Answer:

p = 6/11.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have a bag that contains 6 red marbles and 6 green marbles.

Then the total number of marbles that are in that bag is:

6 + 6  = 12

There are 12 marbles in the bag, and we assume that all marbles have the same probability of being randomly drawn.

Now we draw two marbles, we want to find the probability that one is red and the other is green.

The first marble that we draw does not matter, as we just want the second marble to be of the other color.

So, suppose we draw a green one in the first attempt.

Then in the second draw, we need to get a red one.

The probability of drawing a red one will be equal to the quotient between the red marbles in the bag (6) and the total number of marbles in the bag (12 - 1 = 11, because one green marble was drawn already)

Then the probability is:

p = 6/11.

Notice that would be the exact same case if the first marble was red.

Then we can conclude that the probability of getting two marbles of different colors is:

p = 6/11.

Rectangle ABCD has vertices at (-7,-2); (1, -2); (1, -8); and (-7, -8) respectively. If GHJK is a similar rectangle where G(2, 5
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

J (6,2) K (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Now distance of AB = [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

                                = 8 units

CB =  [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

= 6 units by using same formula

Now AB/CB must equal to GH/HJ as rectangles are similar

GH =  [(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]^(1/2)

= 4 units

so

8/6 = 4/HJ

So,

HJ = 3 units

Now if we see the coordinates given carefully, it is obvious that two perpendicular lines lie perfectly parallel to x and y coordinates in rectangle ABCD.  A is (-7,-2) and B is (1,-2) which means distance along y-axis doesn't change. Similarly for C (1,-8) and D (-7,-8), one can see that distance between y-axis doesn't change. So lines AB and CD of rectangle are parallel with x and AD and BC are parallel with y-axis.

In rectangle GHJK one can see that in given coordinates, G(2,5) and H(6,5), y coordinate is same so it is parallel to x axis. Now, HJ is perpendicular to GH so it must be parallel to y axis. It means if we know the lengths of sides we can easily determine unknown coordinates by simple addition and subtraction.

So,  we know HJ = 3 units

J is (6,2) since HJ is parallel to y axis so distance on x axis will remain unchanged and length of line HJ will effect distance of y axis.

Similarly K is (2,2) for the same reason.
