Question

In a park, there is a right angled triangular flower bed. Its two small sides are 5 cm & 12 cm respectively. Along its three sides at a distance of 1/2 m each plants of different types are to be planted. Rose plants are to be planted along the shortest side, Marigold plants are to be planted along the longest side & sunflower plant along the third side at each of the vertex a different type of flower plant is to be planted. Find the probabilities of the following. i) Number of flower plants on the longest side. ii) number of sun flower plants.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) 26

(ii) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

This is going to be a long explanation and i am typing everything so please mark as brainliest

Third side = $\sqrt{12^2+5^2}$                      (Pythagoras Theorem)

Third side = $\sqrt{169}$

Third side = 13 cm

Number of plants on the longest side will be 13 divided by 1/2 because one plant every 1/2cm

Number of plants on the longest side = 26

Sunflowers are planted on 12cm side

Number of plants on 12cm side will be 12 divided by 1/2 because one plant every 1/2 cm

Number of sunflowers = 24
