Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple matter of using Pythagoras. The hypotenuse is the ladder, and one of the legs is the wall, and we have to figure out the value of the other leg.

The Pythagorean formuda is (hypotenuse = a): a² + b² = c² (b and c are the other sides)

applying the values: a = 5 and b or c is 3 (I'll put b = 3)

5² = 3² + c²

25 = 9 + c²

25 - 9 = c²

16 = c²

√16 = c

4 = c

c = 4

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

5/11

explanation

Probability here is the chance of selection out of a total. So, we need to first find the total number of marbles.

total

=

5

+

3

+

2

+

1

=

11

So there are  

11

marbles total. The probability that we pick one of the  

3

green marbles out of the  

11

is simply that ratio:

P

green

=

3

11

Same idea for yellow:

P

yellow

=

2

11

The probability of picking either of these colors is simply the sum of their probabilities.

P

green or yellow

=

P

green

+

P

yellow

=

3

11

+

2

11

=
