The answer is:
a = c ÷ 2
b = P - a - c

The perimeter is the sum of all sides of a polygon. The perimeter of the triangle is:
P = a + b + c
where
P - perimeter of the triangle,
a, b, c - sides of the triangle.

It is given: 
P = 14.5 cm
c = 6.2 cm

If, t<span>he longest side (c) is twice that of the shortest side (a), then
c = 2a
</span><span>Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the length of the shortest side is <u>a = c ÷ 2</u>.</span><span>

</span>⇒ a = c ÷ 2 = 6.2 cm ÷ 2
⇒ a = 3.1 cm

By knowing two sides (c and a) and perimeter (P), we can calculate the length of the third side (b).
If P = a + b + c, then <span>the equation that can be used to find the length of the side b is <u>b = P - a - c</u>.

</span>⇒ b = P - a - c = 14.5 cm - 6.2 cm - 3.1 cm
⇒ b = 5.2 cm<span>
</span>

Marcus randomly draws tokens from a bag containing 10 blue tokens, 8 green tokens, and 12 red tokens. The first draw is a green
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: 1. D) 30

2. A) 8

3. B) 4/15

4. A)  2/9

5.D) 64%

Step-by-step explanation:    

1. Since, here the tokens from a bag containing 10 blue tokens, 8 green tokens, and 12 red tokens. The first draw is a green token.

Thus, the total token = 10 blue tokens+ 8 green tokens+ 12 red tokens = 30 token

Therefore, If the first draw is a green token, Then total outcomes that will possible = 30.

2. Since, getting green is an event with 8 favorable outcomes.

Therefore,  If the first draw is a green token, Then total favorable outcomes that will possible = 8.

3. The possibility of getting green in first drawn, P(G) = \frac{8_C_1}{30_C_1}

P(G) =  \frac{8}{30} = \frac{4}{15}

4. Here, Number of red socks= 5

Number of white socks = 2 and Number of  blue socks=3

Therefore total socks = 10

⇒ Probability of picking a pair of red socks,

P(R)= \frac{5_C_2}{10_C_2} = \frac{10}{45}

⇒ P(R)= 2/9

5. Since, here coin is flipped 50 times and lands on heads 32 times.

Therefore, experimental probability that coin will land on heads on the next flip = (total times in which head appears/ total number of experiments) × 100 = (32/50)×100=64%
