Three coins are tossed once. Describe the following events associated with this random experiment: A = Getting three heads, B = Getting two heads and one tail, C = Getting three tails, D = Getting a head on the first coin.
Which events are compound events?

According to the given quesion, there are three coins tossed once. When three coins are tossed, the sample spaces are: S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT} So, according to the question, A =...

In a $\vartriangle ABC$, D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively. For each of the following cases show that $DE||BC$: (i) $AB=12cm$, $AD=8cm$, $AE=12cm$, and $AC=18cm$.ii) $AB=5.6cm$, $AD=1.4cm$, $AC=7.2cm$, and $AE=1.8cm$.

(i) Given information: $AB=12cm$, $AD=8cm$, $AE=12cm$, and $AC=18cm$ Required to prove: $DE||BC$. Proof: According to the given data, $BD=AB–AD=12–8=4cm$ And, $CE=AC–AE=18–12=6cm$ As we can see...

In a $\vartriangle ABC$, D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively such that $DE||BC$.(xi) If $AD=4x–3$, $AE=8x–7$, $BD=3x–1$, and $CE=5x–3$, find the value of x.(xii) If $AD=2.5cm$, $BD=3.0cm$, and $AE=3.75cm$, find the length of AC.

(xi) Given information: $AD=4x–3$, $BD=3x–1$, $AE=8x–7$ and $EC=5x–3$ Required to find: x. As $DE||BC$, by using Thales Theorem, $AD/BD=AE/CE$ So, $(4x–3)/(3x-1)=(8x–7)/(5x–3)$...

In a $\vartriangle ABC$, D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively such that $DE||BC$. (ix) If $AD=xcm$, $DB=x–2cm$, $AE=x+2cm$, and $EC=x–1cm$, find the value of x.(x) If $AD=8x–7cm$, $DB=5x–3cm$, $AE=4x–3cm$, and $EC=(3x–1)cm$, Find the value of x.

(ix) Given information: $AD=x$, $DB=x–2$, $AE=x+2$ and $EC=x–1$ Required to find: the value of x. As $DE||BC$ given, By using Thales Theorem, $AD/BD=AE/CE$ So, $x/(x–2)=(x+2)/(x–1)$...

A target is shown in fig. below consists of three concentric circles of radii, $3cm$, $7cm$ and $9cm$ respectively. A dart is thrown and lands on the target. What is the probability that the dart will land on the shaded region?

Given in the question, 1st circle – with radius $3$ 2nd circle – with radius $7$ 3rd circle – with radius $9$ So, their areas would be Area of 1st circle $=\pi {{\left( 3 \right)}^{2}}=9\pi $ Area...
