<u>Probability and Sets</u>
We are given two sets: Students that play basketball and students that play baseball.
It's given there are 29 students in certain Algebra 2 class, 10 of which don't play any of the mentioned sports.
This leaves only 29-10=19 players of either baseball, basketball, or both sports. If one student is randomly selected, then the propability that they play basketball or baseball is:
P = 0.66
Note: if we are to calculate the probability to choose one student who plays only one of the sports, then we proceed as follows:
We also know 7 students play basketball and 14 play baseball. Since 14+7 =21, the difference of 21-19=2 students corresponds to those who play both sports.
Thus, there 19-2=17 students who play only one of the sports. The probability is:
P = 0.59
<h2>Answer:</h2>
Figure B
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>The Pythagorean Theorem is , where c is the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse).
To find the side length of each square, you have to square root the area of each square. This means that Figure A has side lengths of 3, 6 and 8 units. Figure B has side lengths of 5, 12 and 13 units.
In Figure A, if the triangle is right-angled, the equation must be correct. 9 + 36 = 45. 45 is not equal to 64, so the triangle is not right-angled.
In Figure B, if the triangle is right-angled, the equation must be correct. 25 + 144 = 169. 169 is 13 squared, so the triangle is right-angled.
Alternatively, as you are already given the square values for each side length, there is no need to square root and square again. You can just test if the two smaller areas equal the larger area, but the explanation above uses a more detailed example of the Pythagorean Theorem.
