Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the square of the remaining sides. The hypotenuse is the longest side (that is side opposite to the 90° angle).

In right angle triangle ABD:

AB² = AD² + BD²     (1)

In right angle triangle ACD:

AC² = AD² + CD²      (2)

Also:

AC² + AB² = BC²       (3)

But BC = BD + CD

AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²     (4)

Adding equation 1 and 2 gives:

AB² + AC² = (AD² + BD²) + (AD² + CD²)  

AB² + AC² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

substituting AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²:

(BD + CD)² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

BD² + 2(BD)(CD)+ CD² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

2AD² = 2(BD)(CD)

AD² = BD * CD

Jennifer has 25 books on her bookshelf. She has 10 fiction books, and the rest are non-fiction books. If Jennifer selects a game
saul85 [17]

Answer:

<h2>3/5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jennifer has 25 books on her bookshelf and she has 10 fiction books, the number of non-fiction books she has will be 25-10 = 15 non- fiction books.

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome of event/total outcome.

Since we want the expression that represents the probability that the book she selects will be a non-fiction book, our expected outcome will be 15(the total non fiction she selected)

The total outcome will be the total number of books i.e 25.

Probability that she elects non fiction book = 15/25

= 3/5
