(14 * 19) = 9/266

A triangle has sides which are consecutive odd integers and an
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Perimeter = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the length of each of the 3 sides of the triangle are consecutive odd integers.

Thus means that we can write the 3 terms as;

(x - 2), x, (x + 2)

Thus, perimeter is;

P = (x - 2) + x + (x + 2)

P = 3x

If an angle is 120°, it means that the corresponding side that is directly opposite the angle is the largest side of the triangle.

Thus, this side is (x + 2)

Using cosine rule, we have;

(x + 2)² = x² + (x - 2)² - 2(x(x - 2))cos 120

Expanding, we have;

x² + 4x + 4 = x² + x² - 4x + 4 - (2x² + 4x)(-½)

This reduces to;

4x = x² - 4x + x² - 2x

2x² = 10x

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Thus, other sides are;

(x - 2) = 5 - 2 = 3

And (x + 2) = 5 + 2 = 7

So,perimeter is;

P = 3x = 3 × 5 = 15
