Suppose you have a very large bin of white marbles (so large that you can assume you have an infinite supply) and an equally large bin of blue marbles, of red marbles and of green marbles. Now suppose that you intend to package marbles in bags of 17. How many distinguishable collections of marbles could be in the bags

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
