Oscar's father has a large collection of ties. He has 18 ties, and 2 of them are paisley.
If Oscar's father chose a tie at random, what is the probability that the tie would be paisley?

2 of the 18 are paisley

So 2/18 can be reduced to 1/9

1/9 as a percentage is 11.1%

So 1/9 chance to pick a paisley, or a 11.1 percent chance!

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
