Answer:

The three sides are 27 feet, 15 feet, 13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let second side of a triangle be = a

Let one side be 12 feet shorter than the second side = (a - 12)

Let the third side be 2 feet shorter than the second side= (a - 12) - 2 =(a - 14)

Perimeter of triangle = Sum of length of all 3 sides

55 = a + (a - 12) + (a - 14)

55 = a + a + a - 12 - 14

55 = 3a - 26

55 + 26 = 3a

81 = 3a

a = 27

Length of one side, a - 12 = 27 - 12 = 15 feet

Length of second side, a = 27 feet

Length of third side, a - 14 = 27 - 14 = 13 feet

In one type of state lottery 5 distinct numbers are picked from 1,2,3,...,40 uniformly at random.
belka [17]

Answer: a) 1 / ⁴⁰C₅ b)  0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sample space consists of all numbers 1-40.

Since any of the number can be taken from the sample space  so each of five 5 distinct numbers we take has equal probability of occurring. So probability of each 5 numbers set we take will be equal to 1 / ⁴⁰C₅

b)

If we pick exactly 3 even number then that means other 2 will be odd.

So, we have sample space of 40 numbers out of which 20 are even and 20 are odd.

Now we have to pick 3 even out of 20 and 2 odd out of 20.

Probability = ²⁰C₃ * ²⁰C₂ / ⁴⁰C₅

Probability= 0.33
