I have 5 paper clips, 8 push-pins and 12 erasers in my bag. Assuming that the odds for selecting paper clips, push-pins and erasers is the same, what is the probability that the item I pull out of the bag is NOT an eraser?

the probability is 13/25

Step-by-step explanation:

5+8 = 13 and there are 12 erasers, 12 + 13 = 25. you have a 13/25 chance of not picking an eraser.

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
