The lengths of sides of a triangle have to satisfy the triangle inequality, which states that the sum of the two shorter sides must exceed the length of the third side.

Here 9+8=17 (not greater), so these segments do not form a triangle.

Find the value of x.

omeli [17]

Answer:

x=45.5

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°

so 3x - 11+x+8+x-8+2x+7+x=360°

or 8x-4=360

or, x=364÷8

hence

x=45.5

Question is down below

Bingel [31]

This is a great question!

To determine the probability with which two sweets are not the same, you would have to subtract the probability with which two sweets are the same from 1. That would only be possible if she chose 2 liquorice sweets, 5 mint sweets and 3 humburgs -

$Probability( 2 Liquorice) = 12 / 20 * 11 / 19$

As you can see, the first time you were to choose a Liquorice, there would be 12 out of the 20 sweets present. After taking that out however, there would be respectively 11 Liquorice out of 19 remaining. Apply the same concept to each of the other sweets -

$Probability(2 Mint ) = 5 / 20 * 4 / 19,\\Probability( 2 Humbugs ) = 3/20 * 2/19$

____

Calculate the probability of drawing 2 of each, add them together and subtract from one to determine the probability that two sweets will not be the same type of sweet!

$1-\left(\frac{132}{380}+\frac{20}{380}+\frac{6}{380}\right) =\\\frac{111}{190}$
