Answer:

The group of line segments that could form the other 2 sides of the triangle is;

B. 7 cm and 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is larger than the length of the third side

The given parameter of the triangle is that the length of the longest side of the triangle = 10 cm

Let, 'a', and 'b', represent the remaining two sides of the triangle

Therefore, by the triangle inequality theorem, we have;

(1) a + b > 10 cm

(2) 10 cm + a > b

(3) 10 cm + b > a

The option that satisfies condition (1), (2), and (3) are options 'B' and 'D', for which we have;

7 cm + 8 cm = 15 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 7 cm = 17 cm > 8 cm

10 cm + 8 cm = 18 cm > 7 cm

9 cm + 10 cm = 19 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 9 cm = 19 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm > 9 cm

Therefore, the possible combination of the other two sides are;

7 cm and 8 cm or 9 cm and 10 cm

However, a side of option 'D' is 10 cm and given that the longest side of the triangle = 10 cm, the length of each of the other two side should be less than 10 cm and the only given possible combination of the other two side should be option 'B', 7 cm and 8 cm.

4 red balls 4 white balls what is the probability of drawing at least 1 red ball if two balls are drawn
vodomira [7]
The probability of drawing exactly one red ball is given by:
P(1\ red\ ball)=\frac{4C1\times4C1}{8C2}=\frac{16}{28}
the probability of drawing two red balls is given by:
P(2\ red\ balls)=\frac{4C2\times4C0}{8C2}=\frac{6}{28}
The probability of drawing at least one red ball is:
P(1 red ball) + P(2 red balls) = 16/28 + 6/28 = 11/14.
 The answer is \ \frac{11}{14}
