We are given the triangle
△ABC, with m∠A=60° and m∠C=45°, and AB=8.
To start, we will calculate all angles and sides.
Finding angle B:
The total of all angles in a triangle equals 180.
m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180.
Substituting the known values,
60° + m∠B + 45° = 180.
This gives us m∠B = 75°.
Calculating BC:
Using the law of sines,

We can substitute in the values.



Finding AC:

Now we'll input the values.



Calculating Perimeter:

We substitute values here as well.


Calculating Area:
Using the area formula,

we can then insert values.

...............Answer
Part A:
Considering the best possible outcome
The ideal case occurs if the two missing socks are from the same pair.
Consequently, there are 4 complete pairs remaining.
To choose 2 from the total of 10 socks (5 pairs), the number of combinations is given by 10C2 = 45.
Choosing 2 that are from the same pair means selecting one from 5 pairs, so the count is 5C1 = 5.
Thus, the probability for this best case is 5 / 45 = 1 / 9.
Part B:
Considering the worst-case outcome
This scenario occurs when the two missing socks are from different pairs.
As a result, we have 3 complete pairs left.
The total ways to select 2 socks from 10, again, is 10C2 = 45.
To select 2 that do not belong to the same pair, we calculate as follows: 10C2 - 5C1 = 45 - 5 = 40.
Therefore, the probability for the worst-case scenario is 40 / 45 = 8 / 9.
<span>P(black socks): 24/42 or 12/21
P(black socks without replacement): 23/41. Consequently, the chance of randomly selecting 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket is 12/21×23/41=276/861, equivalent to 32%. Hope this helps!</span>
Let the number of years Brad has been on the soccer team be represented by x, and let y represent the number of years Scott has been on the same team.
From the information given, we formulate the equations:
5y - 2 = x -----(1)
x + y = 10 -----(2)
Now, substituting equation (1) into equation (2):
5y - 2 + y = 10
6y - 2 = 10
6y = 12
y = 2
Next, substituting this value back to find x:
x = 5×2 - 2
x = 8
So, Brad has spent a total of 8 years in the team.
