When five basketball players are about to have a free-throw competition, they often draw names out of a hat to randomly select the order in which they shoot. what is the probability that they shoot free throws in alphabetical order? assume each player has a different name p(shoot free throws in alphabetical order) (type an integer or a simplified fraction)

.Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Thank you for using the site.

I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

If we multiply there will be total of ways to arrange the players names in order.

Since there is only one order that will be arranged alphabetically, the probability that a randomly selected order is alphabetical is 1/120, or about 0.0083.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
