Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

For the middle size triangle

short leg = x

long leg = (25 - 9) = 16

ratio = x/16

For the small triangle

short leg = 9

long leg = x

ratio = 9/x

Similar triangles are proportional so

Set the ratios equal

x/16 = 9/x

Cross multiply

x² = 144

Take the square root of both sides

x = 12

With a 50% chance of it landing heads the first time, you need to multiply it by the percentage that you have that it will land on heads again, which is 50. 50% of 50 is 25, and then having it land on either heads or tails for the third time is guaranteed, so multiply that probability (100%) by the previous 25% which ends up being simply 25%
