<h3>Answer: B) 18/25</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The wording your teacher provided is a bit strange in my opinion. Though I think they are referring to the people who aren't taking both classes at the same time, but they could be taking exactly one class.

We have 23+14+10+3 = 50 students total and 14 of them are taking both classes. So 50-14 = 36 students are taking exactly one class, or they are taking neither of the classes.

This leads to a probability of 36/50 = (2*18)/(2*25) = 18/25 which points to choice B as the answer.

------------------

Side note:

If it asked "what is the probability that a student is not taking a sport AND not taking a foreign language?", then the probability would be 3/50 because there are 3 people not taking either class out of the 50 total. So the keyword "and" is the change made here, instead of the "or".

Answer:

18/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 23+14+10+3 = 50.

14 out of 50 are playing sport and taking a foreign language.

So the answer is (50 - 14) / 50

= 36/50

= 18/25.

Answer: FIRST OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem. By definition, when a secant line and a tangent lline and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point:

$(Tangent\ line)^2=(Secant\ line)(External\ Secant\ line)$

The total measure of the secant shown is:

$18+Diameter$

If the radius is 7, then the diameter is:

$D=7*2=14$

Therefore:

$Secant\ line=18+14=32$

You also know that:

$External\ Secant\ line=18\\Tangent\ line=x$

Keeping the above on mind, you can substitute values and solve for x:

$x^{2}=32*18$

$x=\sqrt{576}\\x=24$

Answer:

Circumference: 18.84 cm

Area: 28.26 cm^2 (exponent 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = 2(pi)r

The diameter is 6. Means the radius is 3 (half of 6)

pi = 3.14

2(3.14) x 3 = 18.84

Circumference is 18.84 cm.

Area of a circle = (pi)r^2

(3.14)(3)^2 = 28.26 cm^2 (exponent 2)
