How would you draw a counterexample to this?

Melanie said:
Every angle bisector in a triangle bisects the opposite side perpendicularly.
A 'counterexample' would show an angle bisector in a triangle that DOESN'T
bisect the opposite side perpendicularly.
See my attached drawing of a counterexample.
Both of the triangles that Melanie examined have equal sides on both sides
of the angle bisector. That's the only way that the angle bisector can bisect
the opposite side perpendicularly. Melanie didn't examine enough different
triangles.

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability that he winds up wearing the white shirt and tan pants is of .
A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.
In this problem:
- For the shirt, there is 4 outcomes, hence the probability of the white shirt is 1/4.
- For the pair of pants, there are 2 outcomes, blue or tan, hence the probability of tan pants is 1/2.
Since the shirt and the pants are independent, the probability is given by:
.
