In a certain Algebra 2 class of 27 students, 18 of them play basketball and 16 of them play baseball. There are 3 students who play neither sport. What is
the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays
basketball or baseball?

The probability is 0.89 or 89%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

There are n=27 students in a certain Algebra 2 class. 18 out of them play basketball and 16 of them play baseball.

We also know 3 students play neither sport. This leaves 27-3=24 students playing sports.

The probability that a randomly chosen student plays basketball or baseball is:

Simplifying:

The probability is 0.89 or 89%

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
